If you’ve ever owned a Nokia phone back in the day, you probably remember how tough, reliable, and easy to use they were. Now, the name is making a comeback – and this time, it’s all about modern power.
The Nokia N73 5G has officially landed in South Africa, and it’s bringing a lot to the table: a 200MP camera, a vibrant AMOLED screen, 5G speed, and a design that looks and feels premium. All of this, at a price that’s surprisingly reasonable.
Let’s take a closer look at why this new Nokia might be the comeback we didn’t know we needed.
A Sleek, Modern Look
Gone are the days of the old-school keypad. The new Nokia N73 5G has a smooth, all-glass design with slim edges and a large display. It looks stylish and fits comfortably in your hand.
The phone comes in smart, simple colours like Midnight Black and Ice Blue – nothing flashy, just classic Nokia style with a modern twist.
Big, Bright AMOLED Display
The phone features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, which means colours look bright and punchy, blacks are deep, and everything from scrolling to watching videos feels smooth thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate.
It’s a great screen for people who stream shows, scroll through social media, or play games. And yes, it holds up nicely in bright sunlight too.
A Camera That Stands Out – Literally
The biggest talking point? The 200MP main camera. It’s one of the highest-resolution cameras you can get on a phone right now. Whether you’re taking photos of the sunset, snapping a night out with friends, or just capturing moments at home, the detail is impressive.
You also get extra features like night mode, portrait shots, and 4K video recording. On the front, there’s a good-quality selfie camera – perfect for social media, selfies, and video calls.
Fast, Smooth Performance with 5G
Inside, the Nokia N73 5G packs enough power to handle all your daily apps, games, and tasks without lag. Whether you’re browsing the web, switching between apps, or playing games, it keeps things running smoothly.
And with 5G support, you’re ready for faster internet speeds as 5G continues rolling out across South Africa’s major cities.
All-Day Battery Life
Battery life is something Nokia has always been known for – and that hasn’t changed. With a 5000mAh battery, the N73 easily lasts a full day, even with heavy use. And when you need a top-up, it supports fast charging, so you’re not stuck waiting around for hours.
Clean Software and Useful Features
The phone runs a clean version of Android, meaning no clutter or unnecessary apps. It’s easy to use, and you’ll get updates over time to keep things running smoothly.
Other useful features include:
- USB-C charging
- Dual SIM support
- Face unlock and fingerprint sensor
- Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi 6
- Plenty of storage and RAM options
The only thing missing for some might be a headphone jack – but it’s fully ready for Bluetooth earphones and modern audio gear.
How Much Does It Cost in South Africa?
The Nokia N73 5G is expected to launch at around:
- R7,999 to R9,999, depending on the version (RAM and storage)
You can expect to find it on local platforms like Takealot, MTN, Vodacom, and other big-name retailers.
Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?
The Nokia N73 5G isn’t just a name from the past – it’s a solid, modern smartphone with features that genuinely impress for the price. From the sharp display to the huge camera and reliable battery, it hits the sweet spot between performance and value.
If you want a phone that looks great, takes stunning photos, and keeps up with your lifestyle – without costing R15,000 or more – the new Nokia N73 5G is definitely worth a look.
