Will have had mine 2 years in august. [...] Previously my nokia loyalty got me and i bought a sorroco 8. Beautiful phone but screen crack fallin onto my shoe then the battery started dying after only 6 months 100% nah that was just a trick really its 23% so i was very careful in purchasing this phone and it really it the best phone ive had forever. Good size but not to big,5g screen crystal clear, can take a bit of a beating with just its basic cover, good specs no slow own or jamming never have to repeat press, speakers are great for their size, easy to cast and connect with other devices like cars ect. Seriously my first phone was a phillips fizz in 1997 it had jelly bean shaped and sized button's. And could store 50 names and phone numbers and the sim was the entire card like credit card you slide under the battery. After the 5110 then 3210 then 3310 then i got a 6210 which was fantastic could store 100s of numbers was really thin and light the screen was white and it had the extra buttons but the best was the battery i could charge that phone once every 4 or 5 days the last 5% lasted all night till i hot home on more than one occasion. My last nokia after that for about 12 years was a white one the was really good but for its day was basic but it had a torch which was great and again the battery was even better lasting a week i think it was an 1100 or something close . [...] I got one at 15 because of living circumstances but was so embarrassed by it .wish i could go back to the 90s late 90s was so good i turned 18 in 1999

❗️Bought A73 2days back it had android 13 oneUI 5.0 I went to sleep with 39% battery when I woke up it had 38%, only 1% lost in 7hours. The next day I updated the phone to oneUI 5.1 and it lost 10% in 9hours while I slept & it is losing 1-2% every hour while staying idle. Is this normal?❗️
Had the phone for two months, sold it. Worse camera, lasting barely half day work, charging very slow, blurred hd video on full screen, no headphone jack, only the one thing i liked about it is the 120hz very fast and third party apps working flawlessly.
Been using my A73 5G for a month and it's a superb phone that satisfy everything I need! I lost my A42 5G at an ATM machine and made a police report but never get it back so I bought this A73 5G phone that is so much better than the A42 5G! Snapdragon 778G is a lot faster than the Snapdragon 750G that I hardly experienced any lagging! [...]
[...] The down side is that it is kinda heavy and I notice the battery drain fast, i dont know the problem I tried some solutions that I had watch in YT. [...] I hope it last me for 6 yrs becausr my Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 non pro lasted me like almost 4 yrs and its kinda slow and freezes most of the time that i need to punch it or restart it again.
I bought the Samsung A73 three months ago.... 1st time using a mid tier phone and I must say it's pretty good and so far I'm impressed. I'm not a photography enthusiast so the camera doesn't really matter that much.
I use my Samsung galaxy phone heavily, and it's still fantastic. Have decided to by a Samsung tv
I don't recommand this phone, I have it only a month and the battery is already draining fast.
I bought A73 5G a week ago and I noticed a horizontal grey lines above the display when the brightness set on low it usually shows when i touch the screen, it disappears when the brightness goes around 30% any idea about that?
[...] The A52s also includes a charging adapter (25W quick charger) and a decent jelly case. [...]
Just bought mine today and am fucking loving it so buttery smooth and camera is awesome, it also runs games like a beast
If you transition from any older S version to the a73, you will definitely in time notice that there is some stuff missing, well that's expected to keep the cost low, however the phone is still good. Unfortunately the a73 has terrible battery life and barely makes it through my 9 hour day with limited use.
I own ip 12p max and a73 that because i need a phone to play games and as working for grabfood is spending time outside mostly a73 works well fit for me.
just baught a slightly used A73 , been worried what experts will say, now i feel lucky i got it at a discounted price !
[...] Feels like a really good value for money.
[...] Not in connections via settings, not on Phone app and settings, nor a quick launch button. [...]
I bought the A73 5g, but it is worse tbh. It is a downgrading from the A8+ 2018
People complain about the phone price compare to me. I got it cheaply in a buy and sell online. [...]
[...] This is a good phone for the price you pay. [...]
I bought it mainly for the updates. I usually upgrade every 2 years but with A73 I plan to use it for at least 4 years!
I bought an A73 last month and unfortunately i had to resell it because my eyes are pretty sensitive to pwm had to go for the iphone 11 and so far im loving it❤
Bought my Samsung A73 and can only screenshot with power plus volume down button. But not passing my palm on the screen
