SAMSUNG GALAXY A42 5G

A midrange phone with a big screen, huge battery, and all kinds of 5G connectivity

A smooth finish with a subtle color gradient gives the Galaxy A42 5G a unique and sophisticated feel. Samsung Galaxy A42 5G is a full mid-range phone. The security of a large 6.6-inch OLED screen, 5,000mAh battery, a quick refresh screen, and a healthy support policy you can get in the next few years. It will provide security updates in the next few years. It also offers an in-display fingerprint sensor for biometric unlocking.

Its battery life is very nice. A power user will definitely get a full day and get a little extra from it and with moderate use, it can be easily extended to two days of charge.

Overall performance from the A42 5G’s Snapdragon 750 processor and 4GB of RAM (there’s a healthy 128GB of storage, too, and it’s expandable via MicroSD) is good for day-to-day tasks. The only slowness I noticed was a little bit of lag starting the camera app, and slight delays using more processing-intensive camera features like portrait mode.

The A42 5G includes a 48-megapixel f/1.8 main rear camera, accompanied by an 8-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor, which is all par for the midrange class. There’s also a 13-megapixel selfie camera around the front.

Fast, reliable, and 5G — what more could you ask for? Galaxy A42 5G features plenty of processing power, 4GB of RAM, plus 128GB of storage, so you can post photos and videos, play games, and chat with minimal lag.

The Galaxy A series uses multilayer Knox security to help protect your data. You may also set the expiration date and expiration date of all shared files through private sharing, revoke access at any moment and ensure that only recipients can open your file and that they cannot send or screenshot it.
