The Samsung Galaxy A series just ended, and two main smartphones made their debut. The Galaxy A33 5G and Galaxy A53 5G.
The Samsung Galaxy A53 has long been praised as one of the most powerful mid-range smartphones of the year. Galaxy A33 also seems to be a perfect entry-level device for users looking to try the Android OS for the first time.
Another device that seemed to have slipped under the radar is the Galaxy A73 which will be on sale at a later date.
With that said, let’s see if these devices live up to the billing.

It has a 13MP front camera and a 48-megapixel main camera on the rear, as part of a quad-camera setup. So you can be certain of some impressive shots.
An added feature to the camera is an improved ‘night mode’ that allows you to have better shots at night.
Also, the camera has optic image stabilization (OIS) which is extremely useful for keeping your shots steady when shooting by hand.
The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
With regards to memory, the A33 has 6GB and 8GB RAM options with 128 and 256GB storage options. With a MicroSD card, you can get up to 1TB of storage.
