The blue- G33 is an exceptional device with a sleek design, vibrant display, and impressive battery life. Its camera delivers stunning photos, even in low light, and the performance is smooth, handling apps and multitasking with ease. A perfect blend of style and functionality, it’s a must-have for tech enthusiasts.

I bought two of these to donate and did a brief setup test (1 day) before handing them off. For a basic, unlocked phone, it does exactly what it should: calls, texts, messaging apps, maps, browsing - all run fine.
Don't expect gaming muscle or fancy camera tricks; this is a simple, dependable phone.
What stood out:
- Setup was quick and painless; menus are straightforward for first-time users.
- Screen is perfectly ok indoors, outdoors its still ok but not flagship bright.
- Speaker and call quality are clear for daily use.
- Camera is basic - daylight photos and document scans are fine, however low light gets noisy.
- Battery looked really good for a day while I was setting them up.
- 32GB of storage means you'll want to be selective with apps and backup photos regularly.
Things to note about BLU G33:
- This is an entry-level device: not for heavy multitasking, 4K video or graphic-intense games.
- You won't find premium extras like wireless charging or top-tier night photography.
- Flagships win on specs; the G33 wins on price. For essentials, it's a smart buy.
Conclusion:
If you need an affordable phone for essentials, a first smartphone, a backup, or a device for everyday communication - BLU G33 delivers great value. Keep realistic expectations and it's a win.

This phone offers basic functions like texting and calling, making it suitable for minimal use. The LCD display is clear with an acceptable viewing angle, but don’t expect high-quality visuals. The camera takes decent photos, but the image quality can be low and often grainy. The battery lasts all day, but only with very light usage. Performance is slow overall, requiring some patience during use. It does work with government Lifeline service providers. Overall, it’s neither great nor terrible. However, if you’re willing to spend a little more, there are certainly better options that offer a more enjoyable user experience.

I purchased 2 of these for my daughters as starter phones. You get what you pay for. They really just needed a phone to be able to communicate with me and this phone did just that. One of my daughters still has this phone, so Id say it was a good buy!

We want to use both US sim.and India sim.and this mobile caters our need. This charge easily drains and you have to keep powerbank always with you. Also it has so many unwanted apps which you cannot uninstall

Not the best phone out there but it is definitely meeting it purpose and is low cost. It will lag if you run too many apps in the background or if you running apps which require better operating systems.

The blue g33 is at heart... A phone.
Pro: Device shipped without issue was not damaged when I got it even though this was already an "open box" selection. All parts were available. Best Buy's part in the transaction went flawlessly. Phone was able to make calls. Take texts and surf the Internet when on a network.
Cons: this device has pop-up ads that are internal to the phone's operating system. Upon upon activation, the phone attempted to install five unrequested games and several unwanted non-necessary apps. Certain apps like Amazon Kindle which do not natively have preload ads had ads added by the OS system. In addition, the device regularly simply restarted without external cause. Connection and calls were sometimes choppy. Device battery life was also highly problematic.
Conclusion: This device did serve the purpose I purchased it for which was to have a phone that if I were to lose would not be the end of the world. However, if the phone functioned weld, I did plan to use it as a non-phone app platform for certain media. That will not be happening. I cannot recommend this device to anyone nor do I believe I can recommend any device by the company that made it. The ads alone show a problematic philosophy in design. In addition, there were attempts to breach certain accounts that coincided with me using this device. While I cannot say for certain that that those were caused, I am highly suspicious.

BLU phones are some of the most affordable smartphones on the market. If you’re on a budget or need a backup phone, it’s hard to beat their pricing. For under $150–$250, you can get a large screen, good battery life, and even a decent camera. It’s impressive on paper.
