Customers are saying

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.

    The purchase process and delivery from best buy were excellent especially if you don't like the long car dealership wait at a Verizon store. The smartphone works well but the first 3 days were spent upgrading the android OS and security patches. Living in a rural area I didn't expect 5G service but am disappointed that I am only getting 2-3 bar 4G. Overall a good value with apps for the social media set. Came with charger unlike a53 5g

    A great experience all the way around! The salesman listened to what I wanted and we got down to business. The whole evolution took about 30 minutes and we were done! Very knownledgable and efficient salesman! When I picked up my order in the store another salesman helped to transfer all my data and provided helpful info on my new phone! Couldn't have been any easier!!
