Vivo Y33s 4G Review: Do features accompany premium look?
According to Canalys, Vivo is currently the top fourth phone brand in the global 5G smartphone market. While they are one of the dominant companies in the 5G smartphone industry, the brand also continues offering top-notch 4G phones at a budget price. That being said, Vivo Y33s 4G is a new addition to the market. With 8GB/128GB, 5000 mAh battery, and 2408×1080 FHD+ resolution, Vivo Y33s launched in Bangladesh on March 31, 2022. Let's find out more about Vivo Y33s from this review.
Key Features of Vivo Y33s
Design
The flat, big-screen may make the phone feel bulky; however, it weighs around 182 grams. But, adding a thin phone case may reduce the bulk feel. The right side of the Y33s contains three buttons, including a volume rocker and a power button. The power button also has a fingerprint sensor. The SIM card tray atop the phone is easily accessible for SIM cards. It can hold two nano-SIM cards as well as one microSD memory card.
The Vivo Y33 is mainly made of plastic and feels like plastic whenever you touch it. So, using it without a back cover will surely result in some unwanted scratches.

The 3.5-mm headphone port and power input are found at the bottom of the phone, and the USB-C charging port and speaker grille can be found there too.
Performance
Equipped with a MediaTek Helio G80, the Vivo Y33s has excellent overall performance. It runs apps without issue while simultaneously scrolling across many different news feeds. However, it may become slow if a lot of apps are open in the background and as notifications pile up.
Further, Vivo Y33s' gaming performance is limited to casual games, and heavy games will result in a lower graphics quality. The phone comes with 8GB and 4 GB RAM options. So, higher RAM will undoubtedly boost the performance.

Display
A pleasant addition to the Y33s is the Full HD-resolution screen. Smartphones with similar specs to the Y33's don't typically come with high-definition displays, so these may already be an improvement for one of these phones. This IPS display has great viewing angles and is quite good at reproducing colors, too. Hence, this is satisfying compared to the 720p displays from the competitors.
Although the screen feels soft to me, it is a bit fuzzy when you use it outdoors as it can be a bit of a challenge for you to understand the usual view without distorting it.
Overall, the display is good for people who have long Commute rugs because it gives them the opportunity to watch Netflix shows or gaming games without.

Camera
Vivo Y33s comes with a 50 Megapixel main camera and a 2MP+2MP camera, which is the prominent selling feature of the phone. The Samsung CMOS image sensor with a 1/2.76″ sensor size, a wide f/1.8 aperture lens, and 0.64μm pixel size is the type of camera that many users have given positive feedback about.
The AI-controlled camera has a 12.5-megapixel resolution that combines four pixels into one image and works great on low-light performance. Further, the 50-megapixel mode is available when the camera is set to a high sensitivity level. The camera also has scene recognition that applies the best settings and turns on or off the HDR feature.
With the right lighting, this camera can take good images that look great. Capturing a reasonable amount of detail, with some minor adjustments on Snapseed, is where your photos get their own set of tools to help you capture a perfect photo. You can adjust saturation, sharpening, and more to make sure your photos are dramatic in the right place.

The front camera is 16 MP to take selfies. The aperture for the front cam is f/2.0, and the rare aperture is f/1.5 (50MP), f/2.4 (2MP), and f/2.4 (2MP).
Connectivity, Sound Quality, and Security
The Vivo Y33s provide fast internet speed with a 4G LTE network. Further, the phone also supports 5GHz Wi-Fi networks. It also comes with USB Type-C for wired connectivity. The Bluetooth 5.0 technology allows you to prompt Bluetooth connectivity. Further, the phone supports GPS, OTG, and FM. On the earpiece, voice calls sound clear, while the loudspeaker may not sound good. So, you should try listening to music or watching videos via earphones.
Battery
The Vivo Y33s is equipped with 5000 mAh that can last about 2 days after a single charge and normal usage. On the PCMark Battery Life Test 2.0, the battery life is 16 hours and 43 minutes. The test indicates the battery longevity while simulating real-world tasks such as playing videos, web browsing, pictures, etc.

The phone may take around 2 hours and 35 minutes for a full charge. However, if you charge using an 18W charger, it may take 35 minutes.
Official Price of Vivo Y33s 4G in Bangladesh
The Vivo Y33s 4G's 8GB/128GB variant is officially available in Bangladesh at BDT 20,990. However, the price is subject to change depending upon circumstances.
Final Words
The Vivo Y33s 4G is an excellent smartphone for taking photos, streaming videos and browsing social media feeds. Its cameras are great for taking selfies during the day and viewing videos at night, and it has a screen with a large display and long battery life.
Nevertheless, its gaming performance isn't up to par for the price. It can run popular games smoothly but with poor graphics quality.

