Review on Smartphone Samsung Galaxy A33 5G 8/128 GB, Dual nano SIM, white by Andrey Kolev ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

There are no signs of opening or tampering on the factory packing. The phone came in a satisfactory box. Article number A336E claims the smartphone is not meant for sale in 2022, and the imei check confirmed this, as would be expected under the circumstances. The SIM card installation and first startup proceeded without a hitch; the 2022 language is present, and the phone promptly logged into the network. Unfortunately, Samsung Pay is not supported because the phone is localization-specific. However, there is an alternative: MirPay, which works flawlessly with WORLD cards. The package just contains a type-c to type-c cable, and not a power supply. After using Tinkoff coupons, discounts, and cashback, the total cost was $191,000. After three months of use, I suddenly stopped recognizing the power cable, and my phone stopped charging; restarting the device was the only thing that helped. I'm going to chalk this up to a software failure (also not good!) and not a manufacturing flaw.

Pros
  • Consistent with all advertised features
Cons
  • Although the Samsung A33 A336B is advertised for sale on the vendor's site, the A33 A336E is the one up for grabs.
