Welcome.Chatronome is a Samsung A-42 5G and today I will go over on
0:13
boxing along with an overview of this phone so the model that I have in front of me
0:18
as you can see it's going to be the grey version of it so they call it what is it
0:22
prism dot grey and there's also two other versions of it so we have the black and also
0:28
white both of them having this ideology of prism dot naming whatever that's
0:34
forced to even mean but in any way let's pop it open now the packaging right
0:39
here seems to be fairly budget which would probably be expected considering this device isn't necessarily out there from the high shelf so
0:50
yeah let's get out of here okay just can see there is nothing else in here
0:58
this box we got oh nothing okay that's nice then in here we got the phone
1:07
itself which come on go whoa whoa whoa I don't want to make it fall all out so
1:14
I just set it to the side right over here then here we got a really cheap looking
1:19
cable so this is a type C to type A at least it's nice that it's type C so can't
1:24
really complain here and then we got Oh, the good old Samsung, 15 watt charger
1:33
Goody, oh, nice. So this is a fairly garbage charger, and basically I'll perform by any other charger on the market
1:41
in any price range. So nice. I really like that Samsung still includes those for some reason
1:48
So let's set it to the side, and then close the box because you can see there's nothing in here
1:55
So boom to the side. And now let's unpack this. Where is the..
2:02
Oh, there we go. That's how I get it open. Okay, so there we go
2:16
And as can see, this is the pack of the device. It looks like it has this almost kind of like divided into four different sections
2:25
which is really hard to show. Oh there we go. You can see these lines. It kind of divides the phone into like four sections basically
2:38
But at specific lights it just looks like a single or well it looks like here it's just dotted kind of part and then just a gray one
2:48
Interesting look although not for me really. I don't really find it that appealing honestly
2:55
especially that the device kind of looks at the back a little bit bland
3:01
Especially with this, it just makes it feel like they try to add something to make it feel less bland
3:07
But I don't know, it just looks mediocre at best. So now that it's turning on, let me quickly touch upon the specifications of this device
3:18
So it has a 6.6 engine display, which is an Amo-Lead. or super Amelad and that's really nice. I really like Samsung for including
3:30
amelads and basically everything and they probably also include them in their
3:34
fridges I assume if they have screens but that's really nice. I'm not complaining about it. It makes the display look way better
3:42
I get way brighter than the typical LCD so props up and also because of that it usually supports 8 to R 10 although I haven't seen any markings and here for it so
3:55
Oops, I actually won't be connecting. So... Seriously? Why can I not skip it
4:04
Apparently I have to connect to Wi-Fi. Not really sure why. So let me quickly do that
4:14
Now while I'm connecting to Wi-Fi, I will mention that this is a 720p display
4:20
so unfortunately it is not the highest quality. quality, precisely it's 720 by 1600, which puts it at 266 pixels per inch
4:32
So what is this? So it won't be necessarily the most densest display, most high quality looking one
4:46
On average phones and 2020 had 1080p display, so this one is lacking a little bit behind
4:52
a little bit of a shame but honestly I don't really see that big of a deal here
4:57
I don't really look at the display that close to actually see the pixels but to
5:02
some people this might matter so I'm kind of mentioning at it here and also it has an
5:09
84.3% screen-to-body ratio and can I now proceed further with the setup that
5:14
would be nice okay I think I can actually proceed further so okay so yeah this
5:22
is okay it does have a little bit of a chin at the bottom as you can see and a
5:26
teardrop notch which is fairly prominent there and it is a real drop there but
5:33
other than that the device has a nice aesthetic in terms of just a display it is not curved in any way and also we do have a under display fingerprint sensor so that why there no fingerprint sensor on the button or behind or any sort
5:49
So really nicely included it under the display. And while this is doing whatever it's doing right now
5:56
I'm going to flip it over to the back and you can see the quadruple camera setup right here
6:01
And we do have a main sensor which is a 48 megapixel white sensor
6:06
Then we have an 8 megapixel Ultra, 2 megapixel macro and 2 megapixel depth sensor
6:12
And when you combine these, oh, maybe not combine, but when you use the 48 megapixel
6:18
you can shoot at 4K 30, 1080p 30 and 720p has a slow motion of 480 frames
6:26
