New Samsung Galaxy A42 is one very weird smartphone! It was promoted as the least expensive 5G telephone and prodded for quite a long time before its total specs were at last out. Galaxy A42 made quite a better success than its predecessors(A4O and A41). On top of all, this phone is also a great gaming device with a pretty large battery. So yes Samsung Galaxy A42 is very weird but in the best way!

The display has an aspect ratio of 20:9 and it has 266 PPI pixel density due to low resolution. The screen-to-body ratio of this phone is 84.3%, great for this price! If you drop your phone frequently, think twice before buying this one since it doesn’t have any kind of protection.

It comes with 4GB / 6GB / 8GB of RAM, so the multitasking won’t be a problem. When it comes to storage you can only go with 128GB but that is not the problem since you can expand it through a micro SD card.

Battery Life

The Samsung Galaxy A42 has a huge 5000 mAh Li-Po battery. This cell phone upholds 15W quick charging, which means this phone will recharge from 0%-100% in around 1.5 hours. It doesn’t uphold any kind of wireless or converse charging.
