What the Critics Are Saying...

- GSMArenaThe Galaxy A42 5G is a cheap 5G mid-ranger, which excels in everything it does - gaming, browsing, multimedia, office apps, and whatnot. It has a large AMOLED screen and a beefy battery to keep whatever you are doing for quite some time. So, yes, the Galaxy A42 5G seems like a great chap.

- Florian Schmitt, NotebookcheckThe Samsung Galaxy A42 5G is a modern mid-range smartphone with a low-resolution screen. For Samsung fans, the Galaxy A42 offers significant improvements compared to its predecessor, but those who want to get as much as possible for their money are still better off with other manufacturers.

- OhsemGet it if you’re looking for an upgrade. Get it if you’re into gaming too. Another reason to get it is because of the 5G. This is the future network speed so I consider this phone to be future proof. But we just have to wait for the 5G to be fully launched here in Malaysia.

- Abel Wong, TechNaveThe Galaxy A42 5G uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 750G chipset and is the first phone in Samsung's lineup to use it. Besides the built-in 5G connectivity, the chipset's performance is more than enough for a casual user. If you like to play mobile games, this phone has the capability of handling that too....
