Samsung's A-models are bestsellers, but the Galaxy A33 5G has to settle for a place in the middle of the test field. It has no glaring weaknesses. However, the camera and speed of operation are disappointing. On the other hand, the prospect of many software updates is good. It is also the only device in the 300-euro class that is waterproof...

The Galaxy A33 could also have been called the "A53 Lite", because there are hardly any major differences. Display, design, performance, battery life and support duration are similar - only the camera equipment differs significantly between the models. If you can overlook this, the A33 offers better value for money.

Class warfare: entry-level devices push down the price, mid-range devices want to be an alternative to expensive ones, and high-end models outperform the already strong flagships. Of course, you can't tell how good a smartphone is by its price. The test also shows that. Devices over 1,000 euros like the iPhone 14 are not necessarily better than those under 1,000 euros like the Google Pixel 7 Pro...

The Galaxy A33 5G is, in a way, the little brother of the A53. At 6.4 inches, it is the handiest test device - and technically hardly weaker. Thanks to OLED, the screen also shows crisp contrasts, although not quite as bright as the A53. The photos are decent (except for zoom). And like the A53, it is waterproof and future-proof with 5G mobile communications.
