    Full featured Low Cost 5G phone from Samsung

    Great full-featured phone for its low cost. I simply switched my TracFone SIM card and it worked immediately. I was recently in Phoenix where they have 5G, and it switched to 5G from LTE and had lightning speed! This replaced my MOTO G7 that had a worn out charging port after several years. Although still getting used to it, my only concerns is the bloat-ware that came pre-installed (as with most phones) and with getting all the settings right, and that it's "Fast charging" at 9 volts is much slower than my MOTO was at 12 volts super-fast mode. All in all, I highly recommend this device.

    So far so good

    I live far from a city with 5G towers...the signal is weak at the house...but when inside a city the signal is faster than my prior cellphone an A11 Samsung. It is definitely an upgrade and has 128GB rather than 32GB with the A11...the 25GB used initially for all Samsung apps is way too much...and eventually I am certain I will once again need an upgrade to a 256 GB phone or beyond...otherwise it was new in a box and my Verizon provider enabled the transfer without a fee.

    Value for the money spent

    Too soon to tell you more than this. Ask again in 9 months for followup. I would possibly consider it a SFF because a lot is packed into the phone but size wise it is not small. The 4G of RAM could be better but it will do.

    A little big but great!

    While it's a little big, it has great battery life, the cameras take crystal clear images, and it's pretty fast too! My main gripe is all of the Samsung bloatware that can't be uninstalled. Not enough to knock a star off, though.

    Good phone

    This phone works good. The camera isn't as good as I hoped for but it has a fast processor, long life battery and the screen is nice. Great value for the price. I'm glad I got it.

    Great Value in a Galaxy

    Upgraded from a Galaxy S7 to the A42. Great phone with all of the features we need at a great price. On line apps work so much faster with this phone. Takes great pictures.
