The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G was Samsung's first affordable 5G phone with a Super AMOLED display and an optical in-display fingerprint sensor. Powered by the Snapdragon 750G — Qualcomm's dedicated budget 5G chipset — it delivers genuine sub-6GHz 5G connectivity alongside vivid AMOLED visuals on a 6.6-inch screen. Screen replacement near Pinner starts at £75 at our Ruislip workshop, approximately 5 minutes away via Pinner Road. Because the in-display sensor is part of the AMOLED panel, all fingerprints must be re-registered after every screen swap — a step we complete and test before handover. The A42 5G's 5000mAh battery also makes it worth preserving with a battery replacement at £45 if runtime has declined.

When Samsung launched the Galaxy A42 5G in late 2020, it filled a genuine gap: an affordable 5G phone with a Super AMOLED screen and in-display fingerprint sensor. The competing budget 5G phones at the time mostly used LCD displays and side-mounted fingerprint sensors. The A42 5G's Snapdragon 750G is Qualcomm's purpose-built 5G chip for the mid-range — it supports sub-6GHz 5G bands used by EE, O2, Vodafone and Three across the UK, making it a genuinely useful 5G upgrade for users on 5G contracts near Pinner.
One important consideration with any A42 5G screen replacement is the in-display optical fingerprint sensor. This sensor uses light emitted by the AMOLED pixels to read fingerprints — it is physically part of the screen module, not a separate component. When the screen is replaced, the stored fingerprint data is cleared and all fingerprints must be re-enrolled. We verify the sensor's responsiveness with the new panel before returning the phone. Both standard and original Samsung OEM panels are compatible with the sensor.
