What are your thoughts on the Galaxy A42 5G? Check it out here ➡ shop-links.co/1727871439300066670 Also the A71 5G has a 765G processor, not a 730 as I said in the video, but the performance of the A42's 750G is still on par with it in initial testing. Thanks for watching!

If you were in the market for a new phone which would you buy? The A42 is the more expensive yes? But if the A71 has a nicer clearer screen for reading text and similar performance I'm tor between the two. I thought a 1080 screen would be the min nowadays. But only 720 on the A42 seems bad. THoughts anyone?

How does the voice sound like when talking to people over the phone? It is clear? Any issues?
As of mid November, 2021, I am due to recieve this phone. Having had just simple flip phones in the past, I am not sure about using this. This video kinds of gives me an idea of what I am in for, and I did subscribe and hope to learn more about all you have to say on it. Thank you for taking your time with these videos.
Can i know is it dual sim and can put in a sd card?
That great battery life is due to the 720p display. It sucks when you have to decide between the 2.

There is one thing that extremely impressed me about your phone. IT WAS YOUR BIBLE APP, AWESOME. I have a LGG7 that is giving me problems but was an AWESOME phone when I got it used (almost new). I compared it side by side and it was not as good as the LGG7. Verizon can upgrade me to the S21 with a trade in but my LG is damaged and they will not take it. The A42 is not dust or water resistant as the LG is waterproof.

I have a device with an in-display fingerprint reader (not an A42 tho) and I'm totally cool with using it, along with the facial recognition my device has. I can't say how well biometrics will work specifically on the A42, but I quickly got used to using a fingerprint sensor, and I much prefer it over using a pin code.

When you think about it they may not release an A72 or an A52 because of how high spec the A42 is
does anyone now what other phone cases fit this model? I'm looking to sublimate one but can't find any for this model yet

At 10 minutes that clarity on 720p vs 1080p screen doesn't come through to my big good Asus Chromebook screen why? Strange because A42 screen looks crisper and better than A72. But then later when he shows A12 LCD screen I can see the huge difference how much better A42 Amoled is and see how much wider viewing angles it has.
AWESOMELY FANTASTIC PHONE
what is this weird skin that has sort of sharp corners? it's plasticky. is this to remain on permanently or are we supposed to peel it off? very weird. i'm confused.
So what's your pick..a71 or a51?
I would have gotten the phone but that 720p resolution and the thick bezels around the screen was what let it down
