Samsung has launched a bunch of phones in India recently. The leading smartphone maker has updated its Galaxy A lineup which includes the Galaxy A13, A23, A53, A33 and A73.
Additionally, the Galaxy M33 5G also made its way to the Indian market and the phone starts retailing in India starting today. The first sale of the phone will go live from 12 noon onwards on Amazon, Samsung and select retail stores.
The Galaxy M33 5G is an affordable 5G phone that comes with a 6.6-inch FHD+ display that comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 6000 mAh battery and is powered by an Exynos 1280 SoC.
Samsung Galaxy M33 5G price, availability and launch offers
The Galaxy M33 5G comes in two different variants - 6GB+128GB and 8GB+128GB. The base variant is priced at Rs. 18,999 while the top-end variant will be available for Rs. 20,499. However, the phone will be available to purchase at a price of Rs. 17999 for the 6GB+128GB variant and at Rs. 19499 for the 8GB+128GB variant.
Additionally, the company is offering an instant discount of Rs. 2000 for ICICI Bank card holders bringing the effective price down to Rs. 15,999 and Rs. 17,4999, respectively. There’s a possibility that the introductory discount might be only available during the first sale as the brand hasn’t specified the same. The Samsung Galaxy M33 5G comes in two colour choices – Deep Ocean Blue and Mystique Green.
Like most other Samsung devices, the Galaxy M33 5G will not ship with a charging brick, so keep in mind that you might have to buy one in case you do not have a spare charger at your place.
Samsung Galaxy M33 5G specifications and features
The Galaxy M33 5G comes with a 6.6-inch LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution. Unlike most modern phones that come with a hole-punch cutout, the Galaxy M33 5G has a slightly dated Infinity V notch to house the selfie camera.
It sports a 5G capable Exynos 1280 processor coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of onboard storage. Powering the phone is a 6000 mAh battery pack that supports 25 fast charging. While this battery is big enough to last for over a day easily, the slow charging speed will force you to charge the phone overnight. Moreover, buying a charging brick is an added investment as the company has decided to skip chargers from the retail box.
In terms of optics, the phone comes with a quad rear camera setup which includes a 50MP primary sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. An 8MP snapper is housed under an infinity V notch at the front.
The phone runs on Android 12-powered One UI 4.1 which is great considering the fact that many phones in this price range still ship with Android 11. Last but not the least, the phone comes with a dedicated micro-SD card slot for storage expansion, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
