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.

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

to the attention of gsm arena!!
the samsung a42 5g has a 64mp rear facing main camera (wide angle) not 48mp. it has been changed. also if you are based in the uk, check the currys.co.uk (currys and pc world) website as it shows accurately that it has a 64mp rear facing main camera (wide angle) not 48mp camera.
please change this mistake/issue as soon as possible (see above) - 64mp rear facing camera not 48mp
thanks

Should of come with Android 11 which came this year in september, I doubt this phone will even get Android 12, 720p in 2020 for 300 dollars is horribile. Camera probably didnt improve much. Macro camera sees a large bump in mega pixels but a pro mode which they refuse to deliver could of do something much better. Ultra wide is the same stuff as 2 YEARS ago.
Battery is much higher than the original A40 but that doesnt matter, samsung phones get a lot of bloatware and ads, and 5G isnt really a feature right now. the display is also really big, I dont like the new designs at all, they could do something much better. There is an attempt at doing some gradient but I dont like it. Samsung is rotting, I suggest a pixel 3a or 4a which should be in the same price range. Go check out oneplus nord if you got more money.
