Based on Samsung Malaysia. It's quite certain to say that Singapore's A73 5G shall get the Android 13 during the month of December 2022 which is next month.

So, I guess we will not be getting Android 12 updates anymore from now onwards until we get the Android 13.

Our last Android 12 update was way back in early August!

How's battery life on the A73? My S10+ battery life is getting worse and thinking of "upgrading" to the A73

 

[kelvinti]

You know! I don't talk about battery life too much coz it is a very subjective matter and depending on your usages.

I don't play game on mobile phone. I usually use it for normal the usual social apps, video, YouTube and music! So, to me the 5000mha battery life is super good !

As for your S10...so old already! Its battery is losing it power already for sure! . It's time to buy A73 5G!

Other brands also does this?

 

[fitzz82]

are you looking for someone to represent as all the mobile makers and resellers to give you an answer for this?

as you know apple sets now are cheaper than RRP as well.

of course it doesnt applies to products which was just launch..

example estimated jan 2023 coming out s23, obviously somewhere near end jan 23, the price is still at retail price.

but fast forward to mar / apr 2023 onwards, the prices at others retailers will drop.

you just go in shopee and search or search redwhite mobile / kasia / mobile square on the internet.

Ya.. I also wonder y their price can be few hundred lower than official store..

Later time I thought their phone maybe is from buying from people that Re-contract with telco..

If samsung store sell cheaper than outside shop, then who will buy from outside shop?
Then outside shop will not sell samsung phone loh, and will not order stock also.

So Samsung depends on outside shop to sell their phones than their own shops uh..

So their Samsung shops in the mall is just for presence?

Its all abt marketing tactics and strategies.

All the ultra rich will go ulu shop to buy? Or buy from samsung?

The IT otaku whom want new phonr on launch day buy from who? Samsung loh.

The common folks like us, whom need to find cheap deals? Wait a while then source online and buy from the cheapest source loh.

There is no right or wrong. This is how the world turn and works

If the past is a mirror to the future, Samsung will restrict something on the A74 that will make it worse than the current model. Like the A52 vs the A53 etc.
