HIGHLIGHTS

The Galaxy M42 5G is the first smartphone in Samsung's M series to get 5G support. It also happens to be the most affordable smartphone in the entire Samsung stable to offer 5G connectivity. Samsung has picked the capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor for the Galaxy M42 5G, but has also equipped it with an HD+ display which sticks out like a sore thumb in this price range. So can the Galaxy M42 5G help Samsung get ahead of the competition, or has the company cut too many corners? Here's my review

Galaxy M42 5G design
The Samsung Galaxy M42 5G₹ 21,999 is a big smartphone and bears some resemblance to the Galaxy A42 5G. The Galaxy M42 5G₹ 21,999 has a big 6.6-inch display with reasonably slim bezels all around. It has a dewdrop notch at the top, which Samsung refers to as an Infinity-U display. The Galaxy M42 5G has a polycarbonate back panel which has a glossy finish that Samsung calls “Glasstic”. The glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet and smudges are easily visible.
I'm using it since June. Love the battery. A single ncharge works 24 to 25 hours with approximately 8 hour SoT. Performance is good. Wish display was FHD+
