has anyone got their A42 officially updated to A13? I'm curious because this phone is being sold new/sealed at a bargain price at the moment.

DANIEL , 16 Dec 2023I own this smartphone series and it does not have an update... moreYep Samsung lied to us by claiming a series phones in 2020 or later would get three os updates but as it turns out Samsung likes to only update it's phones if they're one of their favourite countries

Spud, 29 May 2023I've just been talking to Samsung support about this q... moreThe only other options are a:) install a custom rom or b:)buy a phone with android 13 preinstalled, since option A is unlikely to be recommended by a Samsung employee which leaves only option B available and would make opening a case pointless. The only thing this Samsung rep is interested in is selling you another phone so they can get another commission for their next meal ticket.

Dio, 30 May 2023So im guessing that this model wont get the 13 android ? If that's the case foe the international version of the a42 5g then Samsung should just come out and say so instead of lying to people by telling them A series models get 3 OS updates and 4 years of security updates when clearly they don't.

Spud, 29 May 2023I've just been talking to Samsung support about this q... moreUmm lol what? I'm pretty sure all variants of the a42 5g use the snapdragon 750g SoC so chances are this Samsung representative has no idea what they're talking about. If my galaxy tab a7 lite with it's helio p22t SoC( which is miles weaker than the a42) then I don't understand how "my Galaxy A42 5G could not keep up with this latest software update"

Anonymous, 27 May 2023When will the international version (sm-a426b) get android ... moreI've just been talking to Samsung support about this question, since it's seems to be the only A42 5G variant not to receive the ONE UI 5.0/1 update. And this was their some what stock copy and paste response...
Thank you for patiently waiting, Sarah. As per checking here in my end the update releases by batches. I understand Sarah, that you want your device to be updated in the latest software update. However, the latest software demands high processing capabilities for its installed processor. And at the moment, the processor installed within your Galaxy A42 5G could not keep up with this latest software update. Thus, the reason why, the current running software version is the most compatible with the said device. How about this, will you allow me to create a Samsung case for you? So, that I can check other options available aside from forcing an update of the software.
