BLU G33 | 2023 | All-Day Battery | Unlocked | 6.26

Terribel product, only worked for one day! Save your money and buy something else.
This was a terrible product. I had to go through all the hoops to set it up so my son has a phone and can watch his videos. But less than 24 hours later, the thing crashes and requires a factory reset. GO through all those hoops Again and… it crashes asking for a factory reset. Nope, I had read the bad reviews on other sites and didn’t listen. And my son had only downloaded YT for kids, so not anything complicated. Any smartphone on the market now in 2023 should easily be able to handle YT kids. I actually went to a different company and got a refurbished iPhone 7 (which is also what I use) and I am happy with that. But the Blu is terrible. ANd the company website has nothing to help with this phone at all, and ther ewere no YT videos to help either.

For the price: it works.
I would not recommend this phone for anyone who has little patience or is thinking of getting this for their child.I got this phone as a temporary one while waiting for my new one to arrive. For the price, it performs all of the functions a phone needs to (texting, calling) and that was really all I needed it for. I did not install any additional apps onto it.The battery does last all day but ONLY if your usage is very light.The response time is incredibly slow and the screen is poorly calibrated. When tapping something, it registers the wrong thing and takes another several seconds to back out of it. Thus, I would NOT recommend this phone for a child if you want your child to have something reliable in emergencies.Typing also takes a while. If you use your phone to clock into work like I do, expect this process to take up to five minutes.The camera button on the side is OK in theory but it doesn’t take much for the button to be pressed. I’ll brush against it and the phone will turn on to open the camera (and this process takes nearly a minute).Unsure why it asked to rate face recognition or fingerprint reader as this phone does not have either.

STOP WORKING!
Phone is not loading, stop working, i thought was a battery problem but not it simply doesn’t start. bad quality phone

Mediocre. Better alternatives
As a Handset Enthusiast, I find hard to hold the BLU G33 in high regard. The hard-specs are lacking, with only 2GB of RAM, the BLU G33 is going to be slow & incompetent at performing multiple tasks at once. The 16GB of Storage is tolerable, but due to the inability to format Micro SD Cards as internal storage, you’re restricted on how many apps you can have on the G33. The Outward Camera & Inward Camera are capable of taking comprehendable photos, but they are certainly low quality & grainy in resolution. The Software is modern by 2023 Standards, running Android 13 Go Edition, one can expect a clean interface, albeit choppy & slow. The IPS LCD display/screen is clear, with very acceptable viewing angles, but don’t expect it to be crisp & high quality.BLU has always done a good job including accessories with their unlocked handset devices, the G33 does not disappoint. The clear TPU case is sufficient & charging equipment are included unlike modern big label phone manufacturers. Although not mentioned, the G33 comes with a pre-installed Screen Protector, albeit a cheap plastic film instead of the tempered glass ones they include with their high price models.The G33 is a usable phone & built quite nicely, solid in the hands with nice heft. Yet unfortunately, due to it’s internal hardware, using this device will require patience as it is slow in almost every aspect. If you MUST have a phone/handset cheaper than $100 USD with modern features such as Type-C charging & Android 13, this can be the device for you. But there are better options for your money if you are willing to use an older version of Android & Micro-USB charging. Even BLU themselves makes better alternatives to the G33, if you are willing to pay $20-$30 USD more, you can acquire the BLU G61S or BLU S91 which are slightly older but better performing handsets. The compromise with these phones is the fact they run Android 11 & will not be supported in terms of software updates, therefore may feel less modern.In the end, the G33 is a modern but slow phone, it is usable with patience, performing basic smartphone features. There are just some better options if you are willing to spend slightly more for a more enjoyable user experience.Edit: Spelling Typos.
