Getting 5G but sacrificing a Full HD screen in the process seems like a really shitty deal. Samsung has done this with both the A32 and the A42, and it begs me to ask - is 5G really that important?
It would be Important when 5G will be ready to use in all the countries. Till then, Brands must focus onto the base specs. Like a Good Screen, Quality Cameras and Bigger Batteries!
Unfortunate regarding ther resolution, sacrifices made for 5g and a much more powerful processor (SD 750g). If the A42 had a small display like previous A4* phones and the SD 750g, that would be such a powerful lil midrange phone
5G for the most part hasn't even fully deployed in the US, let alone in less "relevant" countries. Adding insult to injury, phone advertisements in my country are touting 5G when 5G doesn't even have any actual coverage in my country yet.
I watched your galaxy a12 video earlier today. Went back and saw Shane Symonds A42 video. Now, I'm back once again, to another A42 video seemingly out of the blue!
I switched from my S8 to A42 2 months ago and the phone is an absolute BEAST! The long lasting battery life means that I no longer needs a powerbank when I go for work.
Sadly... most people cannot tell thew difference between 720p and 1080p, which is why phone companies get away with 720p screens. Most of the people who can tell the difference would buy an S series.
I have A41..and I like it because its compact with amazing screen and fast enough for normal use ( IM, internet, bit of youtube etc)...the bigger screen with smaller resolution just doesn't make sense as upgrade to the A41. don't know
Wade bro do the S21 review more people are looking forward to it meaning you get more likes and views since its still the hot hour when everyone wants to see it dude.
Could I ask you something?Would you buy the A42G over the A31?looking for a unlocked phone to bring to boost mobile for the $10 a month talk and text plan?Thanks this will be my first smart phone .
I arrived very early because I love your videos, please make a video of the Galaxy A52, it is the video that I am waiting for the most from you, I am looking forward to it, thanks for such good content, Greetings from Argentina te quiero 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷❤️
So I can upgrade to this phone through my carrier, currently I have an I-phone XR, will I be disappointed?, I mostly watch videos and play an occasional game, any thoughts would be appreciated
The volume is... kinda weak? 720p to 1080p costs a lot of money when watching RUclips videos. I prefer to watch in 240p to make the data last longer. Although no problem with 1080p option.
For me I like when Samsung thrown a bigger screen to the A42... But, 1080p Amoled to 720p Amoled is the worst downgrade ever.... It is so frustating to see thats coming to Samsung A42... But luckily, they put a much powerfull chipset to the A42 so its still worth it. Sometimes you need to do sacrifices for something more good
They sacrificed the screen downgrade for the speedy processor and battery. For the money I think most will find the tradeoff agreeable. And it's and AMOLED screen so it's not horrid.
Hey atleast the notch isn’t as bad and can compete with other phones. I like the camera design it’s simple and workable. We do still have one plus and apple to compete with in the budget lineup and maybe even blu
@TechDaily That's so nice of you,have been following your channel for a while and i love it,pls i really want to buy samsung galaxy a71 since last year but i do not have enough cash for it here in nigeria because it is too expensive,i will really appreciate it if you can send the phone to me here in nigeria,just a request from one of your fans....thanks
Hey Wade, love your content, would you ever consider putting time stamps highlighting specific features of the phones in your reviews? e.g stamps for display, camera battery life etc etc
So for someone who likes big screens & long batteries, doesn't care much about cameras or gaming... This would actually be the better pick over the A71?
Finger print reader can used smoothly only for a month or two, later will have to turn to manual typing pin code😄.. by my experience in previous models..
Have you tried removing your fingerprint and putting it back in? Or just using multiple fingerprints, I heard those can help make the fingerprint sensor faster.
@@heybagley The phone battery life is great, optimization is great(I have the 8gb variant), smooth ui, amazing screen, network connection is top of the line. Tbh I can't complain much at the price point of this phone because it delivers. Even the camera is amazing after many updates, same with the fingerprint scanner.
@@t0kki_tokki Thank you for answering. What I love about the A51 are the display and the rear camera in bright conditions. The network connection is great outdoors. The fingerprint sensor is fine but could still unlock a bit faster. I sometimes wish the A51 had the size of the A41. Photos in lowlight conditions are as mediocre as the selfie camera shots. The phone is sometimes too slow and crashes (thanks 4GB RAM). But all in all, it does its job well considering the price. I paid 217 Euro in October (about 263$). That was a pretty good deal and a special offer by the online store of a German consumer electronics store at the time of Bezos' Prime Day.
The A42 seems like it wants to copy its older brother (take a look at the size, the fingerprint sensor and the camera setup of the A51) but totally screws it up with the display.
Nice review, i couldn't agree with you more, Samsung takes one step forward (processor) and two steps back (dimensions & display), i don't understand it really... it's price is exactly the same as realme 7 pro and by all means this is the phone (all specs) that should be the next phone after a41

Hey hey! 👋
It's been a great day for me .the Tampa Bay lightning got there first win of the season . Also good luck to you as well
I heard they don't put a case on in Europe! They are sooooo cheap! That case won't cost more than $2.
I like the gray too... I'm using OP3T now (still yes, 4 years in!), so it would ease the change! :D
I didn't even knew there was the A41
Do a samsung tablet unboxing like s7 s6 s7 plus s6 lite
Ooh I can do that! 👍
I'm using a a01 and thinking about the s20 fe or the A51 with one do you think I should get?
The S20 FE for sure 💯
@@TechDaily if you have money
If you need to play more hi end games you should choose s20 fe and it also provide water proof and wireless charging function.
if you have money for s20 fe go for it but if you don't go for a71

As always great work there wade 🥰😊😊I think the processor is the main highlight of this device that's why the display is a downgrade. Love from India.

Sadly... most people cannot tell thew difference between 720p and 1080p, which is why phone companies get away with 720p screens. Most of the people who can tell the difference would buy an S series.
Watching with my A42 5G 😍🤩🤩🤩
I'll wait to see what the a22 has in store
A42 ?? OMG 😘😘😘😘😘
I would have preferred 1080p lcd over 720p amoled. Don’t need any screen burning.
My problem with this phone is the camera bump looks so weird to me🤣🤣 And its display is lower
Thanks man this is a really great video
Why doesn't every company make a matte black version of their phones! Matte black is 🔥.

Still waiting for this phone in Pakistan.

Bruh I literally got the A11 a month ago not knowing the A12 was coming out.
Many carriers only offer 480p streaming
Cant wait A52 and A72
With an hd+ resolution and a snapdragon 750g must be a beast for gaming for sure.🤔🤔🤔
Not a beast...just decent. It also depends what games you’re talking about.
I really like the design and the color 😃
How is the GPS?, does it have an internal compass?
A51 VS A42 5G COMPARE
I was about to get it shipped to India until I heard 720p display
720p in large 6.6 inches display is a crap. They give 5G, but take away 1080p display.
There you go!!!!! Another one..😂. Very keen to looking forward design of A52 and A72.
when will them released? i was keen on one, especially the A52
So for someone who likes big screens & long batteries, doesn't care much about cameras or gaming... This would actually be the better pick over the A71?
It'll actually game pretty well
It is 3/29/22 waiting for fedex to deliver on wed so i will be back with what i think NV
A42 is very good phone
Even the galaxy a40 had a 2340×1080 Super Amoled display
Is it better camera??
Wait when you watch RUclips with A42 does it only 720p or 1080 too?
