Among the three smartphones in the Samsung Galaxy A Series launched earlier this month, the Galaxy A73 5G is the “final boss” and has received high praise from tech enthusiasts. With the Snapdragon 778G chip, the Galaxy A73 5G can be considered a smartphone suitable for gamers. Moreover, it is significantly more affordable than the flagship Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G.
However, most users, especially gamers, certainly want to see real-life experience images of this Galaxy A73 5G smartphone with popular games, especially with 5G connectivity. Therefore, we will “test the waters” with the Galaxy A73 5G using two currently popular mobile games: PUBG Mobile and League of Legends: Wild Rift.
Can the Galaxy A73 5G handle these two hot titles?
Handling Experience
The first advantage of the Galaxy A73 5G is its matte design, similar to other Galaxy A Series phones and the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G. Additionally, like other smartphones released earlier in 2022, the Galaxy A73 5G also features rounded corners. This advantage allows users to use this phone for extended periods without discomfort or strain on the hands. The Galaxy A73 5G has a moderate size of 163.7 x 76.1 x 7.6, making it suitable for the hands of most gamers, including women.
The device weighs 181 grams, which prevents gamers from feeling weighed down when playing for long periods. Especially for those who play games or watch movies lying down, if the phone accidentally falls on their face, it won’t cause significant damage.
Graphics and Sound Experience
With a mid-range device, the main limitation of the Galaxy A73 5G is that it cannot run PUBG Mobile at max settings. However, at the Ultra High graphics setting (PUBG Mobile) and 60 FPS (League of Legends: Wild Rift), players can enjoy a decent visual experience thanks to the Super AMOLED Plus display technology and Full HD+ resolution. Furthermore, when playing outdoors at the highest light setting, players do not experience glare.
The images are bright and sharp, which is a plus for this smartphone. The Dolby Atmos technology provides a realistic audio experience, but it might be a bit quiet if your fingers cover the speakers while gaming. Therefore, it is recommended to use headphones for a better experience.
Graphics settings at the highest levels for both games
Another advantage of the Galaxy A73 5G is its effective integration of 5G technology while gaming. The FPS remains stable without any stuttering or lag.
Experience After One Match of PUBG Mobile and One Match of League of Legends: Wild Rift
The device feels slightly warm, but it is entirely acceptable. Equipped with a 5000 mAh battery, the Galaxy A73 5G is more than capable of allowing users, especially gamers, to experience it all day while still having enough battery for other tasks. After about 30 minutes of gaming, the battery only dropped by approximately 10%.
Specifically for League of Legends: Wild Rift, the FPS remains stable without any drops, even when experienced with 5G connectivity. This will help gamers avoid lag issues during intense battles. In MOBA games, every combat decision can significantly impact the outcome of the match.
Conclusion
The Galaxy A73 5G smartphone can be considered a solid choice for mid-range users, especially gamers who enjoy the latest hot titles but cannot afford expensive flagship models. The current price of the Galaxy A73 5G is about 12 million VND. However, given what this smartphone offers, it can be considered a reasonable price, well worth the experience.
