My rooted A53 is pretty snappy, but it was pretty slow out of the box. It turns out the bloatware makes a huge difference.

My understanding is that the A33 is the same phone, only with somewhat cheaper display and cameras, so it should be able to get there, too.

So, how do you get rid of that bloat? I've tried removing all the apps I could, but it didn't make any difference.

Before my iphone, I used to have the GS1, 3 and 5 with custom ROMs. My fondest memory is of Slim Rom on the GS3. It gave it back its life. Before the A33, my mom used to have a GS4 mini with LineageOS. It ran circles around the stock version, even though it was a newer Android version. I think the A33 wasn't supported back when I bought it, so I left it with its stock ROM.
