Design & display
The Galaxy A73 5G features a similar design to the Galaxy A53 with a smooth minimalist back and a single tone color scheme. The camera island protrudes neatly from the back making for a visually pleasing design.

It will be available with 6/8GB RAM and 128/256GB storage. The device gets a microSD card slot which supports up to 1TB of memory expansion, however, the devcie does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The device runs Android 12 based OneUI 4.1 out of the box and comes with a 5,000mAh battery whicch supports 25W fast charging. The smartphone does not come with a charger included in the box so buyers will likely have to shell out some extra cash for a charger.
