Samsung is known for its massive portfolio
of smartphones. The company offers handsets in every price segment. As 5G is
being deployed around the world, the South Korean tech giant is readying cheap
affordable 5G smartphones. The chaebol has already launched devices like Galaxy
A51 5G and Galaxy A71G but it is not going to stop with them. The Galaxy A42
5G, which came into light last month has been now spotted at China’s 3C
certification bureau.
The upcoming Galaxy A42 5G is expected to
be the cheapest 5G smartphone from the house of Samsung. Its is said to release
sometime in 2021 according to a report by SamMobile. The handset is reported to
arrive with 128GB internal storage in three color options namely Gray, Black,
and White.
Now, the 3C listing of the handset spotted
by 91Mobiles reveals it to feature a 4,860 mAh (rated capacity) battery with
model number EB-BA426ABY. That means the typical value will be 5,000 mAh and
the company will advertise the same, which is lesser than the battery present
in the forthcoming Galaxy M31s.
As per the previous report, the Galaxy A42
will come in both 4G and 5G (SM-A426B ) variants. Since it has been certified
well before its launch schedule of 2021, we can expect Samsung to debut the 4G
variant earlier in countries without 5G infrastructure.
