    Honestly the phone is shit. The A41 was realistically a downgrade from the A40, and the A42 is continuing the trend. I mean the CPU is a nice upgrade, the cameras are ok-ish and the design has been getting worse and worse. A40 was a good compact phone with a great screen and everything mediocre but at that price it was ok. A41 is pure shit. For the same price of A31 you are getting 1 less camera, smaller screen and battery(logical), so all around a worse deal for the same price. A41 was shit. And now A42 is getting into A7X ish price range probably cause of the addition of 5G with everything else low to mid range. AX0 line was ok, AX1 was ugly, and for AX2 I don't have a comment.

      HD+ is unacceptable in these days in this price level and 6.6" display.

        Anders, 09 Oct 20206.6" display but only 720p resolution? No thanksThat's such a random decision! Compared to the a41 mostly upgrades other then the display???

              Snapdragon n690G

                HD+ display with a Snapdragon 750G, that doesn't make any sense. I really doubt this.

                  Is this supposed to be newer version of A41 and A40? It's 20mm higher than A40?!

                    6.6" display but only 720p resolution? No thanks

                        Sacrificed FHD for cheap 5G Samsung. For less demanding like elderly etc. may be... speedy with 750 at least. No beauty as other current phones, for such customer okay though. Still, I'd probably look around for better if in market for my family.

                          For Samsung to be reveal everything but hide the chipset... It tells you that they're about to use their exynos chipset in this phone. If it were to be snapdragon chipset... They'll be more than happy to reveal it with the specs that they revealed

                            Unfortunately the compact size is gone :(

                                  I wonder what chipset will power this phone.

                                    Exynos 980 has same clockspeeds as SD750G. So can't say which chip is inside?
