Display

It only pushes 720 x 1600 pixels resolution which can be a big no-no for some people simply because when it comes to watching YouTube videos or even Netflix, it display just looks bad as compared to many other phones. This one also noticed that the display tends to lean on the warmer side. But it can be adjusted under the setting. Yes! You can actually pull it back to the cooler tones.

Battery
Finally, sealed within Samsung Galaxy A42 5G is a Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable battery and it comes with 15-watt adaptive fast charging. It’s not uncommon to find phones with like huge batteries these days.
