As per the report, the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G will launch in India later this month. This goes in line with the earlier report and looking at these, we can expect the launch date to be somewhere in the last week of April.

Moving on, citing industry sources, the report says that the device will be priced between ₹20,000- ₹25,000 in India. This is an area that Samsung touched upon recently with the Galaxy A32 4G. However, if the reports are true, the Galaxy M42 5G would be far better than this.

Besides, Samsung also has the Galaxy F62 at ₹23,999 on Flipkart and although it has its own pros, the Galaxy M42 at this price range will cater to those who are in need of getting a 5G device.

The Samsung Galaxy M42 5G has appeared on certifications like the Wi-Fi Alliance, China’s 3C authority, India’s BIS, and benchmarking sites like Geekbench.

The device is said to share similarities with the Galaxy A42 5G retailing in Europe but comes with few improvements. So far, reports say that the device will likely feature a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display and feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G 5G chipset.

Other expected specs include a quad-camera setup with a 64MP primary camera, 32MP selfie camera, 6,000mAh battery, in-display fingerprint sensor, fast charging support up to 15W, and One UI 3.1(Android 11).

Samsung is seemingly launching a 5G smartphone under the Galaxy M lineup soon. Early reports indicate that the device could be called Galaxy M42 5G and it could take hints from the already available Galaxy A42 5G. Now, the former has appeared on Geekbench.

A Samsung smartphone with model number SM-M426B appears on Geekbench 5 benchmarking database. As per the benchmark listing, the device in testing features a 4GB RAM, Android 11 OS, and has a Qualcomm chipset running at a base frequency of 1.8GHz.

When looked upon the source code, the chipset has the Adreno GPU 619 GPU and this suggests that it is the Snapdragon 750G chipset. As for the device, its official support page has already gone live in India and it might launch as the Galaxy M42 5G as mentioned above.

Further, it has already gone through other certifications like the Wi-Fi Alliance, China’s 3C authority, and others like India’s BIS. Of course, the naming isn’t confirmed yet, but looking at the model number, there is a possibility for it coming as Galaxy M42.

Samsung is said to bring a lot of other midrange 5G devices and the Galaxy M42 isn’t the only one. Apparently, it is said to be working on the Galaxy M62 5G, and an ODM-made Galaxy A22 5G device. Out of this, we don’t know which is going to launch first in India just yet.

As for specs, it could feature a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display, quad-cameras with a 64MP primary camera, 32MP selfie camera, 6,000mAh battery, in-display fingerprint sensor, fast charging support up to 15W, MicroSD, One UI 3.1, and more.

Let’s wait and see how long Samsung takes to make the device official in India.
