Review

The Samsung Galaxy F42 5G is a mid-range smartphone that offers several features tailored for budget-conscious consumers looking for 5G connectivity.

Key Features

Display: The phone features a 6.6-inch FHD+ TFT LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate. While it offers decent brightness and color reproduction for everyday use, the choice of an LCD over an AMOLED panel might be disappointing for some users given the price point

Performance: Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor, the Galaxy F42 5G handles most tasks smoothly, including casual gaming and media consumption. The device runs on One UI 3.1 based on Android 11, providing a user-friendly and feature-rich experience

Cameras: The phone has a triple camera setup on the rear, including a 64MP main sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. While the main camera performs well in good lighting, low-light performance is lacking. The 8MP front camera is adequate for selfies and video calls

Battery: The Galaxy F42 5G is equipped with a 5000mAh battery, which offers good endurance for daily usage. However, the 15W fast charging is relatively slow, taking over two hours to fully charge the device

Connectivity and Other Features: The phone supports 12 5G bands, ensuring compatibility with upcoming 5G networks. It also includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port. However, it lacks NFC and stereo speakers, which might be a drawback for some users
