Two Samsung Galaxy M33 5G - Indian and not so

We deal with the next smartphone from Samsung. More precisely, with two. However, they are almost the same.

The global Samsung Galaxy M33 5G, which willlive on our website under the name Samsung Galaxy M33 5G Global, was formally announced in early March, i.е. a month ago. In fact, at that moment there was no information about either the price or the chipset. Those. theoretically, it could be assumed that we have a good middle-class smartphone here. But so ... With a pitchfork on the water.

Global Version

Indian Samsung Galaxy M33 5G (aka SamsungGalaxy M33 5G India) was only announced yesterday, April 2nd. But it immediately fell into the hands of selected Indian observers. There are few differences from the global version. The main thing is a 20% more capacious battery, 6000 mAh versus 5000 mAh. Well, a little more weight and thickness. Plus other colors. Brown is not visible. The blue one doesn't seem to be that dark. Although this is inaccurate.

Indian version

About the characteristics.

Fresh Exynos 1280, made according to a verymodern technical process - 5 nm. Some statistics have already accumulated on this chip, so I confidently predict around 400 thousand points in AnTuTu. A good modern middle class without pretensions to something more.

Memory. Apparently, there will be two varieties on sale. 6 or 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of permanent memory. Plus there is support for memory cards - a separate slot.

I already said about the battery capacity, 5000 and 6000 mAh. The charging speed is the same, 25W.

The screens are already standard size 6.6″ (105 cm²).AMOLEDs were greedy, put something IPS-like. But the refresh rate is high, up to 120 Hz. The resolution is excellent, high - 1080 × 2408 (400 ppi).

The set of cameras is not particularly impressive.The front camera has a resolution of only 8 MP. Rear - four pieces, a classic budget quad set 50 + 5 + 2 + 2 MP from the main camera, wide-angle, macro and depth sensor. What is used as the main sensor, I could not dig.

Other. There are NFC modules, Type-C, dual-band Wi-Fi. The fingerprint scanner is located on the side.

And about money.

In Europe, the Samsung Galaxy M33 5G Global will cost from €309 (₽28,500, $341) for the younger version of 6+128 GB.

Samsung Galaxy M33 5G India is cheaper, ₹17,999 (₽19,800, $237) and ₹19,999 (₽22,000, $264) for the 6+128 and 8+128 GB versions, respectively.

For the Indian, there are already several videos from local reviewers. I hide a couple of videos under the cut, look for links to the rest on the page of the device on our website.