So let me quickly finish up this setup here. And the cameras, I assume you cannot shoot at 60 probably because of the limitations of the
6:36
processor but I could be completely wrong because I think I've seen
6:41
Snapdragon 750 something 2.60 at least a 1080p it's not nothing really
6:47
challenging here so not exactly sure why you cannot do it on this device but
6:56
other than that the thing that I'm curious in the camera setup is the micro and
7:00
depth sensor for the most part they are usually just garbage lenses with
7:06
or sensors leaf don't do anything really apart from making the photos look worse than they should
7:12
and on here we do have a 5 megapixel instead of the typical 2 megapixels so I am really curious
7:19
how this will how this will make the photos come out so let's start off and get a look
7:26
for some reason this is really yellow like way more than it should be
7:36
Let me quickly like I am I'm not really sure what is happening
7:46
This is nothing not something that I want. Can I change it so
8:06
white balancing here is just completely trash this is not a white in any way
8:15
so you can see it right here why why my disappointment here is immeasurable so clearly this is the
8:30
frame I can clearly see it doesn't look like a like I'm living in a bay
8:36
which I am but this is just what is this it just
8:43
it just no why whatever okay let's move on just capture a couple photos maybe oh
8:55
this is this is really painful okay I think I know what the problem here is I
9:04
I think it's catching up the, I mean, I like the device and show you
9:09
So I do have this light right over here, which is a really warm light
9:15
And I think the camera, even though I can't see it on screen
9:21
I think the camera is still catching it when I hold it like so
9:27
So even though I can't really see it on the frame right here
9:31
I think it still somehow sees it and just, makes it, I don't know, tries to adjust for it or something, I don't exactly know
9:38
Because if you switch it to, a little bit to the side, for instance, like, yeah, let me just quickly show you what I mean
9:46
So if we move it to the side, it goes to normal
9:50
It is color, in terms of color reproduction, how it should look like, at least close enough
9:57
While the, or was it, well the previous photo is, well, not really okay so I'm gonna capture it from like a weird angle just to try to
10:11
remove that yellowish filth that is just crashing the display but it's making it really hard
10:20
honestly there's some weird glitching going out with the camera where it's trying to
10:34
change the exposure. But anyway, I did capture a photo right here. And to be fair, the photo
10:43
is fairly sharp. I really like the fact that it did do a really good job about just distinguishing
10:49
what is the background and what is the foreground. So the foreground will be the cactus itself
10:54
And as you can see, the needles right here are basically in full sharpness. So that's really nice
11:01
OFTALITY OTHERALY IS NOTING TO Brague about. As you can see, this is just blurry as anything that I have seen, but it is at a bit of a further distance
11:11
I will try to see if I can get a little bit closer before I start losing the just overly
11:19
sharpness I think this is as close as I can get So let see that again Okay so this is looking much better I would say as but
11:32
Sharpness is a little bit off. If I move it to the middle, as you can see, it loses that sharpness, but if we move it to the side, that is where the focus was
11:41
And honestly, it looks okay. It could have looked better, especially for the 48 megapixel sensor
11:48
pixel sensor. This is not the best I have seen. But in its defense there is a macro
11:56
lens which I am about to test and see if does if it does the job better than the
12:01
48 megapixel. So... here we go. So this is the macro. And I do have to say it
12:18
it did a better job than the 48 megapixels. So the macro here is usable
12:25
It's not the best. It still lacks behind an actual macro lens
12:33
but this is a budget device and the, well, maybe not budget but mid-range device
12:38
And still, it does come out fairly okay, I would say. Now I'll probably make an unfair comparison right here
12:46
and bring my phone in just to show a little bit of a comparison right here
12:53
and this device probably at the moment if you try to buy it new
12:57
if it's so you can still get it performs better than this most likely and it will capture
13:04
photos better than this device hands down so this is a really beat-up
13:12
a Maze 20 Pro but just as an example I mean capture a photo right here
13:32
So this is an actual macro. So as you can see there is not much of a comparison here
13:43
This is on a whole new level. Well, the price of it is not much higher, I would say, at the moment
13:52
I can even capture one more. Let's do it from the top, just to..
