The future of mobile connectivity is 5G. That said, the perception, especially around new technology, is that it can be expensive if you want to be among the first to experience it. High-end 5G flagship smartphones, for example, can cost more than RM3,000. But that doesn’t always have to be the case because Samsung just released its most affordable 5G smartphone yet, the Galaxy A42 5G.
And the best part? Samsung also designed it around its three important pillars of what makes a good mid-range phone: an incredible screen, an incredible camera, and a long battery life.
Super AMOLED is what you want for a vivid viewing experience
Samsung makes some of the best smartphone displays in the industry. And part of what makes its displays look so good is its exclusive Super AMOLED displays, which also appear on the Galaxy A42 5G. This smartphone has a 6.6 ”Super AMOLED HD + display on the front with really slim bezels.
Its purpose is to provide you with a vivid and uninterrupted viewing experience that will immerse you in whatever content you consume on your mobile device. At 6.6 inches, it gives users plenty of screen real estate to work with, but the slim bezels keep the footprint small so it’s easier to hold in hand.
A high-resolution quad camera for your photographic needs
For photos, you get a 48MP quad camera system on the back of the Galaxy A42 5G. The star of the show is of course the 48MP main camera with an f / 1.8 aperture lens. On top of that, you get an 8MP ultra-wide camera with a 123-degree field of view that is similar to the human eye. That means it will be very useful for group shots or architecture.
On the other hand, a 5MP macro camera gives you those super detailed close-up photos. Finally, there is a 5MP depth sensor to help you take amazing portraits with background blur.
Battery to keep going
One of the most important features of a smartphone, if not the most important, should be the battery. After all, what good is a smartphone if it has no power? In the case of the Galaxy A42 5G, battery life shouldn’t be an issue. Samsung packed a 5,000 mAh large cell in its most affordable 5G smartphone so it has the power to keep up with you.
Furthermore, this phone also supports 15W fast charging, so you can also recharge it in a jiffy. No need to wait hours and hours just to charge your device.
Performance where it matters
Of course, who could forget that at the heart of it all, the Samsung Galaxy A42 5G processor features a Snapdragon 750G 5G processor. This capable mid-range processor is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which is always nice to see. Besides that, if you need more space, you can always add a microSD card; this phone supports up to 1 TB of additional storage.
Samsung also incorporated other useful features such as an AI-based game enhancer to improve gaming performance, as well as biometric authentication with Samsung Knox. This means that you can unlock your smartphone with the on-screen fingerprint scanner or by face unlock.
Leveraging Samsung’s extensive ecosystem, the company can also support the Galaxy A42 5G for Samsung Pay so you can “transform” your smartphone into a credit card. Samsung Pay is accepted at any payment terminal that supports NFC, so you can leave your cards and cash at home and pay with just your phone.
Affordable 5G, capable smartphone
So as you can see, the Galaxy A42 5G is not only Samsung’s most affordable 5G phone, it is also a capable device in its own right. And, for the price of RM1,599, it serves its main purpose well: lowering the barrier of entry today for tomorrow’s technology.