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G Review: A Fast Phone with Massive Battery
Samsung has been the top smartphone manufacturer in the world for years. They have several different phone series, and each caters to a specific market. One of their popular series is the Galaxy A series, specifically designed for those who need a high-end phone but don’t want to break the bank. The A-series offers features that you would normally find on more expensive phones.
The Galaxy A name appeared first on Samsung SHW-M100S in 2010. Over the years, the company has introduced many top notch phones under this series. And they have launched a new model, Galaxy A53 5G, on March 31, 2022 in Bangladesh. The phone comes with some excellent features. Let’s dive into the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G review.
Key Features of Samsung Galaxy A53 5G
Design
Last year, Samsung released a new industrial design for its Galaxy A52 series that included a rectangular chassis with gently curved sides and attractive colors. This year, the Korean company isn’t making any changes to the Galaxy A53, which retains the same design but with a few small differences.
Read Colmi P28 Plus Review: Is It a Worthy Budget Smartwatch?
The sides are completely flat; there is no curve in the front or back of the set, and the camera island’s design resembles its minimalistic emerging from the set’s chassis. Samsung is bringing back the polycarbonate design that’s more flexible and simpler to use. It prevents smudges too.
The A53’s chassis is considerably slimmer, so there’s no 3.5-millimeter audio jack on the device. But, it has surprisingly good audio for watching and playing media.
The chrome edge pieces on the sleek Galaxy A53 are distracting. Also, with no curves, the A53 5G is less comfortable to hold than the A52.

Display
There is nothing much to say about the screen as A53’s 6.5-inch AMOLED screen remains the same as last year’s A52 and goes up to 120 Hz. Further, the maximum brightness at 800 nits also remains unchanged, but it has enough brightness for the outdoors. The display comes with Gorilla Glass.
Unlike the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G misses out on a couple of niceties. For example, HDR10+ and dynamic scaling. However, A53 excels at the basics. The color of the display is rich and vibrant, the 120Hz mode can be enabled out of the box, and you can alter the color balance to your liking. Moreover, the always-on mode has a lot of potential, and you can set a dark mode.
Performance
Although Samsung has been using Qualcomm-based hardware this year, they changed the A53's hardware. It moved to Exynos 1280, and it is used for all the A53 phones around the world as well as in North America.
Read Oppo F21 Pro 5G: Leaks, Rumours, Expected Release Date
The Exynos 1280 contains a 2.40GHz Cortex A78 and six 2.0GHz Cortex A55 cores. Its 5nm design functions better than last year’s 8nm Snapdragon 720G/750G. Hence, A53 will be much more efficient than any phone with a Snapdragon. This will also provide greater battery life to the device.
Camera
Samsung is using a quad-camera array for its rear, equipped with a 64MP OIS primary lens with optical image stabilization, a 12MP wide-angle lens with a 123-degree field of view, and two 5MP macro and portrait lenses. It also includes a 32 MP rear camera with a fixed focus that can be used to capture 4K video at 30fps like the previous phones.
The hardware’s configuration has not changed from the A52. However, Samsung notes that they are using new sensors on the Galaxy A53. The new sensors, coupled with the upgraded algorithms along with Samsung’s One UI 4.1, help the Galaxy A53 stand out from the previous models.

If you are coming from a different Samsung Galaxy phone, you will discover the interface of the camera to be highly familiar. The entire shooting modes are accessible, and there is an exposure toggle, a flash button with a different setting, an HDR timer, and filters, and you will be able to access different lenses easily from the display.
But the quality of the low-light capability makes the A53 stand out above all else. There are some places where you miss out on smaller details because of a decline in the highlights and shadows, but for the most part, the phone has the upper hand in this section.
Software and Storage
The Galaxy A53’s software includes One UI 4.1 based on Android 12 out of the box. Samsung plans to release four updates to its flagship and midrange series phones, including the Galaxy A53. This means that The phone will get an Android operating system upgrade somewhere around 2025.

