5/10
Informr score
The LG A133 currently has an Informr score of 5 out of 10. This score is based on our evaluation of 2 sources including reviews from users and the web's most trusted critics.

The LG A133 is a clamshell phone available at knockdown prices with various mobile carriers across the country. As a result, the phone doesn't pack a lot of features and has a very basic feel about it. But, if a basic clamshell phone is what you're after, then this is definitely worth your consideration.

Most phones in this price range don't come with a camera. There is one at the back of the A133, however it's VGA and its poor quality will really test your photography skills. Call quality is fortunately good and there were no reported signal problems in tests by various reviewers.

The phone also comes with a built-in speakerphone and music player with FM radio, a nice feature for the price. Unfortunately, there is only 5MB of internal memory available. This means that you'll need to purchase an external microSD card to get the most of it. It's expandable up to 2GB, enough for a decent music collection.

The LG A133 is not a high-end phone, but all in all this little clamshell delivers the simple features well and at an attractive price.
