From these, the Galaxy A42 5G can use only two.Of considerable importance is thereby the incompatibility with the sub-GHz frequencies n28, n28. Sub-GHz frequencies are radio waves with physical properties that provide high area coverage and good indoor propagation of 5G. Thus, since the Galaxy A42 5G cannot use these frequencies on the TIM 5G network, you should expect significantly worse 5G coverage, especially in rural areas and inside of buildings.
What is more, the frequency bands offering higher speeds indoor are not compatible with the Galaxy A42 5G .