The phone comes with 6GB and 8GB RAM with 128 GB and 256 GB storage capability. In addition to that, you can increase the virtual RAM and add an external SD card up to 1TB.
Battery
The battery’s 5000mAh capacity in the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G preserves its endurance even when used heavily. If you use the phone for more than 18 hours, you will get more than 5.5 hours of battery life left on the phone.
The phone’s 25 W fast charging standard does not change, making it roughly equivalent to its A52 counterparts, which in return, charge the full battery in roughly 80 minutes. However, the fact that Xiaomi offers 120W charging, and Realme has standardized 65W charging. Compared to this capability, Samsung is way behind them.

The A53’ 5000 mAh takes around 30 minutes to reach 50%, which ensures the longevity of the battery. The phone doesn’t come with a charger in the box. Hence, you will need to buy it separately.
The Galaxy A53 does not have wireless charging capability. However, it is astonishing that this high-end phone doesn’t come with a wireless charging feature while other mid-range phones offer this easily.
Price of Samsung Galaxy A53 in Bangladesh
The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G comes in three colors blue, black, and orange. Whatever the color you pick, the phone will cost Tk. 43,999. However, you may also buy a phone as low as Tk. 40,999, depending on the store.

Final Words
Samsung is taking a conservative strategy with the Samsung Galaxy A53. The phone’s hardware looks similar to its predecessor, but there are several noteworthy improvements in other areas sucha s process and batteries.
The smartphone has a large AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz, alongside some good-quality cameras that take high-quality pictures in any kind of lighting.
If you are looking for a mid-range phone with long-term software support or need to rely on the phone most of the time for business purposes, you can buy it. But, keep in mind that Galaxy A53 5G is not a game-centric phone.

Samsung Galaxy A73 5G: What to Expect from the A series flagship?
It’s the start of April and words out that Samsung is gearing up for the launch of their mid-range flagship, the Galaxy A73 5G. The A-series has long moved from being entry-level Samsungs to a more premium mid-range experience. Like every year, a specific model from the A series takes the spotlight as the best in its class. From the hype and talks surrounding it, the A 73 5G is already gearing up to be exactly that. Here is everything that is known and what to expect from Samsung Galaxy A73 5G.
Key Specifications of Samsung Galaxy A73 5G
Design and Build Quality
There have been leaks and rumors surrounding the device for quite a few months now. Samsung has officially confirmed that the device is indeed coming this April a couple of weeks ago. The leaks corroborate a unibody design with glass front and back with an aluminum or stainless-steel frame in between. The camera housing takes inspiration from the previous-gen S 21 but tones down with a unified raised housing.
Read Samsung Galaxy A23 5G Review: What’s New?
At 181 g, the phone is expected to be on the lighter side. Unlike the more budget-oriented A series devices, the A73 5G will not feature the fingerprint sensor on the power button. Rather Samsung is going with a more traditional display fingerprint solution.
The usual port selection is all here with either dual or single sim variants. The dual-sim variant will have to compromise on the second sim to use the micro SDXC slot. The 3.5 mm headphone jack hasn’t been confirmed yet so it's there with a ghost status as of now. Given the marketing segment of the device, it was expected that the device will feature a stereo speaker. However, Samsung has specified that they will only be using a bottom-firing single speaker here. A positive aspect here is the IP67 splash and dust resistance. It won't be good enough for swims but should be fairly okay in rains or water gusts.
Read Oppo F21 Pro 5G: Leaks, Rumours, Expected Release Date
The display
The display is undoubtedly going to be the biggest selling point of the A73 5G; but why? Because Samsung is bringing their high-flying Super AMOLED+ panels to this device. The 6.67-inches 120 Hz panel is limited to FHD+ resolution. Certainly, that was expected given the price segment it is aimed at.
The display will surprise the viewers in every way. The blacks look deep with rich color contrast. Viewing angles here doesn’t produce any kind of color shift whatsoever. The peak brightness isn’t rated here, but given the resolution, it should be anywhere around 1300 nits. Overall, the display will bring a pleasant viewing experience for first-time users as well as Samsung old-timers.

