Rumours circulating on the internet suggest that the upcoming Samsung smartphone could be a rebranded version of the Galaxy A42 5G, which was launched last year. Other rumours suggest that, while most of the key specifications between the Galaxy M42 5G and Galaxy A42 5G will be the same, there will be some differences here and there.

When it comes to the Galaxy A42 5G, it comes with a 6.6-inch S-AMOLED display that offers an HD+ resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The phone is powered by Snapdragon 750G SoC paired with up to 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. It runs on One UI 3.1 based Android 11 OS.

What about the price?

A previously leaked report revealed that the Galaxy M42 5G could cost below the price tag of Rs 25,000 in India. We suggest you take this with a pinch of salt given Samsung is yet to reveal official pricing of the Samsung phone.
