The first Galaxy M with 5G
Samsung debuted the Galaxy M series a couple of years ago, focused on the entry and mid-range range and, in theory, below the Galaxy A series. Several terminals with a large battery arrived at it, such as the Galaxy M31, but still the jump to 5G was pending. That jump now comes with the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G, which is almost identical to the Samsung Galaxy A42 5G.
The latest connectivity comes to the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G from the hand of the Snapdragon 750G, which is accompanied by 6 or 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage with a MicroSD card. The hallmark of the series, the great battery, is still there. Includes a 5,000 mAh battery with 15W fast charging support.
The terminal a display of 6.6 inches with AMOLED panel and with a drop notch at the top. The screen has HD + resolution and maintains the standard refresh rate of 60 Hz. The fingerprint reader is hidden under its surface.
For photography, the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G mounts a 20 megapixel front camera and a four lens rear camera. The main one is 48 megapixels and with aperture f / 1.8, with an 8 megapixel wide angle, a 5 megapixel macro sensor and a 5 megapixel sensor for portrait mode.
One of the few differences between the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G with its cousin in the A series is that this time the terminal is launched with Android 11 with One UI 3.1 on top, while the A42 5G had Android 10 and One UI 2.5. The terminal has NFC and minijack.
