Samsung has been actively pushing out new updates for its Galaxy lineup of smartphones, and in recent times, the South Korean giant has rolled out Android 13 for several phones. Now, it’s the turn of the company’s cheapest 5G smartphone to get the new update.

The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G mid-range smartphone has started receiving the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update. The phone debuted two years ago, which means that this could be the last major software update for the device.

Samsung is one of the brands that has been actively involved with the revamping of its software strategy and is trying to expand the longevity of its devices with regular updates for a longer period of time compared to other Android phone makers in the market.

The Galaxy A42 5G, which was launched a couple of years back with the Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box, is now getting the Android 13 update. As the update has just been released, it may take some time for everyone to get it.

The One UI 5.0 update based on the Android 13 operating system with firmware version A426NKSU2DVK2 and November 2022 security patch has been spotted in South Korea. It appears that not all the carriers are offering the new update, which means that the wider rollout could take a few more weeks.

The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G features a 6.6-inch HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity-U display. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750 processor, coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It also features an in-display fingerprint sensor for added security.

The phone has a quad-camera setup on the back that consists of a 48MP primary camera sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, a 5MP depth sensor, and a 5MP macro lens. There’s also a 20MP snapper on the front side for taking selfies and video calling. The device is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging.
