This is my last cellphone, and when I updated it on the latest software, after a week its okay but then suddenly starting restart nonstop and the wifi is not working. Then I go to the nearest repair shop, it said that it needs to reprogram because the motherboard (idk he said something like that, but then my phone is came from outside of my country it'll take a while to repair it, so my choice is I did not repair it, maybe I'll just buy a new phone, but then what my purpose for this comment is after my update it got corrupt, I hope you fix that kind of problem.

          Kalib Tech Inc , 26 Apr 2024Guys pls How many hours of screen time can I get with this phone in 2024 I'm considerin... moreI charge it overnight and use it the whole day. So I'd say a good 12 hours or more if you're not using battery consuming apps like racing games. I bought mine end of 2021 and I'm still using it now

                                has anyone got their A42 officially updated to A13? I'm curious because this phone is being sold new/sealed at a bargain price at the moment.

                                    DANIEL , 16 Dec 2023I own this smartphone series and it does not have an update to Android 13.Yep Samsung lied to us by claiming a series phones in 2020 or later would get three os updates but as it turns out Samsung likes to only update it's phones if they're one of their favourite countries
