        If u really wanna compare display, compare it with A30 and the price for the display.
        Btw, this is currently the cheapest 5G phone. They focused on making a cheap 5G phone. If u like to target weakness in some spec, every company has one something like this. Dont even know why u come to the budget section to criticize things.

                      Dude468, 14 Dec 2020what is the difference between the A and the M lineup?In my opinion, M series is "Power Bank" series to me. The M51, 7000Mah, crazy battery capacity but a unreasonable chipset according to the price. Nowadays u can see a better chipset in lower price but ofc, there's pros and cons. Now the A series. The A series is kinda a "overall" (everything balance), but starting from the A4(A40, A41, A42) series u will see some weird spec happening as they need to sell it cheap. A50 and A51 is currently the highest selling android phones in 2019 and 2020. But at the end of 2020 u will start to see some phones selling almost the same specs at a lower price from companies like Xiaomi. I know there a lot more better spec at the same price from other companies but trust me, Samsung knows what's best for their phones in terms of ageing. U can see a lot of phones that has 33W charging or 65W charging but faster charging can create more heat as this can turn into a damage to your battery. If your usage style is not an "abuse" usage the Samsung's phone can definitely last long, as long as 5 or more as the batteries inside Samsung's phones are certified to last atleast 5years before the liquids inside te battery starts leaking. Even in A0 series(A01, A02) they also use 5 yrs certified battery in those phones. Hope this gives u an idea of it, have a nice day.

                          A42 5G is still stuck at October 2020 security patch in Singapore. My cheaper realme 5i has just received November 2020.

                            I think the main reason for using 720p is to conserve battery..designed for heavy gaming and
                            internet use.

                              Love the 720p screen. It's easy on the eye and a must have for people with migraines.

                                MeZoP, 18 Sep 2020Whats wrong with the S10e it sold Pretty Decent I think.I agree. I'm more comfortable with compact phones and I really love the s10e and s20's compact sizes. I wish Samsung would make more compact phones because not everyone wants a 6.9 or 6.5 display.

                                  They got a much more powerful processor than A41 but the resolution went down. I think 1080p display is more important for people at this price point. But its not fault actually. 5g processors are expensive thanks to Qualcomm. But Samsung had to give it 750g and keep the cost down. So they had to cut down on something. So they did. Samsung should make their own 5g mid-range chipset

                                    A41 had a 1080p screen, massive downgrade!
