What is RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. RAM is used by your device to temporarily store data to carry out everyday operations. The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs.

This device has 4GB RAM.

Be immersed
Designed for those who enjoy a larger screen, the Galaxy A42’s 6.6”, Super AMOLED with Infinity-U display provides loads of visual real estate for checking out your social media accounts, playing games or watching films and shows.

Samsung Health
Join in the fun and games with the free to download Samsung Health app. Challenge yourself, your friends or take on the global community each month. Not only will more exercise help you to get fitter, it’ll help you level up, too. Handily, the phone can auto-detect your walks and then record your fitness progress. There are even more options available if you pair your phone with a smart watch from the Galaxy Watch range (sold separately).

Storage friendly
With high resolution photos and videos, music, films and apps, storage space can fill up. Not to worry as the Galaxy A42 has a handy memory card slot – just pop in a memory card that you’ve previously purchased and remove the need to delete or upgrade.

Stay secure
The Galaxy A42 has facial recognition, as well as a fingerprint sensor – all it takes is just one quick glance or finger tap and you’re in business.

What is SIM free?
You'll receive an unlocked mobile, so there’s no requirement to commit to any network, leaving you free to decide which SIM card / network to use in the device. This gives you the opportunity to find the most suitable plan, whether that’s contract or pay-as-you-go, throughout the lifetime of the phone.

Additional information: manufacturers often update their Operating System (OS) software over the course of a device’s lifespan – this means that your product might ship with a more advanced OS than specified.
