The Samsung Galaxy M42 5G is a solid mid-range contender, boasting an impressive array of features. Its 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with HD+ resolution ensures vibrant visuals and decent screen real estate for a range of activities, from multimedia consumption to gaming.

Camera enthusiasts will appreciate the versatile quad-camera setup, featuring a 48-megapixel primary camera, along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 5-megapixel depth sensor, and a 5-megapixel macro lens. The 20-megapixel front camera captures sharp selfies.

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G 5G processor, this device ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks and even moderate gaming. The option of 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM provides flexibility for users based on their multitasking needs.

With 128 GB of storage, users have ample space for their apps, media, and files. The 5,000mAh battery, coupled with 15 W fast charging, might not be the fastest in its class, but it promises reliable all-day usage.

Running on Android 11, the device offers a familiar and intuitive user interface. The on-display fingerprint sensor adds a modern touch, while its dustproof and water-resistant design enhances durability.

However, the 15 W fast charging might be a downside for users accustomed to speedier charging technologies found in competing devices. Overall, the Galaxy M42 5G SM-M426B presents a balanced package, excelling in various aspects and catering well to mid-range smartphone users.