The Camera
The Samsung A-series phones have always had big specs on camera technology. In line with previous models, the Samsung Galaxy A73 5G is expected to come with a quad-camera setup as well.
But what's interesting here is the main sensor. The main lens is expected to be a 108 MP one with PDAF and OIS incorporated. The other sensors here are a 12 MP ultrawide and 5 MP macro as well as a 5 MP depth sensor. The macro and the depth sensor might feel a bit gimmicky but they are there to satisfy the enthusiast.
Not much is known about the main sensor itself. It can be either a modified version of Samsung’s own GN1 sensor or an IMX sensor for Sony. But one thing is certain, the main sensor will incorporate pixel binding technology to make the best out of the camera tech at hand.
Read Samsung Galaxy M33 5G Review: Does it offer value for money?
It's hard to tell for sure how the camera will perform in real-world conditions. There have been 108 MP main sensors in phones like Realme 8 Pro and Redmi Note 11 series. With Samsung’s computational power, it is safe to assume that the performance should easily surpass its competitors.
Processor and Performance
According to leaks, the Samsung Galaxy A73 5G will be powered by Snapdragon 778G 5G chipset. The 700 series from Snapdragon have been their proprietary mid-range processor for a long time. The chipset is built on a 6 Nm architecture which promises an efficient performance. The octa-core processor features 4 2.4 GHz Kryo 670 and 4 1.8 GHz Kryo 670 chips along with Adreno 642L as the GPU unit.
The Snapdragon 778G chipset has previously been featured in devices like Realme GT master edition, Xiaomi 11 lite, and iQOO Z5. Going by the performance on those devices, the processor is going to pack some serious punch. It should be able to handle graphic intensive as well as 3D game titles easily along with light tasks like browsing the web or watching YouTube.
Read Xiaomi POCO X4 Pro Review: Know the Pros and Cons
On the OS front, users will be getting One UI 4.1 based on Android 12. There’s nothing new about the One UI anymore. The massive OS overhaul has made it one of the most functional utility-oriented experiences out there.
Overall, the performance spec sheet should make any enthusiast hopeful about the caliber of the device.
Battery and Charge Time
The Samsung Galaxy A73 5G is expected to come with a 5000 mAh battery. The device will support 25W fast charging which is going to make the charge cycle a lot easier for the users. The efficient 6 Nm processor means users will easily get around 7 to 8 hours of SoT with the device.
Read Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra: What to Expect from the Next Xiaomi Flagship?
Price of Samsung Galaxy A73 in Bangladesh
The expected retail price of the Samsung Galaxy A73 5G in India is 41,999 Rs which roughly translates to BDT 47,739 (1 INR = 1.14 BDT). However, the price may differ based on supply chain, company policy, and tax.
Verdict
As things stand, the Samsung Galaxy A73 5G looks to be a promising device on every front. The amazing display is coupled with a powerful processor and camera system this time around. While the phone has nailed almost all the leading aspects, it still falls short in minor improvements like dual stereo speakers and an outdated design. Other than that, the A73 5G may very well be the next standard in the mid-range market.

Samsung Galaxy A23 5G Review: What’s New?
Samsung has recently launched the Galaxy A23 on 25th March 2022. The phone will be available globally on a rollout schedule. Over the years, the A series has shifted from being flagship entry-level devices to mid-range and premium mid-range categories. With a reminiscent design, powerful battery, and quad-camera system, does the Galaxy A23 bring the promise of an affordable premium experience to the table? Or does it fall short of the idea? Here is a detailed review of the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G.
Key Specifications of Samsung Galaxy A23 5G
Design and Build Quality
The Samsung Galaxy A23 is reminiscent per se of the hugely popular F series device, the Galaxy F23 5G. While the design choices are almost similar, it is both a good and slightly less impressive aspect of the device.
The A23 is a plastic device with a glass front. There are other A series devices with an aluminum frame and glass back but those are much higher priced compared to the A23.
Read Oppo F21 Pro 5G: Leaks, Rumours, Expected Release Date
Moving onto the design details, the phone features a raised camera housing that is flush on all four sides. The back and the frame are made from glossy plastic which inadvertently makes it a fingerprint magnet.
The usual buttons and ports are all present in a typical A series fashion. The side-mounted power button also acts as the fingerprint scanner. The device also retains the 3.5 mm headphone jack along with the secondary noise cancellation mic. There are both single and dual sim options with a dedicated slot for micro SDXC.
Overall, the design is a tad move away from the usual A series elements. But the build quality and hand feel remain the same as ever like other entry-level A series devices.
Read Vivo Y33s 5G: Does it offer value for money?
The Display
The A series displays have seen quite a jump since its initial days. Now most A series devices come with either IPS LCD panels or Samsung’s proprietary AMOLED panels. But unfortunately, the A23 doesn’t sport any of those. Rather it comes with TFT panels. Now TFT panels were great in the initial days of display tech. Compared to AMOLED and LCD panels, the displays fall well short of the benchmark.
The panel on the A23 isn’t terrible, but it isn’t great either. The display washes out colors at max brightness and edges bleeding issues are also prevalent. The viewing angles are nowhere near AMOLED level. Even though the A23 comes with an entry-level price tag, Samsung could have definitely used an LCD panel over the TFT one.

