Samsung reportedly killed yet another smartphone which could be named Galaxy A74 5G because…? There’s not just a single reason for strategy changes, the decision seems pre-decided as Samsung always neglected Galaxy A7x smartphones as compared to the Galaxy A5x.

No doubt, the Galaxy A7x lineup of smartphones is more premium than the Galaxy A5x, but still, it got neglected by Samsung, and no one knows why. The company offers monthly security updates to the Galaxy A5x phones, but the Galaxy A7x are listed in the quarterly schedule, looks funny!

Follow Sammy Fans on Google News

The Galaxy A7x became an “experiment smartphone lineup” for Samsung, for instance, Galaxy A72 was the first mid-ranger to use Telephoto lens, and the Galaxy A73 was the first to get a 108MP camera sensor. Introduced with A72, the telephoto sensor didn’t continue with its sequel.

Not that all, the Korean tech giant brought LTE, 5G and “s” variants of the Galaxy A52 smartphone, but the Galaxy A72 was not even featured 5G connectivity. Due to network compatibility, the Galaxy A72 utilized a downgraded processor compared to its younger sibling, and eventually, the A7x is dead.

The death of the Galaxy A7x seems pre-planned as Samsung started to streamline the Galaxy A5x phones. Let’s have a quick comparison of key specs:

Galaxy A51 vs Galaxy A71

  • A71 had the lead

Display

Samsung Galaxy A51 brought 6.5″ Super AMOLED display, while the Galaxy A71 had an enhanced and larger 6.7″ Super AMOLED Plus display. Both devices feature the same 1080 x 2400 pixels display resolution along with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

Camera

The Galaxy A51 packs a 48MP primary camera sensor, while the Galaxy A71 has an upgraded 64MP main camera. Other than main sensors, all other cameras of the A51 and A71 are the same including 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro, 5MP depth and 32MP selfie shooter.

Processor

In AP department, the Galaxy A51 uses 10nm process based Exynos 9611 chipset [Octa-core (4×2.3 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4×1.7 GHz Cortex-A53) and Mali-G72 MP3 GPU] while the Galaxy A71 has 8nm-based Snapdragon 730 processor [Octa-core (2×2.2 GHz Kryo 470 Gold & 6×1.8 GHz Kryo 470 Silver) and Adreno 618 GPU].

Galaxy A52 5G vs Galaxy A72

  • And the destruction of A7x begins here!

Display

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G brings 6.5″ Super AMOED display with HDR 10+ support and 120Hz display. On the flip side, the Galaxy A72 used a larger 6.7″ Super AMOLED screen with 90Hz refresh rate and no support for the HDR10+ feature. Both have Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection and 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution.

Camera

Samsung again experimented on the Galaxy A72 by bringing an 8MP telephoto sensor (depth sensor ditched) for the first time in a non-flagship device. Other camera specs include 64MP main camera, 5MP macro camera and 5MP depth lens (A52 only) along with a 32MP selfie shooter.

Processor

The Galaxy A52 5G comes with Snapdragon 750G processor [Octa-core (2×2.2 GHz Kryo 570 & 6×1.8 GHz Kryo 570) and Adreno 619 GPU], while the Galaxy A72 uses Snapdragon 720G processor [Octa-core (2×2.3 GHz Kryo 465 Gold & 6×1.8 GHz Kryo 465 Silver) and Adreno 618 GPU].

Samsung Galaxy A7x experiment

Galaxy A53 vs Galaxy A73

  • Destruction of A7x continued with A73

Display

With the Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A73 smartphones, Samsung greatly reduced the difference in displays. The former features a 6.5″ Super AMOLED panel, and the latter features a 6.7″ Super AMOLED Plus screen. Other specs remain the same; 120Hz refresh rate, 800 nits brightness, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

Camera

In the Camera department, the Galaxy A73 faced radical changes including the arrival of 108MP main camera and the comeback of the depth sensor by ditching telephoto. The Galaxy A53 camera specs are quite similar to its predecessor, check camera specs of both phones below.

Galaxy A53 5G:

  • 64 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), 1/1.7X”, 0.8µm, PDAF, OIS
  • 12 MP, f/2.2, 123˚ (ultrawide), 1.12µm
  • 5 MP, f/2.4, (macro)
  • 5 MP, f/2.4, (depth)

Galaxy A73 5G:

  • 108 MP, f/1.8, (wide), PDAF, OIS
  • 12 MP, f/2.2, (ultrawide)
  • 5 MP, f/2.4, (macro)
  • 5 MP, f/2.4, (depth)

Processor

The Galaxy A53 5G is equipped with 5nm-based Exynos 1280 (5 nm) application processor [Octa-core (2×2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 & 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) and Mali-G68 GPU].

On the flip side, the Galaxy A73 5G has 6nm-based Snapdragon 778G 5G chip [Octa-core (1×2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 & 3×2.2 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4×1.9 GHz Cortex-A55)  and Adreno 642L GPU].

Experiment failed, device dead

And finally, it looks like Samsung has done with its experiment on the Galaxy A7x series and found it unnecessary. The Galaxy S22 FE is reportedly dead, but rumors claimed that it’s still alive and coming at the Unpacked part 2 in the place of the Galaxy A74 smartphone.
