Samsung is gearing up to launch yet another F-series phone. The upcoming Galaxy F42 5G has now been spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking site (via), which suggests that it may go official in the next few weeks.
The Galaxy F42 5G has appeared with its SM-E426B model number on the benchmarking site. The device is powered by a MediaTek chip that has an MT6833V/NZA model name, which reveals that it is powered by the Dimensity 700 chip.
The listing further mentions that it has 6 GB of RAM, and it runs on Android 11 OS. In the single-core test of Geekbench, the handset scored 559 points and it recorded 1719 points in the multi-core test. Before appearing on Geekbench, the handset has been previously seen at certification sites such as Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG, and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Samsung’s F-series phones are just rebranded versions of its existing A-series or M-series smartphones. At present, the Galaxy A22 5G is the only Dimensity 700 chip-powered phone from the brand. Hence, it appears that the Galaxy F42 5G could be a rebadged A22 5G.

The Galaxy A22 5G has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel that produces a Full HD+ resolution. The Dimensity 700 powered phone comes with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 of internal storage. The device is backed by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 15W charging.
The A22 has a front camera of 8-megapixel. Its rear camera setup has a 48-megapixel main camera, a 5-megapixel ultrawide shooter, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. It offers other features like a microSD card slot and a fingerprint scanner.