13:59
There we go. So, as you can see, this is not really comparable, I would say
14:09
even though this device costs about 300 right now, something like that
14:19
I might be a little bit wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can buy it around this price
14:23
and it will blow this phone out of the water with the downside of it being a Huawei
14:29
So yeah, now moving further on, we already touched up on the camera, the macro one and just a normal 48 megapixel
14:39
So let's see if there's any kind of portrait which will usually look, use the depth sensor
14:50
I don't really see any kind of... Yeah, I don't really see any way to use just the depth sensor right here
15:03
Usually you do have a portrait mode which you can turn on and this will obviously
15:08
obviously use the depth one but here I don't really see a portrait mode and I'm not
15:15
exactly sure which one, which one of the lenses will use the depth sensor for all
15:20
I know the normal photo mode could have used it but I have no clue honestly so I
15:28
cannot really say anything about the depth sensor it might be good it might not be
15:32
I guess if you use this device for a longer time and you find
15:37
some kind of portrait mode or if it does automatically detect it
15:42
then you can probably gauge if it's doing better job with it or without it
15:49
But at this moment, I can't really say anything about it. So that's one of the things that I'll need to skip here
15:56
Now moving on to the selfie right here. So this is the selfie
16:07
And honestly it looks okay. I'm not complaining here. The colors of it are okay
16:17
The background is still visible. It doesn't have any kind of like annoying cutouts
16:22
I know it might be a little bit hard to see on the camera but I can see it
16:28
It's still, you can still see the individual hair so there is no weird smoothing going on
16:33
And it is okay photo, I do have to say. say for a for 20 megapixel it does a good job at capturing it okay so now
16:44
moving on to the actual specifications of the device it does come with like I said
16:49
before Snapdragon 750 which is a 5G chip so you are in a way future proof for
16:56
the 5G connectivity it does have just a single variant in terms of storage so 128 but you can expand it further via an SD card if you wanted it to And you do have three different options in terms of RAM So you have four six and eight
17:12
gigabyte RAM. And honestly, if you're buying this device, I would probably stay away from the
17:17
four and go for six. That would be probably like the best option. You could push it to eight if you
17:24
want to, but I don't think it will matter that much between six and eight. But I believe four might be a
17:30
little bit too low and it does have a 5,000 million hour battery so that is
17:37
really nice but what isn't nice as a charger that it comes with which is a 15 watt charger and reminiscent of the devices from 2015 I assume they are still
17:47
scared that their phones are gonna start blowing up like their notes did but you
17:53
already had enough time to fix the problem and literally everybody else even
17:58
the budget devices can outperform this in terms of charging with a better charger
18:03
The device that I literally unpacked a second ago, which was a POCO M3
18:09
budget device that comes at half of the price of this one
18:13
and it has a better charger. What is the price here? So the charger here is just trash
18:21
I just put it this way, and the cable kind of also looks like it's straight out of just China
18:27
the way it just looks like super cheap looking. super cheap looking, no branding of Samsung or of any sorts or anything, so yeah the
18:36
charger here isn't necessarily the best. And moving on, like I said before, we do have
18:44
under fingerprint at the sensor, so that is really nice. Honestly, while I'm talking further
18:50
about specifications, I'm gonna set it up just so you can see how it works and how
18:55
quick it is so well I'm doing that I'm going to keep mentioning the device does
19:02
come with NFC so you can use this phone if you want to pay for stuff at the
19:06
store so that is really nice there we go and also you do have something that is a
19:13
little bit weird of them from you already which is a three and a half
19:17
millimeter headphone jack which is located at the bottom if you can see it so
19:22
you can plug in your favorite cans and use it for music which to some people it still matters and other than that
19:31
there's not much more I can say about it it does come with three different color
19:35
variants okay so we have the prison dot black prison that white and prison
19:44
dot gray which this was the gray here we go here's the fingerprint sensor so you
19:51
can so you can see that it is working okay-ish it's not the fastest it's not even close to mediocre I would say it is on a
20:03
slow side I would say so if I try to move it to this side you can see how quick from
20:11
when I press it it unlocks it so it does take a good second or longer just for it to unlock
20:19
and honestly it seems a little bit slow if you have some kind of easy pattern you will
20:25
probably unlocked the device quicker with the pattern than with the fingerpin sensor here
20:29
Um, but there's also face recognition if you wanted to use that, which let me quickly see
20:36
It might be incorrect about it. I don't know there we go there is the face recognition
20:42
So let's quickly add that as well. Do you wear glasses? No, not at the moment at least
20:50
Okay, so let me quickly check my face. And there we go, so let's add it, done done
21:02
So let's see how quick that works. Now I'm going to have to angle it a little bit towards me so it can actually see me
21:11
So it doesn't actually unlock the display to the home screen but I can see the screen lock
21:17
So I think fingerprint this fast. than this actually. So the face recognition isn't necessarily anything great either
21:31
here. And like I said, at the end of the day this device comes at around $300 and if you're willing to go with some Chinese phone like this one, which is the Huawei
21:43
it's probably going to be around the same price with the difference of this one caught, well being better in my opinion
21:50
It's going to be more certainly faster, take better photos, have better this place ollut
21:54
basically be better in everything apart from not being spyware basically assuming
22:03
everything is correct because like I said this is a Huawei phone but it does cost
22:10
significantly less in terms of what you get with it for the price so this
22:16
device to me seems a little bit overpriced if you're just looking for a
22:21
sensing device then I guess it's okay But if you're looking for your best bank for your buck, I wouldn't recommend this phone, and that's just my opinion here
22:31
