Samsung Galaxy M33

Strengths

The phone delivers pretty great results when it comes to performance, powered by the company's in-house Exynos 1280 chipset.
It comes pre-installed with Android 12 based One UI 4.1, which puts it on solid ground software-wise, with promised up to two years of Android and four years of security patch updates.
The phone has a big 6000mAh battery that can easily provide eight to nine hours of screen on time, and will last you two days if you're not using your phone much.
The camera setup is fairly decent, with relatively better dynamic range and HDR processing in daylight scenarios, and good background separation and skin tone in portraits.

Strengths

The Ulefone Armor 27 Pro has a slim and rugged design that feels amazing in the hand, making it convenient to carry around.
The phone features an impressive IP68 and IP69K rating for dust and water resistance, giving you confidence when using it in harsh environments.
The triple camera setup at the rear is incredibly versatile, with a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 64MP night vision camera that can see through pitch-black darkness.
The phone's toolbox pre-installed app offers a range of handy tools, such as a protractor, height meter, compass, and more, making it a great companion for outdoor enthusiasts.
The Ulefone Armor 27 Pro has long battery life, with up to 2.5 days of constant usage on a single charge, making it perfect for extended adventures without worrying about running out of power.

Weaknesses

Unfortunately, the phone's manual and other paperwork are so small that you may find yourself needing to watch a video review like this one just to understand its features and specifications.
While the custom button on the side is convenient for quick actions, it can be somewhat finicky in terms of sensitivity, requiring some calibration to get right.

Samsung Galaxy M33

The Samsung Galaxy M33 is a mid-range smartphone that fails to impress despite its decent features. The phone has an all-plastic build with a reflective finish on the back, which makes it prone to fingerprints and smudges. The design is nothing special, and the TFT display is not up to par with other mid-range phones, lacking vibrant colors and contrast. Performance-wise, the Galaxy M33 shines with its Exynos 1280 chipset, which handles day-to-day tasks smoothly and gaming performance is decent, although it may struggle with high-end titles. The phone comes pre-installed with Android 12-based One UI 4.1, which is a plus, but there's room for improvement in software optimization. The camera setup on the Galaxy M33 has a 50MP triple-camera configuration, which delivers good results under daylight scenarios, but struggles at night. The ultra-wide-angle camera takes mediocre photos with noticeable color shifts. Selfies are decent, though. Battery life is one of the standout features, with an impressive 6,000mAh battery that can last up to two days on a single charge. However, the phone doesn't come with a compatible charger in the box. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M33 feels like a missed opportunity to create a balanced mid-range smartphone. While it has some good features, its mediocre display and build make it hard to recommend over other options in this price range, such as the Redmi Note 11 Pro or Poco X4 Pro.

Ulefone Armor 27

The Ulefone Armor 27 Pro is a rugged smartphone that boasts impressive features and specifications. The phone's build quality is exceptional, with a slim design that feels great in the hand. It measures 86.8 x 18.5 mm and weighs 441g, making it compact and lightweight. The phone has a triple camera setup at the rear, featuring a 50-megapixel main camera, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 64-megapixel night vision camera. The camera features include a night vision mode, video mode, photo mode, film mode, and more. Additionally, the phone comes with a built-in remote control app that allows users to control IR devices, such as TVs. The Ulefone Armor 27 Pro also features a toolbox pre-installed app that includes various measurement tools, such as a protractor, height meter, compass, and plumb tool. The phone's battery is 10,600mAh, which provides long battery life of around 2-3 days with constant use. Other notable specifications include an IPS LCD display, Mediatek Dimensity 6300 chipset, 12GB RAM, and 256GB internal storage. The phone also features IP68 and IP69K dust and water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor activities and harsh environments. After using the Ulefone Armor 27 Pro for two weeks, I can confidently say that it's one of my favorite rugged smartphones from Ulefone. Its slim design, impressive camera features, and long battery life make it an excellent choice for those who need a reliable phone for outdoor adventures or everyday use.
