Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Repair – Snapdragon 750G and Samsung's first affordable 5G model
The Galaxy A42 5G launched at the end of 2020 and was, for many users, their first affordable 5G smartphone. Samsung went with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G – unusual for the A series, which otherwise relies on Exynos or MediaTek. The Snapdragon 750G offers solid 5G support and still runs reliably for everyday use today.
Side fingerprint sensor – an advantage during repair
Unlike the A40 and A41 with an optical in-display sensor, the A42 5G has the fingerprint sensor on the side, in the power button. That is a clear advantage during a screen repair: no recalibration needed. Both original and aftermarket displays work fully without any extra effort. The A42 5G has no IP rating – switch it off immediately in case of water damage.
5000 mAh battery and typical faults after 4–5 years
The large 5000 mAh battery is one of the strengths of the A42 5G – but after 4–5 years of use the capacity drops noticeably. A battery replacement for EUR 69 restores the original runtime. The 6.6-inch display is prone to drop damage. If you would rather not send it in yourself, use the pickup service in Vienna – we collect the device directly and ship it back.
Frequently asked questions about the Samsung Galaxy A42 5G repair
How much does a screen repair on the Samsung Galaxy A42 5G cost?
The original display costs EUR 129, the certified aftermarket display EUR 109. The A42 5G has a side fingerprint sensor in the power button – both display variants are fully compatible, no recalibration needed.
Does the A42 5G have an in-display or side fingerprint sensor?
Side – the sensor sits in the power button. That is an advantage over the A40 and A41 with an in-display sensor: a screen swap requires no fingerprint calibration, which makes the repair simpler and cheaper.
Can I drop the device off in person?
No – Reparo has no walk-in access. Your Galaxy A42 5G is collected via pickup service in Vienna or you send it in insured by post.
Does the Galaxy A42 5G have an IP rating?
No – the A42 5G has no official IP rating and is not protected against water ingress. In case of moisture damage, switch it off immediately and order a diagnostic check (25 EUR, waived on repair).
Is a repair worth it on the A42 5G (built in 2020)?
The Snapdragon 750G and 5G support still make the A42 5G suitable for everyday use in 2025. A battery replacement for EUR 69 or a screen repair from EUR 109 can extend the device significantly. With a residual value of around EUR 100–140, an aftermarket display is economically reasonable.
What is special about the Snapdragon 750G in the A42 5G?
The Snapdragon 750G (5nm) is unusual for the A series and offered solid performance with efficient 5G support back in 2020. It is easy to repair and all our diagnostic tools cover this platform fully.
How long does the A42 5G repair take?
Screen or battery replacement usually takes 1–2 days after arrival. For water damage or board problems, 3–5 working days. Receipt confirmation and cost estimate by email before the repair starts.
What does the diagnostic check on the Galaxy A42 5G include?
The diagnostic check (25 EUR, waived on repair) tests: display, battery capacity, charging function, cameras, microphone, speaker, fingerprint sensor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 5G mobile network. Written findings report included.
Will I lose data during the repair?
With a screen or battery replacement no data loss is expected. With severe water damage, loss cannot be ruled out. A backup before sending in is recommended.
What is the difference between the Galaxy A42 5G and the A33 5G?
The A33 5G (2022) uses the Exynos 1280 instead of the Snapdragon 750G, has IP67 water protection (A42 5G: no IP rating) and a smaller 6.4-inch display (A42: 6.6 inch). The A33 5G is the more modern and more rugged model. Parts are not compatible.
Is there a warranty on the repair?
Yes, a 6-month warranty on all repairs and parts. It covers material and workmanship faults. Damage from another drop or moisture is excluded.
