Final Thoughts
Despite being a new release, the Y33s offers specifications that are almost identical to the Y31 that was released earlier this year. With the only key difference being its processor (Helio G80 vs Snapdragon 662), we don’t think a switch to the Y33s will be necessary.
In addition to competing with its prior model, the Y33s also offers fairly similar specs to the Redmi 10 that was launched just a couple weeks ago. In the end, it will boil down to overall design, brand loyalty and UI preferences when it comes to picking a favorite.
