As far as price is concerned, the phone is rumored to fall between Rs. 20,000 - Rs. 25,000. If this appears to be true, the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G will compete against the Mi 10i which also runs the same Snapdragon 750G chipset. However, the Mi 10i has a 108MP quad rear camera setup which is the plus point for the handset.
