Snapdragon 750 5G handles the processing here, paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, plenty for most daily use and multitasking. The 6.6-inch Super AMOLED screen runs at 720 x 1600 resolution, so colours and contrast hold up well even if the pixel density isn't class-leading. 5G connectivity is built in, along with NFC for contactless payments.

Round the back you'll find a 48MP main camera backed by an 8MP ultrawide, a 5MP macro, and a 5MP depth sensor, giving some flexibility for wider shots or close-ups. Selfies go through a 20MP front camera. Samsung Galaxy A42 5G price in Malaysia starts from RM1159.

Battery capacity sits at 5000mAh with 15W fast charging, which should comfortably get you through a full day. It ships with Android 10 and One UI 2.5 on top, and comes in Prism Dot Black, White, or Gray.
