Samsung Galaxy A73 was launched alongside other 4 Galaxy A series in March 2022. The A73 Samsung beats all others and emerges at the forefront among the in the mid-range segment.
However the Galaxy A73 5G doesn’t differ that much from its smaller sibling, the Galaxy A53 5G, as well as last year’s A72 and its 5G version. Still, compared to the Galaxy A53, the A73 has a better and broader display technology along with a Snapdragon 5G chipset instead of using Samsung’s in-house Exynos 1280.
Samsung Galaxy A73 Price and Accessibility Review
The price attached to each Samsung’s phone makes it quite accessible depending on your budget. In fact there is a Samsung phone for that you budget.
The Samsung Galaxy A53 is not an exception, sold at $465 which is very much pocket friendly considering the properties it possess.
The smartphone is available on Amazon and other retail stores.
Samsung Galaxy A73 5G Design Review
The design of the Galaxy A73 5G isn’t any different from its other Galaxy A siblings. Heck, it’s even harder to distinguish if you place it beside Galaxy A72.
The Samsung Galaxy A73 phone weighs 181g and is only about 7.6 mm thick which means that the device is very comfortable to hold and handle despite it being a large screen device.
It is rather plastic which makes it looks less fragile than other glass like phones. The phone does have a fingerprint scanner which help to identify the owner.
The device in general is quite subtle and unostentatious.
Samsung Galaxy A53 5G Camera Review
The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G features a quad camera setup.
The main camera is a 108Mp sensor with f/1.8 aperture and images are shot at 12Mp by default thanks to pixel binning. Photos taken in daylight or under good lighting conditions come out well and not much to complain about here. You can toggle between 0.5x zoom which uses the ultra-wide sensor and 1x zoom on the main sensor.
As long as there’s enough source of natural light (whether you’re indoors or outdoors), this phone can produce picture-perfect super-wide shots.
Samsung Galaxy A73 5G Performance Review
The Samsung Galaxy A73 5G is powered by an Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor and is paired with 8GB of RAM, there’s a choice of 128GB or 256GB.
The 778G is not a bad processor, it is a great chip for midrange 5G phones and is based on the TSMC 6nm node. It is a slight downgrade from the Snapdragon 780G which is based on 5nm.
The A73 does not lag or stutter by any means, and it performs well, once UI has been optimized.
Samsung Galaxy A73 Battery Life and Charging Review
The Samsung Galaxy A73 5G’s 5000mAh built-in battery can last an entire day with heavy usage with 120Hz refresh rate enabled and can go longer if with 60Hz and heavy usage.
It takes around an hour to charge fully its 5,000mAh battery from 50% with the 25W “fast charging”.The Power saving feature lets you turn off Always On Display, down-clock the CPU to 70%, disable 5G, and background app activity with a single setting.
Wireless Charging is not available and would have been nice to have taking into consideration the audience the device is made for.
Samsung Galaxy A73 5G Software and Special Features Review
Some incredible software features that the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G has includes:
- Android 12
- One UI 4.1
- Four years of OS updates
- Five years of security updates.
The interface is snappy and fast, but it comes pre-loaded with several apps such as Amazon Shopping, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Byjus, Josh, PhonePe, Snapchat, Dailyhunt, Truecaller, Samsung Free, Glance, Moj, ShareChat, MX TakaTak, Samsung Max, Microsoft Apps and more.
If you are a lover of Samsung mid-range phones 5G device, the A73 is a reasonably good option.
