Announcement. Samsung Galaxy F42 5G - moderately budget five-gis for India

In India, announced a moderately inexpensive smartphone with support for 5G networks called Samsung Galaxy F42 5G.

First, a few words about the close relatives of this apparatus.

1. F42 5G is very similar to the “global” smartphone Samsung Galaxy A22 5G, only the main camera has slightly less megapixels - 48 instead of 64. And the design of the camera block is slightly different.

2. The F42 5G is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Wide5 smartphone sold in Korea. The only question is the refresh rate of the screen. In the F42 it is increased, and in the case of the Wide5 we (I) do not know about it.

The chipset is very good - MediaTek Dimensity 700 - for three hundred thousand points in the ninth AnTuTu. Memory. 6 or 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage. There is support for memory cards.

They did not install an AMOLED screen. Something IPS-like. Diagonal 6.6 ″, resolution 1080 × 2408, (400 ppi). The screen refresh rate is 90 Hz.

The battery is good, 5000 mAh. Charging 15 watts. By modern standards, it is not particularly fast.

Cameras. Front camera with a resolution of 8 MP, rear trio 64 + 5 + 2 MP - main module, wide-angle, depth sensor.

Side fingerprint scanner. Fifth (dual-band) Wi-Fi. Apparently, there is no NFC module.

The Samsung Galaxy F42 5G will go on sale from October 3. ₹ 20,999 (₽20,600, $ 284) and ₹ 22,999 (₽22500, $ 311) for versions 6 + 128 and 8 + 128 GB, respectively.
