Fingerprint sensor very bad! very slow and often it doesn't work. Sound is also bad! overall camera is fine but not excellent!
My suggestion is not to buy this phone. Huawei P10 was much better according to my experience.

I bought this phone in the last week of July 2021. The phone has a good battery size, display and speed is amazing. I loved the looks of the phone but it keeps freezing from time to time and the mic + speakers used to stop working so I had to restart the phone every time.

Super long standby time. At least future proof for 5G. Don't be fooled by the "HD Only" display. It's barely noticeable and is a vwry good tradeoff with the long standby time. Great phone indeed.

It is not fast charging. It takes 2hours to fully charge. I expect more for the camera but it is not good enough. This is not what I expect for Samsung. Buying Samsung, you are just paying for the name not the quality. Not pleased with this.

amoled plus 128 GB and 5g at a sales price under 300, from Samsung taking the leap. Presently using moto power but after a year the battery is starting to run out fast.

I bought the A42 5G about 3 weeks ago. Absolutely love it! The display is great, the overall performance is also great as is the battery life. It also came with Android 11. The fingerprint scanner also works great. And it has 128GB of memory. I use AT&T prepaid ($30/month plan) and never plan to use 5G. Also, I don't use my phone a lot, mainly for phone calls, so I don't take pictures or videos with it, use it to play games, etc. If I want to do those things I use a "real" camera or my 12" tablet which has a much larger screen. But just in case I need to take a picture, or check my email or get/send a text, I have the phone. This model replaces my 4 year old ZTE Blade Spark that had only 16GB of memory. I can now load a few more apps because of the 128GB of main memory. If you're the type of person that "lives" with your phone, this model may not be for you, but for me it is just great!

There is a problem with the up and down volume buttons, they seem to hang up or freeze. Anyone with the same problem as mine?

720p on 6.6in display w/60hz refresh rate = great battery life. 750G SoC = great performance.

I never had so much problems with a brand new phone and never needed to call the manufacturer. I have bought Samsung products in the past and I have found them unreliable

Battery life far exceeds what I was getting on my S20 FE. Camera seems very good, too. Great colours and details. Screen is great, despite the lower resolution. I got it on Amazon Germany for £235. In the UK, it would have cost me £319. I'm very happy with it.

Anonymous, 30 Apr 2021People honestly don't get the A42 5G for the 5G. Nobody cares about the 5G. It's bud... moreMy sole problem with the A4x is that they started the line at AMOLED 1080p
Then by the time the A42 5G appeared it sprouted to 6.6" at 720p with its particularly low 266ppi all in the aid of 5G.
Technically spec for spec, the "A32 4G" is actually the hidden yet true successor to the 6.1" A41...
