Design and screen:
Samsung used plastic or polycarbonate manufacturing materials in the Galaxy M42, which is common in this category. As for the design, it was never different from the design of the Galaxy M42. Galaxy A42 With a square camera frame and screen with an infinity-U notch instead of a hole, in addition to a relatively large lower chin.
Despite the Samsung’s use of the ultra-clear Super AMOLED screen, which offers acceptable levels in terms of brightness and color saturation, it neglected the screen resolution very clearly, which was reflected in the density of pixels, which became possible to notice the lack of it very clearly and therefore you will not get a full enjoyment of watching videos or even games.
Moreover, the screen only supports the normal refresh rate of 60Hz.
Mobile performance:
The phone's processor was manufactured with a precision of 8 nanometers and contains eight cores with a frequency of up to 2.2 GHz Kryo 570. As for the actual performance of the phone, you will get a very strong performance and the best in its class.
The phone works with the Snapdragon 750G 5G processor, which enables you to perform various activities on the phone with ease and smoothly and play games with high graphics such as Pupg and COD without stuttering or dropping in the number of frames.
Samsung uses the Snapdragon 750G 5G chipset in many of its recently launched smartphones such as Galaxy A52 The A72 is also used by Realme in its smartphone Realme Q3 The processor offers strong performance in that price category in addition to supporting fifth generation networks.
Camera specifications and features:

The rear camera can shoot 4K videos at 30 frames per second, 1080P resolution, 30 clips per second, and Slow-motion HD videos at 480 frames per second.
The front camera is set with a 20-Megapixel camera with an f/2.2 lens slot that supports HDR and FHD video shooting.

The phone is equipped with a large non-removable 5000 mAh lithium-polymer battery, the battery offers good performance and can withstand a full day of hard work.
Although the performance of the phone’s battery is good because it enables you for long periods of use, but unfortunately Samsung neglected the charging part and limited it to supporting the phone with a charging power of not more than 15 watts, so the phone will take about two and a half hours to reach from 0% to 100%.
