Editorial report

ZTE Blade A33s technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A33s is suited to people looking for a phone for basic tasks who want practical features such as dual SIM. The trade-off is substantial: its performance, display, camera, and battery are among the weakest aspects compared with phones launched around the same time.

Its 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are among the lowest figures of its time, as is its AnTuTu result. The Unisoc SC9863A is an octa-core processor, and the storage uses eMMC 5.1; it can be expanded with a card. The 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has 178 ppi pixel density and 400-nit peak brightness, both among the lowest figures for phones from its time.

The rear camera has 5 MP resolution and records video at 1080p and 30 fps; its resolution is among the lowest of its time. The 4000 mAh battery supports 5 W charging, and both figures are among the lowest for phones launched around the same time. The battery is removable. At 216 g, the phone is heavier than most phones of its time.

Practical features include Android 12, expandable storage, dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It also has Wi-Fi 4 and GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo navigation. With a NeoScore of 2.8, the ZTE Blade A33s is among the weakest phones of its time overall. It suits basic needs, provided its limits in memory, display, camera, and battery fit the intended use.
