It also revealed that the SoC includes Adreno 619 graphics.
Previous speculations claimed that the Galaxy A42 5G is driven by the Snapdragon 690 5G that went official last month. However, the configurations of the processor cores and CPU that has surfaced on the benchmarking platform matches with the newly unveiled Snapdragon 750G chipset.
