Samsung Galaxy F42 5G With 64MP Main Camera to Launch in India on September 29
Samsung
has announced the launch of the Samsung Galaxy F42 5G in India on
September 29. The phone will be available to purchase via Samsung
channels as well as Flipkart. The phone may also get some sale offers at
the upcoming Big Billion Days from October 7. Samsung has also set up a
dedicated microsite that highlights black and blue colour options and a
triple rear camera. The front panel will come with a waterdrop-style
notch for the single selfie snapper. The website also reveals a
fingerprint scanner on the right side and features such as a
64-megapixel primary camera and a 90Hz Full-HD+ display. The phone will
support 12 5G bands despite the connectivity option remains unavailable
(commercially) in the country. The Galaxy F42 5G will be Samsung’s fifth
smartphone in Galaxy F-series in 2021 and the first 5G smartphone in
the F-series portfolio to launch in India.
In terms of design, the Samsung Galaxy F42 5G appears to be a rebranded Samsung Galaxy Wide 5 that
debuted in South Korea earlier this month. If the speculation is
accurate, we can expect the smartphone to sport a 6.6-inch screen and
MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC under the hood. The chipset comes paired with
6GB RAM and offers 128GB of internal storage. The phone also has
dual-SIM slots and runs on Android 11 with a custom skin on top. The
other two cameras on the Samsung Galaxy F42 5G could be a 5-megapixel
secondary camera with f/2.2 aperture and a 2-megapixel tertiary sensor
with f/2.4 aperture. At the front, Samsung may add an 8-megapixel selfie
camera.
Other
notable features of the Samsung Galaxy Wide 5 that may come to Samsung
Galaxy F42 5G include a 5,000mAh battery and microSD card slot. The
Galaxy Wide 5’s price in South Korea is set at KRW 4,49,900, which is
roughly Rs 28,200 for the single 6GB RAM + 128GB storage model. The
Samsung Galaxy F42 5G may carry a similar price point. Samsung will
launch another 5G-enabled Galaxy M52 5G on September 28 that would retail via Amazon.
