Samsung Galaxy M33 5G review: Big battery yes, but…

 The Samsung Galaxy M33 5G is also a 5G phone that pushes the envelope in this price point by not offering a charger. The phone has a starting price of Rs 17,999, and comes with Samsung’s own Exynos 1280 chipset. Most importantly like other phones in the M series, it continues with a 6000 mAh battery. But is that good enough to recommend this phone? Let’s find out in our review.

Samsung Galaxy M33 5G: What’s good?  

I’ll quickly highlight the basics

• Design is standard for the M series, it is bulky given the 6000 mAh battery
• The fingerprint scanner is part of the power button and works accurately
• It continues with a headphone jack
• Yes, this is 5G ready with support for 12 bands
• Dual-SIM with a microSD slot support 1TB
• Runs One UI 4 with Android 12
• Samsung is giving 128GB storage on both RAM variants, which is always good to see

Let’s start with the best aspect which is battery. That 6,000 mAh battery will easily last two days with moderate usage. Really push it and you will get one and half days. If you or someone in your family needs a phone where you don’t have to worry about charging every day, this is the easy pick given the battery size.

The phone sports a 6.6-inch LCD display with (2408 x 1080) resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung is offering an adaptive refresh rate, meaning it will change the refresh rate depending on the need, though you can fix it to 120 Hz as well from the settings. Still, the adaptive refresh should keep most users happy.
