Samsung Galaxy A73 5G is a perfect mid-range phone, with an imperfect price
Last year, when Samsung had
launched its A72 device in the mid-range segment, it had received a fair bit of
praise. Even though the price was still high, the phone had an excellent
screen, better battery life and with some misgivings, and a good camera set up.
It also allowed 25W charging. The speakers, however, were not that great, the
refresh rate was just 90Hz and the processor was still a lower one.
While Samsung has
kept to its formula with the new A73 device, it hasn’t got rid of the
misgivings from the previous generation. Instead, the price has been bumped up
to Rs 41,999. It is overpriced compared to the mid-phone segment market. Camera
has been upgraded to more pixels, but issues from the previous generation
remain.
Design
Ergonomically, the A72 was a better design than the S20FE.
Thankfully, Samsung has
not changed the design aspect. The phone has a huge screen, but the fairly
squarish bezels allow for better handling than the more curved design. The mint
colour, which we received for review, lends the phone an attractive look, but
the plastic quality doesn’t do justice to the price. The corners are prone to
scratches though, so a cover is recommended. The volume and power button are on
the right-hand side, but the placement is a bit odd. Given the size of the
screen, the buttons should have been a bit lower, so that you don’t have to
slide the phone for one-handed operation. The camera bump at the back is less
pronounced, so it doesn’t allow much rocking when kept on a flat surface.
Sadly, the headphone jack has gone missing.
