Galaxy A73 loses the beloved zoom camera
Strictly speaking, 108 MP sensors have been around on mid-range smartphones for quite some time now, especially ones from Xiaomi. However, Samsung took its own sweet time bringing it to non-Galaxy S devices, with the Galaxy A73 being the first of its kind. It keeps the Galaxy A72‘s 12 MP ultra-wide-angle lens and substitutes the telephoto lens with a 5 MP depth sensor.
Although the Galaxy A73 offers many quality-of-life upgrades such as a better Snapdragon 778G SoC and a 120 Hz screen, the lack of a dedicated zoom lens will certainly affect its camera prowess, especially when it gets axed for a practically useless depth sensor. Other downgrades include the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack and the lack of an in-box charger, both of which seem to be a lost cause at this point.
