The Galaxy A33 is in the news since late September. Recently, a report from South Korea suggested that this handset may arrive with dust and water resistance. Just within a few days, another report reiterates the same and even reveals the IP (Ingress Protection) rating.
According to the sources of SamMobile, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A33 will be water-resistant as stated by The Elec report. The publication’s sources say that the phone will be IP67-certified like the Galaxy A52 series and the Galaxy A72.
Though the protection will be lower than that of the premium Galaxy devices with an IP68 rating, the handset will be still able to survive underwater (1m depth) for up to 30 minutes. This is reasonable for the smartphone’s asking price.
According to previous reports, the Galaxy A33 will have a similar design as the Galaxy A53 and the Galaxy A73 without a 3.5mm headphone jack. However, unlike those phones, this one will have a dewdrop notch instead of a punch-hole. As far as colors are concerned, it is expected to arrive in black, white, light blue, and orange hue options.
Unfortunately, we have no further details about the Samsung Galaxy A33, except that it will come in a 5G-only variant backed by a 5,000mAh battery. We are looking forward to learning more about this smartphone before its official announcement in early 2022.
