Comparisons Featuring Lava A73
Short Review
- The Lava A73 features a compact design with dimensions of 145.5 x 72.8 x 9.3 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 5.0-inch TN display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in sharpness.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU paired with 1GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking but may struggle with demanding applications.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of 720p video recording at 30fps, while the front-facing camera also has a 5 MP sensor for selfies.
- The device is powered by a 2000 mAh battery, which does not support fast charging or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is basic and lacks the latest features found in newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and includes a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Lava A73 is a straightforward device with essential features for everyday use.
- Its design and build quality are adequate, but it lacks advanced capabilities seen in more modern smartphones.
