Samsung is expected to unveil some of its latest midrange and budget phones as part of its Galaxy A event on Thursday. Ahead of the virtual event, images and details of the rumored Galaxy A33 5G appear to have popped up online. 

Reputable tipster Evan Blass, aka @evleaks on Twitter, on Tuesday shared images of what appears to be the Galaxy A33 in gold, black and light blue color options. The images show the rear camera setup as well as a small teardrop notch on the front display. 

Rumored specifications for the Galaxy A33 5G are also making the rounds but should be taken with a grain of salt until Samsung unveils official details. The phone is rumored to have a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It may be powered by Samsung's Exynos 1280 processor and, as the name suggests, support 5G. 

The Galaxy A33 is also rumored to have a 48-megapixel main rear camera as well as an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, a 5-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel lens for portraits. It may also have a 13-megapixel front camera. In addition, the phone is rumored to come with a 5,000mAh batter and to support 25W charging.
