Galaxy A42

Affordable 5G phones have boomed in 2020. Chinese manufacturers are flooding the market. And the Korean Giant, albeit late to the party, also hopped on the train with the Samsung Galaxy A42 5G. A press release unceremoniously announced it in October as the cheapest 5G phone the company makes. We were given the specs, color options, and price, but not the chipset — Samsung being reluctant as ever to reveal the processor.It’s a performance leap over the Galaxy A41 that ran MediaTek Helio P65.  Galaxy A42 5G’s battery capacity is 5000 mAh, up from 3500 mAh, and powers up over 15W. Samsung is also giving you more memory configurations this year — 4/6/8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
