A while ago, we unboxed and reviewed the Galaxy A53, and this time, we're going for the highest tier model among the Galaxy A series devices that launched here last month - the Galaxy A73.
Exactly like the A53, the Galaxy A73 comes in a slimmer version of the standard white box packing the previous Galaxy A devices. Yes, slimmer meaning no adapter included. Anyway, inside the box, we got the A73 phone, documentation, SIM ejector tool, and a USB-C to USB-C cable.
Based on the image of the phone on the box, our review unit comes in Awesome Gray. There are two other color variants available for this phone: Awesome Mint and Awesome White.
Placements on this one are a little different from the A53 with the SIM card slot moved to the top aligned with a microphone at the edge. At the bottom, we have another microphone, the USB-C charging port, and a single audio channel. Both the volume rocker and power button are located on the right.
Among its siblings, the A73 offers the biggest 6.7" screen on a Super AMOLED+ panel with an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
At the top of the display is a 32MP selfie camera. The rear camera bump on the back houses four units, including a 108MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 5MP depth camera, and a 5MP macro camera.
While its other two siblings come with the Exynos 1280 chipset, the A73 is powered by a Snapdragon 778G SoC, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. If these aren't enough for you, it offers virtual RAM expansion and a microSD card slot. Apart from those, you also get a 5000mAh battery with support for 25W super fast charging.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A73 looks similar to the other Galaxy A devices and its new siblings in terms of design. However, we expect it to perform pretty well as it has several features that you'll find on flagship devices. Stay tuned for the full review of the A73!
