Customers find value in the Galaxy A42 5G 128GB's long battery life, good camera quality, and large, easy-to-read screen. Many appreciate its ease of use and the ample storage it provides, considering it a great value for the price. Some users mentioned the phone's weight as a drawback, and the lack of wireless charging was also noted as a missing feature. The phone's 5G capabilities and overall performance were also highlighted as positive aspects.

    Nice phone. Upgraded from samsung 8. Cameras are the best feature. Three lense options work great. All other functions are pretty much the same as the samsung 8.

    This is my 2nd Smart phone for someone over the age of 64. It's quite easy to use and has a long battery life. There's plenty of space 128 Gigs as my old one was only 16. So far so good! As always I recommend the screen protector and a good case.
