Unlocked mid-range phone for everyday use

The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ships new and fully unlocked so it works on any compatible carrier. It runs Android 10 out of the box and can be upgraded to Android 13 with One UI 5. A Snapdragon 750 5G octa-core processor at 2.2 GHz drives the experience.

6.6 inch Super AMOLED display and 128 GB storage

The 6.6 inch Super AMOLED panel shows 720 x 1600 pixels at roughly 84.3 percent screen-to-body ratio. Internal flash storage is 128 GB paired with 4 GB of RAM for apps and media. Buyers who want a higher resolution screen or more than 128 GB of built-in storage should consider other models.

Quad rear camera with 48 MP main sensor

The rear array combines a 48 MP f/1.8 wide lens with an 8 MP f/2.2 ultrawide at 123 degrees a 5 MP f/2.4 depth sensor and a 5 MP f/2.4 macro module. A 20 MP f/2.2 front camera handles selfies. If a versatile multi-lens camera system is the deciding factor this specification is the one to evaluate.

Questions about this item

Does the 6.6-inch Super AMOLED screen need a specific case cut-out for the front camera?

The 20 MP front camera sits in a small notch at the top of the 6.6-inch display, so any case must leave that area uncovered for selfies and face unlock.

What is the correct way to insert the nano-SIM and microSD cards into the hybrid tray?

The tray accepts either two nano-SIMs or one nano-SIM plus a microSD card; place the SIM with gold contacts facing down and the notched corner aligned, then push the tray in until it clicks.

When should the 5000 mAh battery be replaced, and can I do it myself?

Expect the battery to hold a full day’s charge for roughly two years; replacement requires heating the back glass and disconnecting flex cables, so a repair shop is recommended.
