Just because we made it to December doesn’t mean anyone is safe from new phone launches. Samsung just rolled up with its cheapest ever 5G phone just in time for Christmas. Here’s what we know about the Galaxy A42 5G.
Being a mid-range device the A42 5G doesn’t have the beefiest specs in the world, but it does offer next-gen connectivity with 5G compatibility.
According to the phone manufacturer it is the cheapest 5G phone that it has released to date.
“We’re excited to bring to market our latest 5G smartphone in the A Series line-up. The Galaxy A42 5G delivers premium Samsung features and innovation, is powered for the latest super-fast 5G networks, and is part of our ongoing commitment to deliver next-generation connectivity to more Australians.” Garry McGregor, Samsung Australia’s Vice President – IT & Mobile, said in a statement.
