When was the Samsung Galaxy A42 5G launched in India?

Samsung officially introduced the Galaxy M42 5G, which is the rebranded Samsung Galaxy A42 5G, in April 2021. It arrived as a significant addition to the M-series, marking the first time the brand brought 5G capabilities to this specific line of smartphones in the country.

The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G (rebranded as the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G) entered the market with a starting price of Rs. 21,999 for the 6GB variant. The 8GB version cost Rs. 23,999. These prices positions the device, originally known as the Samsung Galaxy A42 5G abroad, as an affordable option for those wanting to access 5G speeds.

This smartphone, rebranded as the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G, comes in Prism Dot Black and Prism Dot Gray. Both variants feature 128GB of internal storage. Users can select between 6GB and 8GB RAM options to ensure the device meets their personal requirements for speed and multitasking efficiency.

The device, rebranded as the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G, carries a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-U display. This screen technology provides deep blacks and vibrant colours for a better viewing experience. This panel is the same as the one found on the Samsung Galaxy A42 5G, providing a large and clear area for all digital content.

The rear setup includes 48MP primary, 8MP ultra-wide, 5MP macro, and 5MP depth sensors. A 20MP front camera captures sharp selfies. These lenses allow for versatile photography, and support features like 4K video recording for high-quality home movies.

The smartphone features a standard 60 Hz refresh rate. This frequency ensures stable visuals while playing videos or scrolling through apps. It also helps the 5,000 mAh battery last longer by reducing the power consumption often associated with the high-refresh-rate screens found on more expensive models.

This smartphone provides either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. This memory capacity ensures that the phone operates smoothly even when multiple applications run in the background. It allows for quick switching between tasks without any noticeable lag or delay in the interface.

The device offers 128GB of internal storage for apps and media. A hybrid slot allows for expansion up to 1TB using a microSD card. This generous storage capacity ensures that the smartphone has enough room for all your files.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G 5G octa-core processor powers this smartphone. This chipset provides the necessary strength for high-speed gaming and 5G connectivity. The device ensures consistent performance for all users during their daily mobile activities.
