Samsung Galaxy A42 4G/5G



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.
