Samsung is expanding its 5G portfolio with a new phone called the Galaxy A42 5G. In a somewhat strange announcement, the company shared images of the phone, but only some of its specifications with a promise to deliver the rest later.

The Galaxy A42 5G is built around a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED, and while we didn’t get the panel resolution, the A41 already has a 1080p display, so anything else would be a surprise. The under-display fingerprint sensor will no doubt carry over too along with the waterdrop notch for the selfie camera on top.
There are four more cameras on the back, which is one more than what the A31 offers, but we didn’t get any details on their purpose or the exact modules used. However, the small lens in the lower right clearly suggests that it is a depth sensor.
The last part we can deduce comes from the name: the Galaxy A42 5G should be cheaper than the current most affordable Samsung phone with next-generation network support – the Galaxy A51 5G. Of course, it is too early to speculate on specific numbers.

Full details of the Galaxy A42 5G will be revealed “closer to its launch later this year.” The Galaxy A40 and Galaxy A41 arrived in March, but this time Samsung is clearly breaking the 12-month cycle.
