We have already seen affordable 5G smartphones from Xiaomi, Moto, and Realme over the past few months. And today, Samsung has also joined the fray with the unveiling of the Galaxy M42 5G in India. It is a rebranded version of the Galaxy A42 5G, which was launched in global markets earlier last year.
Starting off with the design, the Galaxy M42 5G features a layered gradient pattern on the glasstic back panel. The iridescence increases as we travel towards the bottom. You have a square quad-camera module on the rear as well. It includes a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 5MP macro lens, and a 5MP depth sensor.
Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 750G chipset – the same as the Mi 10i. You will also find 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card) onboard. The Galaxy M42 5G also equips a massive 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging support. It runs Android 11-based OneUI 3.1 out-of-the-box.
