Think about it. Sure, the SD750G isn't the absolute best, but the 720p will mean your graphics will just fly. The 5000 mAh battery is also gaming-friendly. 60hz is... erm... (cmon Sammy, why???) but other than that, budget gamers have a pretty capable device that actually performs up to flagship level in terms of graphics.

About the user experience and where it matters is where the A42 5G has to rely on the naive and gullable and desperate for 5G despite its downsides, UK Market here btw where we don't actually get the A52 4G with Samsung but can be found on Amazon, yes you loose 5G and slightly less performance on paper but check below if you do find the A52 4G for sale.
A42 5G £319(UK) vs A52 4G Aprox £320(Amazon UK)
Display: 720p 60Hz vs 1080p 90Hz
Chipset: 750G vs 720G SoC
Main Cam: 48MP No OIS vs 64MP with OIS
Selfie Cam: 20MP vs 32MP
Battery: 5000mah vs 4500mah
The A52 4G has a sharper 1080p display with 90Hz, a bonus as it's the thing that you look at most and gave to use to interact with the device.
The A52 has Optical Image Stabilization to improve the sharpness and quality of photos by reducing natural shake

The macro camera isn't that great though.

I am a newbie. Just bought a Samsung Galaxy A42 5G from the Verizon store in Auburn, Maine. My old phone finally gave up (touch screen was no longer reacting to any touches - so could not even off-load anything - bummer. The camera configuration consists of 4 "lenses" (I don't know what they are called). All the pictures I have seen on-line show 5. Even the cases I have looked at have a "U" carved out at the lower-left of the position where the other four lenses are. I am totally confused. Does anyone know what I actually bought? Thanks

Can we expect to get A42 4G aswell? A41 was released in May 2020.
6.1 inch version A42 is a must.

This thing looked good for gaming,
Until they announced the new poco phones.
Snapdragon 800 series for around 300 is just unbeatable.

Hello all! I bought this phone recently on the 7th of March. Came for a Samsung M21 to this phone, a.k.a the A42 5G. Honestly in my opinion, this phone is actually great, I've seen people complaining about the display but honestly, it's not big of a deal. The display is still beautiful and if you don't compare it beside a 1080p phone..it's not noticeable actually therefore having a 720p display on this phone with Super Amoled is still great! 😍 Besides that I'm enjoying the phone so far, it has a good camera ; it takes great pictures including selfies 😍! Though I must admit, the 4k video is great, it isn't totally 4k to my eyes but I'd rate it a 7/10 for thr 4k and for its 1080p video recording, it's also great especially if you're recording with video stabilisation 😍, it's sad tho that the 4k mode doesn't support video stabilisation and only 1080p does but it's not big of deal. When it comes to gaming, I actually play PUBG Mobile and my experience so far is definitely great and better than my other phone ( Samsung M21), it's a big change for me as it runs alot smoother and faster right now! The battery, I'm still trying to get used to it since it's a 5000 mAH while M21 had a 6000 mAH but it's still alright to me, with a single charge, I'm able to use the phone for almost a day if I play PUBG and if I don't, it'll last a day and a 1 or 2 hours for me since I'm a active user for my phone and can I just say that this phone is soooo smooth!!! 😍 Speakers are average honestly but if you set the sound quality to custom and max out all the settings, it'll sound great (7.5/10). Thats all I'm going to review abt this phone. Hope this will help the people in deciding if this is the phone for you. 😊

Elvira, 09 Mar 2021You can clearly see the diference. Its a huge screen for su... moreBad screen? Yes, A42 5G doesn't have the best display but it is far from bad. At least it uses a Super AMOLED display unlike the A32 5G that uses an LCD display. A12, A02s and A02 don't even use an LCD Display, they use TFT display despite having a similar screen size as the A42 5G.
