Samsung has revealed the Galaxy A73 5G, a smartphone that rounds out the Galaxy A series. Paired with a Snapdragon 778G, the Galaxy A73 5G features a 108 MP primary camera with OIS, a 5,000 mAh battery and a 120 Hz display. The Galaxy A73 5G will be available in three colours from next month but only in some markets.

Today, Samsung announced the Galaxy A33 and Galaxy A53, two 5G smartphones that feature Exynos 1280 SoCs. However, it mentioned the Galaxy A73 5G in its press release, which it referred to as:

Another new addition to the Galaxy A series, the Galaxy A73 5G, will also be available in select markets

Apparently, Samsung will begin selling the Galaxy A73 5G on April 22, although it is unclear where. Pricing remains unknown at this stage as well. Presumably, the Galaxy A73 5G will cost more than the Galaxy A53, which starts at €449 and rises to €509 with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Still, Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy A73 5G will launch with the same memory configurations as the Galaxy A53.

Additionally, the Galaxy A73 5G has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The 163.7 mm tall handset has a 5,000 mAh battery too, along with IP67 certification and a microSD card slot. Samsung adds that the Galaxy A73 5G also relies on the Snapdragon 778G, an SoC that it already used in the Galaxy A52s 5G.

Arguably, the most notable feature about the Galaxy A73 5G is its 108 MP camera, which supports OIS. The first Galaxy A series smartphone with a 108 MP camera, the Galaxy A73 5G utilises 12 MP ultra-wide-angle, dual 5 MP depth and macro sensors, and a 32 MP front-facing camera. Incidentally, the Galaxy A73 5G will ship with Android 12 and One UI 4.1, matching the Galaxy A33 and Galaxy A53.
