Design
When compared to their flagship counterparts, mid-segment phones have lower camera performance and quality. Samsung turned this concept on its head with the A72 last year, and it’s done it again with the A73. The phone has a great back camera and an even better front camera. Leaving away the gimmick of pixels, the visual quality is also better than the FE models. 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.
Camera
Samsung’s smoothing is less noticeable, and the image is clearer. The colors are more true to life. The performance in low light was just as terrible as previously. Optical Image Stabilization did not operate flawlessly either. However, it is one of the greatest camera sets in this price range. The issue is with the program. Many features seen in the upper end category, such as portrait video, were absent from A73’s offering.

Battery life
Samsung promised that the phone would last two days with its 5000 mAh battery. It can achieve that goal with light use, but medium use would last a day and a half. Expect a quarter of your battery life to vanish if you use GPS for two hours. In that situation, the phone only lasted about a day. This is where Samsung’s phone falls short of expectations. The Snapdragon 778G is a fine CPU, but at that price, one would expect something from the 8 series. Aside from that, the processor is excellent for everyday chores and light gaming. Asphalt ran easily on the phone, but Fortnite was a different story. Although there was little heat, the overall experience suffered. However, battery life was not an issue.
