Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A73 5G 8 GB / 256 GB / Global / SM-A736B technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A73 5G suits anyone looking for a mid-range 5G phone with especially high camera resolution. Its 108 MP rear main camera is among the highest-resolution offerings of its time, and it has optical image stabilization. The design is another draw: at 7.6 mm thick, the phone is among the slimmest of its time, while its 87% screen-to-body ratio is higher than that of most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display has a 1080 × 2400 px resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and Always-On Display. Overall performance is typical for its time, though its AnTuTu result of 575,551 is higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity also rates better than most, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and Dual Nano-SIM. It runs Android 12, with 2 years of operating system update support.
This version pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the Galaxy A73 5G is also sold in 8 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 256 GB configurations. Its 5,000 mAh battery supports 25 W charging, both typical figures for its time. The overall NeoScore is 6.5. That makes the phone a particularly suitable choice for anyone who prioritizes high camera resolution, a large display, and a slim body.
