Samsung Galaxy A42: Device Overview

Samsung has been releasing phones left, right, and center these past few months in the hope of capturing the smartphone monopoly that it once used to have in countries such as Europe and India. Their latest release is the Samsung Galaxy A42 which brings some very unique characteristics to the board and is aimed at a very specific audience in mind. The Galaxy A42 is a 5G-enabled phone that was announced on September 2 of 2020 and is being sold in the European market for a price tag of €369.

It has a large footprint with a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display to the front. The display has very tiny bezels to the sides with a slightly more pronounced chin. It also makes space for the front-facing 20-megapixel camera in a subtle U-shaped waterdrop notch. The back panel of the Galaxy A42 has a refreshing and unique look to it with a camera bump that is home to the quad-camera sensor.

The rear camera bump features the main 48-megapixel sensor alongside an 8MP ultrawide lens, a 5MP depth sensor, and another 5MP macro camera. This camera setup basically covers most of the shooting scenarios and should suit well for people who like capturing a lot of photos. The processor onboard is speculated to be the new Snapdragon 690 SoC and the phone is backed up by 4GB of RAM. The Galaxy A42 also comes with a mammoth 5000 mAh battery with fast charging capabilities.
