Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy F42 5G 6 GB / 128 GB / India / SM-E426B technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy F42 5G suits anyone looking for a Samsung phone with 5G, a high-density display, and a 64 MP camera. Its 400 ppi pixel density is higher than that of most phones launched around the same time, and its 64 MP camera resolution is also higher than most. The display measures 6.6″, has a resolution of 1080 × 2408 px, and refreshes at 90 Hz. Storage is 128 GB and expandable; this version has 6 GB of RAM, while the phone is also sold with 8 GB of RAM.
There are two clear drawbacks: at 203 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time, and its 15 W charging is slower than that of most. The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh. Overall, the Galaxy F42 5G is typical of phones launched around the same time. Its design and display, performance, camera, connectivity, and battery also land in typical territory. It runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor and Android 11, and pairs its 64 MP camera with a 5 MP ultrawide camera.
Its NeoScore is 5.3. This is a suitable choice for anyone prioritizing 5G, a display with high pixel density, and camera resolution above that of most phones of its time, while accepting greater weight and slower charging.
