The only thing this Samsung rep is interested in is selling you another phone so they can get another commission for their next meal ticket.

Dio, 30 May 2023So im guessing that this model wont get the 13 android ? If that's the case foe the international version of the a42 5g then Samsung should just come out and say so instead of lying to people by telling them A series models get 3 OS updates and 4 years of security updates when clearly they don't.

I'm pretty sure all variants of the a42 5g use the snapdragon 750g SoC so chances are this Samsung representative has no idea what they're talking about. If my galaxy tab a7 lite with it's helio p22t SoC( which is miles weaker than the a42) then I don't understand how "my Galaxy A42 5G could not keep up with this latest software update"

Anonymous, 27 May 2023When will the international version (sm-a426b) get android 13? Will it even get android 13?I've just been talking to Samsung support about this question, since it's seems to be the only A42 5G variant not to receive the ONE UI 5.0/1 update. And this was their some what stock copy and paste response...
Thank you for patiently waiting, Sarah. As per checking here in my end the update releases by batches. I understand Sarah, that you want your device to be updated in the latest software update. However, the latest software demands high processing capabilities for its installed processor. And at the moment, the processor installed within your Galaxy A42 5G could not keep up with this latest software update. Thus, the reason why, the current running software version is the most compatible with the said device. How about this, will you allow me to create a Samsung case for you? So, that I can check other options available aside from forcing an update of the software.

Awesome phone! Have been using it for nearly three years and so far haven't experienced any hiccups. Battery still lasts for over a day with normal use. A true workhorse from Samsung!

My wife and I both went from Galaxy Note4's to this A425G. First my wife. Hers was new from a Verizon vendor (uggh!). One of our grandkids dunked her phone in about 4" of water and that destroyed her phone. We had insurance and got a replacement. Her replacement phone is doing very well now. This phone has all the best of the Android OS that we like, even though it has no water rating. A few months later, I bought a "refurb" of the same model, A42 5G, at a popular online retailer. Transferred all my stuff from the Note4, and it was going well. Then my phone was swiped off a coffee table by one of my grandkids, the phone landed cleanly on it's backside, on carpet, and that caused the phone touch screen to be unresponsive and after two days of research and trying everything, there is nothing I can do about it except get a replacement. Oh, yes, the phone was in a good protective case. I hope the replacement lasts, because this phone is otherwise very good and the battery life is excellent. Just a warning to be wary if you get a refurb, because it might be the one I'm returning! Maybe I'll scratch a small "x" on the back of the phone so others can beware?

I used this phone for a few months, it's very slow and 720 is not good as well, the finger print is very poor

Got the phone for free.
Previous phone was a Xiaomi redmi 5 plus also for free.
Going from 1080 to 720 is noticeable dont lie to urself but colours are more nicer here.
My psvita uses a samsung oled panel and that thing still looks good today despite being a decade old and 540p.
This thing got 8gb ram no performance issue here.

SD750G
8GB of RAM
60Hz HD display so there's no point in having the powerful chip 🤡
I'm glad they're over the trash mid-rangers phase.
