The smartphone is also said to run Android 11 out-of-the-box. Its quad-camera setup will most likely have a 64-megapixel primary camera.

Rumours also suggest Galaxy M42 5G will be a rebranded version of the Galaxy A42 5G. Going by this speculation, we can expect Galaxy M42 5G to feature a 6.6-inch HD+ Super AMOLED display, 15W fast charging support and up to 6GB of RAM. Accompanying the 64-megapixel camera will most likely be an ultra wide angle lens, a depth sensor and a macro sensor.