Oppo F21 Pro 5G: Leaks, Rumours, Expected Release Date
The Oppo F21 series has been a subject of speculation for some time. Oppo is likely to announce three smartphones in the F21 series — the Oppo F21, the Oppo F21 Pro, and the Oppo F21 Pro+. Oppo has not announced its impending arrival. However, reports suggest that the gadgets will debut in India this month. Now, a leaked official-looking poster for the Oppo F21 Pro 5G has appeared online, displaying the smartphone's design. People are now talking about the features and functionalities of the phone.
All the Leaks and Rumours about the Upcoming Oppo F21 Pro
Design
Separately, Oppo released a press letter detailing the design of the F21 Pro series. According to the business, the Fiberglass-Leather design also functions as a 'frameless' battery cover. The manufacturer stated that it took two years to develop the back design made of lychee-grain leather that is waterproof and "heavily" wear-resistant.
Oppo has suggested that the Oppo F21 Pro 5G will be available in two color options: Rainbow Spectrum and Cosmic Black. The Cosmic Black color option has Oppo Glow technology, which creates a glossy look with a matte in-hand feel that is resistant to fingerprints and stains. The Rainbow Spectrum color, on the other hand, is created using a 'three-layer texture and a two-layer coating method,' the manufacturer said.

Display
The Oppo F21 Pro is rumored to come with a 6.5-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 2,400 x 1,080-pixel resolution. The Snapdragon 680 4G processor may be paired with an Adreno 610 GPU to power the smartphone. Up to 8GB of default RAM and 256GB of internal storage are available on the phone.
Rear Cameras
The OPPO F21 Pro series has a rectangular camera module with a dual-tone design that houses three sensors and an LED flash. A closer examination of the camera island reveals that the forthcoming product would have a camera panel equipped with lenses of 64MP, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, dual 2MP sensors.
By comparing it to other phones with a similar setup, users may anticipate the camera's output to be good throughout the day, both in video and photographs. Colors should be accurately reproduced, and the abundance of colorizing choices and settings should result in visually attractive images. Where it may fall short is in terms of night photography.

As long as the subject is well-lit, the standard macro mode will provide excellent results — even in video. Daylight photographs from the primary camera, wide-angle lens, and macro lens must all be of exceptional quality. However, like other phones with a similar camera configuration, this one is unlikely to be an excellent slow-motion camera. Even in daylight, it generates much too much ghosting.
Front Camera
The 32MP selfie camera will also delight the majority of consumers. It is believed that the skin tone is accurate in most instances and that the detail is adequate unless the subject is really dark. People expect the phone to support up to 1080p resolution and an at least a 30fps frame rate for the video capturing ability.
Performance and Software
This OPPO smartphone is hoped to be packed with an Octa-core (1x2.4 GHz Kryo 475 Prime, 1x2.2 GHz Kryo 475 Gold, and 6x1.8 GHz Kryo 475 Silver) CPU that provides a fluid and lag-free performance while multitasking and running demanding graphics games. As a result, you'll be able to play games, listen to music, view movies or videos, and do other tasks without having to worry about battery consumption.

Oppo touts a memory boost technology that, according to the manufacturer, can enhance RAM by using some storage space and functioning as RAM. Though this is a common concept, it is possible that this is the first time it has been implemented on the phone. Additional 5G capabilities are a nice extra that will come in handy once 5G is completely deployed.
The Oppo F21 Pro will ship with ColorOS, an Android 11-based operating system. The UI will be very fluid, and it will have a boatload of new features, like a dark mode, customization of accent colors, and an always-on display option. The corporation has tried to make its software subtler and more customizable. While bloatware and numerous alerts might detract from the experience, most of them are tolerable.
The F21 Pro will be welcomed by gamers. They can play PUBG and Call of Duty in high definition without encountering latency or command execution delays. Asphalt 9 also provided an enjoyable gameplay experience.

Due to its expected 5300mAh battery and clever optimization, the Oppo F21 Pro is projected to comfortably last a full day on a combination of 4G and WiFi networks. Additionally, charging the phone will be a breeze. The public is hoping that the phone will have a super-fast charger. This is quite beneficial when you need to go somewhere quickly and don't have time for a quick refill.
