Samsung Galaxy F42 5G Review

,Samsung Galaxy F42 5G: Design ,The Galaxy F42 5G has joined Samsung’s affordable 5G lineup. The device is launched with a tall 6.60-inch FHD+ display which has a waterdrop notch and a thick chin bezel. The device offers 1080 x 2408 pixels screen resolution and a standard 6Hz refresh rate. This panel is suitable to play high-resolution videos both online and offline. The Galaxy F42 5G has a matte-textured rear panel which is unlike most of the budget phones in the market. The back panel features a square-shaped camera module on the top-left housing three sensors and an LED flash.  The matte texture makes the device fingerprint and smudge resistant. ,  ,Samsung Galaxy F42 5G: Hardware Performance ,The Samsung Galaxy F42 5G is driven by the Dimensity 700 processor. This MediaTek processor has octa-core and 5G network connectivity support and is designed for affordable smartphones. This chipset can handle most of the tasks such as media playback, web surfing, and occasional gaming without any difficulties. But extensive gaming might not be a smooth experience. The multitasking experience with the Galaxy F42 5G will be decent. You can select from 6GB RAM and 8GB RAM options both of which will allow a faster app loading and switching between multiple of them running in the background. The storage option is single, i.e, 128GB. You can also use an additional microSD card if this isn’t sufficient. ,  ,Samsung Galaxy F42 5G: Price To Specs Ratio ,The Samsung Galaxy F42 5G is a bit expensive when you compare it with other Dimensity 700 powered Chinese smartphones. The base model which has 6GB RAM and 128GB storage option can be purchased at Rs. 20,999. On the other hand, the Galaxy F42 5G with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage option can be purchased at Rs. 22,999. The color options launched are Mate Black and Matte Blue. ,  ,Samsung Galaxy F42 5G: Important/ Highlight Features ,The Samsung Galaxy F42 5G’s optics are handled by a triple-camera module at the rear. The setup includes a 64MP main lens which is combined with a 5MP macro shooter and a 2MP depth lens. The Galaxy F42 5G will be able to capture images with good levels of detail. The camera will perform well in daylight. The additional sensors will enhance the imaging experience. To capture selfies and for video calling, the Galaxy F42 5G uses an 8MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture. ,  ,Samsung Galaxy F42 5G: Important/ Highlight Features ,The Samsung Galaxy F42 5G’s remaining highlight features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security and Android 11 OS. The device has a custom OneUI interface pre-installed. The handset gets its fuel via a 5,000 mAh battery which can deliver a backup of around a day with basic usage. The fast charging here is 15W. ,  ,Samsung Galaxy F42 5G: Verdict ,The Samsung Galaxy F42 5G has been launched as an affordable 5G phone. But, its pricing is comparatively higher than its Chinese counterparts. The company hasn’t really compromised with the hardware but a lower price tag would have been a perfect deal. Nevertheless, you get a good display, a decent camera, and a big battery that makes it a complete package.

Pros

  • 6.67-inch 1080p FHD+ display

  • 64MP triple rear cameras with dedicated night mode

  • Big 5,000 mAh battery

Cons

  • Fast charging capacity is only 15W

  • Slightly costly compared to Chinese counterparts
