In addition to the Galaxy A13, A23 and A53 that have just been officially distributed by Samsung in Vietnam market, this manufacturer also introduced 2 new A series smartphones named Galaxy A33 5G and Galaxy A73 5G, of which notably. I mean Galaxy A33, which is considered a shortened version of the Galaxy A53 with similar performance due to the same Exynos 1280 chip, the design is almost the same, only the difference is in the screen and camera.
Galaxy A33 5G also has a box to cut accessories, only comes with a single USB-C cable
This year, the design of the Galaxy A series is very similar, from the back it is almost impossible to recognize the difference. In the picture above are Galaxy A73, A53 and A33 respectively with 3 different colors
The Galaxy A33 has a matte back, and the frame is also rough, even though it’s only made from plastic, giving it a comfortable grip.
The cameraq cluster has the same design as the Galaxy A53 and A73, including 4 lenses arranged in a rectangular module in the left corner.
In terms of parameters, compared to the Galaxy A53, the A33 cuts down on resolution, including 48MP OIS wide-angle camera, 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 123-degree viewing angle, 5MP macro camera and 2MP depth measurement.
On the front, Galaxy A33 is equipped with a 6.4-inch screen, using Super AMOLED panels, Full HD + resolution and 90Hz refresh rate.
This screen of the A33 is insignificantly smaller and has a slightly lower refresh rate than the A53 .
The main difference will come from the “water drop” design on the A33 compared to the “mole” design on the A53. For those who love aesthetics, the A33 is not a reasonable choice. The A33’s selfie camera is also cut to 13MP compared to 32MP on the A53

Performance is an advantage of the Galaxy A33 when it is equipped with the Exynos 1280 processor that appeared on the Galaxy A53. That is, basically, the Galaxy A33 gives the same performance as a device several million more expensive
Performance score of Galaxy A33 when scored with AnTuTu Benchmark and Geekbench 5
The device also has a 5000mAh battery, supports 25W fast charging similar to Galaxy A53
So compared to the Galaxy A53, the Galaxy A33 will cut down a bit on the screen (design and refresh rate), accompanied by a lower resolution camera (both front and rear cameras), the rest of the parameters. other is identical.
The standard version of Galaxy A33 with 6GB/128GB memory has a listed price of VND 8,490,000, while the 8GB/128GB version has a listed price of VND 8,990,000. The price of the 8GB/128GB version has approached the current selling price of the Galaxy A53 (the standard version of the A53 has 8GB/128GB of memory).
The price of the exclusive Galaxy A33 8GB/128GB version at the Viettel Store system is VND 9 million
Meanwhile, the standard Galaxy A53 version is being discounted to only about 9.3 million VND, only a few hundred thousand VND difference compared to the price of the A33 version with the same memory as the A53.
So with a price just lower than the Galaxy A53 with a few hundred thousand, specifically in the above case it is 300,000 VND (depending on the time as well as the sales policies of different dealers), it is clear that the choice of Galaxy A33 not exactly a “bargain”, especially the high memory version.
If to “save”, instead of buying the Galaxy A33 6GB/128GB, users should switch to the Galaxy M33 5G, a smartphone with a reasonable price, but also equipped with the same Exynos 1280 processor as the A33 and A53. The price of the Galaxy M33 5G is currently only about 7 million VND, even users can buy it for just over 6 million VND during the promotion, much cheaper than the Galaxy A33 and A53.

Galaxy A33 is indeed a rather confusing smartphone from Samsung. This device is in the mid-range segment, not attractive enough to attract buyers, but the price is also relatively high compared to other smartphones in the same segment.
In the near future, if Samsung has a policy to reduce the price of this device further, perhaps the Galaxy A33 will be a machine worth buying, but in fact at the moment, there is no reason for users not to ” compensate” a few hundred thousand more to upgrade to Galaxy A53 with more advantages.
