Galaxy A33 specs leak ahead of tomorrow’s official launch

The Samsung Galaxy A33 is scheduled to be officially revealed tomorrow during the company’s Awesome Galaxy A Event, but the phone has already been leaked in full. The device was showcased by two separate leakers who revealed renders of it along with its technical specs. Although the information won’t be confirmed until Samsung officially shows off the phone tomorrow, the A33 seems to be a competent device if the leaked specs are to be believed.

The Galaxy A33 will use Samsung’s Exynos 1280 processor, which will also be used to power the Galaxy A53, according to the leak reported by Appuals. The processor is also still unofficially announced, but it’s rumored to have an octa-core CPU, which would give the A33 and A53 a decent amount of power behind their screens.

Samsung phones have been praised for their camera options in the past and the Galaxy A33, despite rumored to be a more budget-friendly phone, isn’t skimping in that department. The A33 features five cameras: A 48-megapixel camera for everyday photos, a 13-megapixel front-facing camera, an ultrawide 120-degree 8-megapixel camera, a high-detail 5-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel portrait lens.

The phone will also feature 6GB of RAM and have 128GB of internal storage. It will use a typical Samsung 5000mAh lithium-ion battery that supports 25-watt charging.

In terms of the leaked renders of the A33, four colors have been spotted so far. Peach, black, and baby blue were posted to Twitter by well-known leaker Evan Blass,; a fourth color, white, was revealed in the initial leak reporting by Appuals. These colors are pretty typical for Samsung offerings, however, they do look nice, especially for midrange smartphones.

Samsung’s A-series are some of the most popular devices around the world given their reduced prices when compared to competing brands like the iPhone. The introduction of the A33, A53, and the rumored A73 will likely add to the line’s continued success if the prices are right. If Appuals’ leak is correct, the A33 should cost around $400 and is rumored to be the least expensive of the bunch.

Are smartphone depth cameras pointless? Samsung might think so
The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G's camera module.

An interesting report from The Elec suggests that Samsung could be pulling back on the number of cameras found in its midrange smartphones, preferring to focus on improving the quality of what's there rather than continuing to play the numbers game.

This year's midrange Galaxy A series phones all sport four cameras on the rear: a main shooter ranging from 48 megapixels (MP) in the Galaxy A33, to 64MP in the Galaxy A53, to 108MP in the Galaxy A73. Joining those primary cameras are ultrawide, macro, and depth cameras of various specs.

The iPhone SE (2022) vs. Galaxy A53 camera test doesn’t go as you’d expect
The Galaxy A53 and iPhone SE 2022's camera lenses.

Samsung or Apple? It’s a common question among tech fans, and there’s never an easy answer. Here, we’ve got two of the brand’s most popular devices facing off against each other in a camera shootout, but instead of putting the most expensive models into battle, it’s a pair of far cheaper ones — the Apple iPhone SE (2022) and the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G.

Is it a fair fight? The Galaxy A53 comes with four cameras on the back, making it look far superior next to the iPhone SE (2022)'s lowly single camera. And even the selfie camera on Samsung's phone has more than four times the amount of megapixels! Surely, this is a battle that can only go one way? Well, not necessarily.
What are the differences?

Samsung’s Exynos 1280 chipset details promise ‘5G for all’
A graphic of the Samsung Exynos 1280 processor flying through the air with some emojis and square phone apps.

Samsung revealed the Exynos 1280 a while back, but has been stingy on details ever since despite launching the Galaxy A53 5G and A33 5G with the chipset. Now, the company is finally ready to share what's going on underneath the hood of its shiny new mobile processor. In short, the Exynos 1280 aims to bring solid 5G connection to devices in Samsung's budget to midrange lines.

The Exynos 1280 brings a lot to the table for the devices in which it will be used. Two Cortex A78 CPUs and six A55 cores give the chipset a good deal of processing power while not being overkill for the rest of the hardware. In terms of graphics, the 1280 features a Valhall-based ARM Mali-G68 GPU and can display 120Hz at 1080p.
