Samsung galaxy phones are the best!

I have a galaxy a 42 and I use it for watching my shows or movies when I'm not at home ,I use it to play games , really anything I use it for its fast ,quality is amazing 99% of time I have no issues ..that 1% is when I'm searching for something and it takes a second to load but that's usually a wifi issue ..I gave my son my old galaxy s9 he has had it for about 2yrs and he mainly uses it for YouTube and game but still works great aswell....galaxy series is my must-have phone .

Samsung A42 is great for holding lots of data.

I use my phone for work, and personal. I stream YouTube all day long and am able to operate 6 different email accounts with ease. As with any samsung I have had rhe battery does not last long with constant operation. It does have issues switching from wifi to data at times, which can be a nuisance. Overall not a bad phone for the standard user.

A42 5G has good battery life

I love all my Samsung phones. Throughout the years, I have my fair share of Samsung phones: Galaxy S, Sii, S3, S4, S7, S8 edge, S9, Note 5, A32, A23, A42.. I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised that the A42 outperformed my expectation. Being an A series, I thought this phone will not have advanced features and performance comparing to the S series. I was wrong. The battery life of the A42 was outstanding. I can be on the phone browsing my internet for 5 min and the battery gauge still show 100%. Besides having great battery life, the A42 is 5G capable and is running the latest Android 13 with all the enhanced features such as Modes and Routines, secured folder which I use to keep my work and sensitive information private and secured. Overall, I give the A42 an A+.

I have one that's unlocked

I use it as a backup phone to T-Mobile on my plan and it does better at picking up service it's an unlocked phone and it picks up better than my locked T-Mobile s22 Ultra because of all the junk the T-Mobile has on the s22 I really like the smaller phone and everything because it has better cell service

Great Product

I have had my A51 5g device for well over two years and it still works great. The battery life though as expected is wearing downland I now need to recharge the device more often. I have had no memory or bug issues and the quality of all the audio visual on the phone has been great. I look forward to my continued relationship with Samsung and highly recommend their products

Great intro phone.

Bought this for my eleven year old son. Been a Galaxy user for a long time. Thought it would be great to get my son a galaxy for his first phone but didn't want to spend the GS23 price for a phone that my get damaged. Super happy with the durability and capability of this phone. Definitely a great starter phone.

A good basic phone

There's not really that many features so it's not very impressive but it's reliable and I consider it to be exactly worth what I paid for, almost free. The editing tools leave a lot to be desired which is sad because I used to enjoy taking great pictures and super editing tools on my old Kyocera Dual Force. I had that phone for several years with absolutely no problems. I loved it! It finally bit the dust and the insurance company sent me this garbage instead and after one month the screen is already cracked even with a screen protector. I'm not a happy satisfied customer.

A great basic phone with 5G

Overall quality phone. Decent screen, decent speed, decent memory, decent battery life. I bought two of these for my teenage sons. They use them for games, streaming, texting, etc. No complaints from them. With a good amount of memory, a newer processor, and 5G it should be relatively future proof.

Awesome phone

I use my Samsung phone for streaming, gaming, online work, emailing and video chat. I love the feature updates that's recently installed to Android Version 13. I'm loving the processing speed. Good long lasting battery. I love the camera with its multi-funtional options. Sounds is loud and clear from the phones Speaker's. It has losts of hard drive space to download apps. I like the fact that it has option for extra space by adding a SD card. The size of the screen is also a plus. My Samsung Galaxy A42 never let me down since the day I bought it. Thanks Samsung! My favorite product brand.

About Samsung Galaxy A42

FEATURED REVIEWS

Excellant so far

By Larry

Replaced my A-50 with the A-42. Excellent features for those of us that don't need to play games etc. Expandable storage, 5G ready, and still has the headphone jack if you need it. Battery lasts for days between charging. I don't need a $1000 phone. This is the perfect phone at a reasonable price!

Excellent in every way.
