Review on Samsung Galaxy A33 smartphone 5G 6/128GB, black by Agata Janczewska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

All comparisons were made with my previous Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. The main camera is clearly better than in the old Chinese, but not that ah. I am attaching some photos in different modes. The main camera is claimed to be 64 megapixels, in fact it shoots at 48 megapixels (8000 × 6000), and then (by default) compresses it by half to 4000 × 3000. In the 2x zoom mode, an uncompressed piece of the original frame is preserved, so the picture is quite detailed, and not blurry, as in a conventional digital zoom. At 4x zoom, some new details are still drawn out, and there is no need for more - solid soap, embellished with noise reduction. The wide-angle gives a pretty good field of view, but godlessly distorts nearby objects. Macro shooting with a special camera does not turn on by itself. For it, there is a separate “macro” mode, which is hidden in the “more” menu, from where it can be pulled into the main list of modes. In macro mode, the resolution is approximately 53 pixels per mm, when shooting with the main camera at a short distance - 42 p / mm, but the detail of a separate lens is higher. The "Frame Optimization" function gives brighter colors, but does not affect noise reduction in any way.

Pros
  • Convenient, powerful enough phone for sane money. A well-known brand, a good selection of accessories is still available for this model. Good protection class (did not check, of course, but I feel calmer). Not oversized. Good photo opportunities (see below). Wide range of customization options. The battery holds two days of not too active work.
Cons
  • The size is slightly larger than I'm used to, it's very difficult to manage with one hand, and the reduced screen mode is still an ersatz. No headphone jack. Yes, I know that this is the last century. But a wired headset for 1000has been serving me for six years without any complaints, but it seems that you can’t find a good wireless headset cheaper than 4000. The fingerprint sensor on the screen is noticeably slower than the usual rear one on Xiaomi. And in addition, you can save only three fingers. Pretty sluggish vibration response. The camera has a non-switchable noise reduction, because of which the pictures look somewhat artificial. Alternative applications for the camera do not know how to use all available lenses, Google Camera is not installed (went through a dozen assemblies - none worked). A lot of pre-installed software - at the same time Google, Samsung and Microsoft. This can be a big plus for active users of all these ecosystems, but I'm not one of them, and reminders from OneDrive, etc. only interfere. The package includes only a phone, a wire for removing a SIM card and a very strange wire - both ends of it are Type-C. You need to immediately buy a USB → Type-C cable in order to be able to charge your phone or connect it to a computer. No charger or case included. The native Samsung keyboard does not know how to enter typographic quotes and many other special characters, I had to immediately install the familiar Gboard. And at the same time - a Google application for calls with the function of favorite numbers and anti-spam. The Weather app is terribly translated into 2022.
