The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, while the rear cover and frame are crafted from matte-finished plastic.

The rear design closely resembles that of the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A73 5G models. Unlike the Galaxy A32, the Galaxy A33 omits the 3.5 mm headphone jack. Additionally, this model offers dust and water resistance certified to the IP67 rating.

Located at the bottom edge are the USB-C port, speaker grille, and primary microphone. A secondary microphone is positioned on the top side. Depending on the variant, there is either a dedicated slot for one SIM card alongside a microSD card slot supporting up to 1 TB of additional storage, or a hybrid tray accommodating two SIM cards. On the right flank, users will find the volume rocker and power button.

This smartphone is available in four distinct color options: black (Awesome Black), white (Awesome White), blue (Awesome Blue), and orange (Awesome Peach).

Hardware

The Galaxy A33 5G features a slate-style design measuring 159.7 × 74 × 8.1 mm and weighs 186 grams.

Connectivity options include GSM, HSPA, LTE, and 5G networks, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac with Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot functionality, GPS with BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, and QZSS support, as well as NFC capabilities. The device utilizes a USB-C 2.0 interface but does not include a 3.5 mm audio jack—a first in Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy A lineup. It also boasts IP67 certification for water and dust resistance.

The screen is a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel featuring an Infinity-U "waterdrop" notch with rounded edges, offering Full HD+ resolution at 1080 × 2400 pixels and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. Gorilla Glass 5 safeguards the display against scratches and impacts.

Powering the device is a 5000 mAh lithium-polymer battery that supports fast charging at up to 25 watts. The phone can replenish approximately half of its battery capacity within 30 minutes, with a full charge typically completed in about one hour and fifteen minutes according to system estimates.

Under the hood lies the Samsung Exynos 1280 chipset with an octa-core CPU configuration consisting of two ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz alongside six ARM Cortex-A55 cores running at 2 GHz. Storage options include either 128 GB or 256 GB of internal memory expandable via microSD card, paired with either 6 or 8 GB of RAM depending on the chosen model.

The rear camera setup includes a primary sensor of 48 MP with an f/1.8 aperture featuring PDAF autofocus, optical image stabilization (OIS), and HDR support; it can capture video at up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. The front-facing camera consists of a single 13 MP sensor designed for selfies and video calls.

Software

The device initially comes equipped with Android 12 paired with One UI 4.1. In April 2022, Samsung declared that the Galaxy A33 5G, along with several other Galaxy models, would benefit from four major Android version upgrades and receive security patches for a duration of five years.

By November 2022, the stable release of Android 13 featuring One UI 5.0 was made available in multiple regions. Subsequently, in November 2023, users in Russia obtained the update to Android 14.

Given the Galaxy A33 5G’s commitment to four Android version updates, it was highly probable in January 2024 that Samsung confirmed two additional significant Android upgrades following the deployment of Android 14.
