The 'Galaxy A73 5G' is a device that is positioned as the flagship model of Samsung's A series, with a large AMOLED display already hinting at its possibilities. Sure enough, the camera packs a pleasant surprise in the fact that it has a 108-megapixel primary camera with optical image stabilization and an F1.8 aperture, making it effectively a carbon copy of the premium '[Galaxy S22 Ultra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s22).' Set to be released in select markets, the 'Galaxy A73 5G' appears to be targeted to smartphone customers who might value camera specs more than other features.
