introduction

The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G is a very strange smartphone. Touted as the cheapest 5G phone, it was teased for weeks before finally releasing its full specs. And it turns out that the A42 has gotten significantly larger since its compact predecessors, the A40 and A41. Not only that, this new Galaxy A42 5G is also shaping up to be an excellent gaming device with a fairly large battery. Yes, the Galaxy A42 5G is weird, but in a good way.

The Galaxy A42 5G doesn’t deviate from the beautiful design we saw on the Galaxy A41 and comes with an even more glamorous Prism Dot look. But it’s bigger now that Samsung has opted for a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED screen this time. It may be bigger, but the resolution has dropped to HD+, which can get an instant “ew,” but bear with us for a moment.

The latest mid-range Galaxy is powered by the 5G-capable Snapdragon 750 chip, which is a real powerhouse. And with that momentum under that HD+ display, we’re seeing flagship-level performance in gaming.

Then there’s the beefy 5,000mAh battery that can last those gaming sessions for quite a while. The older A41 and A40 passed the battery life test with significantly smaller batteries, so we have high expectations for this one.

The Galaxy A42 5G borrows the camera setup from the Galaxy A41 and adds an additional 5MP depth sensor. That means you’d find a familiar arrangement on the back – a 48-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide shooter, a 5-megapixel macro snapper, and the new depth sensor. The front camera is on par with the old ones – a 20MP f/2.2 imager.

The A42 doesn’t lose anything since the A41 – it still offers a 3.5mm jack, an FM radio, a microSD slot and many will appreciate the doubled storage space of 128GB, UFS2.1.

Now let’s take a look at the data sheet.

Samsung Galaxy A42 5G specifications at a glance:

  • Body: 164.4 x 75.9 x 8.6mm, 193g; Plastic body.
  • Advertisement: 6.60″ Super AMOLED, resolution 720x1600px, aspect ratio 20:9, 266ppi.
  • chipset: Qualcomm SM7225 Snapdragon 750 5G (8 nm): Octa-Core (2 x 2.2 GHz Kryo 570 & 6 x 1.8 GHz Kryo 570); Adreno 619.
  • Reminder: 128GB 4GB RAM, 128GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM; UFS 2.1; microSDXC (uses shared SIM slot).
  • Operating system/software: Android 10, OneUI 2.5.
  • Backup camera: wide (main): 48 MP, f/1.8, 1/2.0″, 0.8 µm, PDAF; ultra wide angle: 8MP, f/2.2, 123˚; macro: 5MP, f/2.4; depth: 5MP, f/2.4 aperture.
  • Front camera: 20MP, f/2.2, (wide).
  • Video recording: backup camera: 4K at 30 fps, 1080p at 30 fps, 720p at 480 fps; Front camera: 1080p@30fps.
  • Battery: 5000mAh; Fast charge 15W.
  • Various: fingerprint reader (under the display, optical); NFC; 3.5mm jack.

There’s only one thing we wished for more in such a gaming-oriented smartphone, and that’s a stereo speaker setup. We know it’s a €299 phone with 5G and all, but when you see Poco throwing in some excellent speakers, it’s not that far-fetched to wish for, is it?

Anyway, we can’t wait to put this phone through its paces. So, without further ado, here is the Galaxy A42 5G unboxed.

Unboxing the Galaxy A42 5G

The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G is packed in a compact paper box. The package includes a 15W charger, a USB-C cable, and cheap-looking headphones with a mic.

Also included in the box is a protective silicone sleeve hidden in the paper compartment that is somewhat stuck in the paper lid.

Moto Z3 review

Source: Moto Z3 review introduction Motorola has launched a new member of the Moto Z series – the Moto Z3. However, the actual announcement raised a lot of eyebrows and made us wonder if the Moto Z3 is more of a refresh of the Z2 than a true successor. The most notable change to the Moto Z3 is the addition of a larger 6-inch Super AMOLED display, a frame-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a fresh new glossy finish around the frame and on the pretty rear window. None of these features were a mystery, however, as the Moto Z3 Play shares exactly the same design cues. Interestingly, Motorola didn’t bother to mention its “Force” branding, which was synonymous with the Moto Z2 when it was launched and was marketed as a shatterproof smartphone. Fragment protection has gone out of the window on Motorola, likely due to the soft plastic display, which was super easy to scratch on the Z2.
