If you’re still rocking a Samsung Galaxy A73, you’re about to get some amazing news. Your phone isn’t old news yet—it’s getting the next big thing! We just found out the Samsung Galaxy A73 has been spotted running Android 16. Yes, really.
This is a huge relief for a lot of us. After Samsung decided not to make an A74, many people worried the A73 would be forgotten. But the company has been busy uploading the first test builds of One UI 8 for the phone. This is a clear sign that they haven’t given up on it.
A Closer Look at the Samsung Galaxy A73 Android 16 Update
A recent test on Geekbench showed the A73 is already handling the new software well. It scored 1022 in the single-core test and 3081 in the multi-core test. These are solid numbers for such an early version of the operating system.
Now, while the A73 isn’t on the first list to get the One UI 8 beta, it’s pretty much a guarantee that the official update will arrive before the end of the year. This is great for a phone that’s already feeling like new with One UI 7. The next update will just make it even better.
The phone’s powerful Snapdragon chip is a big reason for its long life. That’s why it’s still able to handle these major software updates. When the final, stable version of Android 16 comes out, you can expect an even smoother and more reliable experience.
It’s crazy how fast things move. While we’re all looking forward to Android 16, Google is already on to the next thing. They’ve given Android 17 a fun codename: “Cinnamon Bun.” It just goes to show that there’s always something new around the corner in the world of tech!
