Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Samsung Galaxy A73 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Stunning 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display with 120Hz refresh rate, offering vibrant colors and smooth scrolling.
  • Excellent main camera performance, with a 108MP sensor and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) producing detailed photos in good lighting conditions.
  • Reliable and fast performance for everyday tasks, multitasking, and even some gaming, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G processor.
  • Very good battery life, typically lasting a full day of heavy use or up to two days with moderate usage.
  • Guaranteed long-term software support (four years of OS updates and five years of security updates).
  • IP67 water and dust resistance rating, a notable feature in its price range.
  • Sleek and lightweight design, with a matte plastic back that resists fingerprints and feels comfortable to hold.
  • Good quality stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support for a decent audio experience.
  • Expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
  • Solid network performance, latching onto signals well in tricky areas.

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy A73 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • No charger is included in the box, requiring a separate purchase to utilize the 25W fast charging speed.
  • Charging speed is slow compared to many competitors in the same price range, taking around 1.5 hours for a full charge.
  • Build materials primarily consist of plastic (back and frame), which some users feel is less premium than glass/metal alternatives offered by rivals.
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack.
  • Pre-loaded third-party apps (bloatware) and numerous prompts for app installations during setup can be annoying.
  • In-display fingerprint sensor can be inconsistent for some users.
  • Camera performance in low-light, zoom past 2x, and macro shots is considered average or lacking compared to the main sensor's quality.
  • Some users report the battery drains faster than expected with heavy use of features like the 120Hz refresh rate, despite generally positive battery life reviews.
  • Lack of an adaptive refresh rate for the display means users must manually switch between 60Hz and 120Hz to save battery.

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy A73 5G in its 8GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration is a powerful mid-range option, distinguished primarily by its vibrant 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a capable Snapdragon 778G 5G processor. Key pros include its versatile 108MP main camera system, IP67 water and dust resistance, and the promise of extensive software support (four generations of OS upgrades). A notable drawback for some users is the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack and the inclusion of a slower 25W charging capability compared to some competitors.
