          The gaming preformance on this Phone is Quite good, and battery, and camera but I Wish that the pixel density on the AMOLED screen was higher, but other than that a good midrange Phone from Samsung.

            Zero8, 03 May 2021How is this one compared too the S7??,I own a J7. I'm not sure of the actual performance of the A42 but all of the specs completely blow away the J7.

                verizon is running a promotion where this phone is only $4/month for 24 months.. at that price is it a contender? I have a Pixel 2 XL and was hoping to find a deal on a Pixel 5..

                      I am a newbie. I need someone's expert opinion. I just bought this phone - the configuration of the 5 "things" - I am assuming lenses - is different for the phone I bought. It only has the cluster of 4 - the "gold" dot below them is non-existent on my phone. Every case I have seen has a U-shaped cut-out under the cutout for the cluster-of-four. SInce my phone does not have the fifth "thingy", I am guessing over time and use that debris will fall into the U-shaped cutout. Any and all thoughts welcome. Thanks

                              The specs say slow motion recording @ 480 fps, which is very good. May any actual owner kindly confirm, whether the recording time is limited to short bursts (few seconds) or if one may record @ 480 fps for minutes or more at a time? THANK YOU

                                      Anonymous, 28 Dec 2020The 720p oled screen contributes to the great battery life. i have to agree about battery life. you get used to the HD resolution after some time ( my previous was QHD super amoled ) . Normal use , i am left with 60% battery by bedtime. Heavy browsing + movies + Navigation most of the day , left with 40%. I guess you dont have to worry about battery life with this phone.
