Samsung Galaxy A42, 5G mobile phone review

  (Rating Hidden)

You may not think of Samsung when you're looking for a cheaper phone with 5G, but the Galaxy A42 is fairly reasonably priced for a handset that's futureproofed for the nationwide rollout. It's missing some of th...

Samsung Galaxy A42 5G review

 

Samsung Galaxy A42 5G is one very odd smartphone. It was touted as the cheapest 5G phone and teased for weeks before its complete specs were finally...

Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Review

 

Millimeter-wave 5G connectivity ; Good battery life ; Two years of OS updates

Lackluster cameras ; Sluggish performance ; Low-resolution display

The Samsung Galaxy A42 supports the fastest connectivity options on Verizon's network, but that isn't enough to make up a low-res display, weak cameras, and lackluster performance.

Samsung Galaxy A42 5G review: stuck in the middle

 

A fine 5G phone, but don't get too excited about mmWave.

Excellent battery life ; Solid OS upgrade and security support timeline ; Support for sub-6 5G including C-band

Busy UI with lots of pre-downloaded apps ; mmWave support isn’t useful for most people ; Screen resolution is low

The Galaxy A42 5G features a big 6.6-inch screen, generous 5,000mAh battery, and 5G support that includes the faster mmWave variety.
