I Bought the Samsung Galaxy A42 5g here in September 2023 for super cheap and wasn't expecting much from a phone that is pushing 3 yrs old but I was wrong, this phone does everything I need it to, great photo quality from the rear and selfie cameras, battery life is amazing, is it as good as a Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra 5g , of course not it never was but it is a cheap little beast of a phone, not sure why there's a lot of Bad reviews about it, I have been using it for almost 23 days and no issues at all in fact I love it, the under screen fingerprint is a little slow but it works fine for the money I paid for it I'm not complaining at all. I'm going to use it until It stops working and is unusable.
