Why do all the cases for A42 have a did for a flash that isn't on the phone.

[Android Central Question]

I recently got a Galaxy A42 5G and was looking for a case for it, but every case I find shows a phone with 4 lenses on the back on a flash below? My A42 has 3 lenses with the flash making the square. I can't find a case without that extra pocket for the flash.

Welcome to Android Central! It looks like they're all confusing the Galaxy A42 5G with the M42 5G (which does have the flash at the bottom edge of the stovetop). This is puzzling -- not sure why they would make such a broad mistake. It doesn't look like there are any regional variations for the A42 5G. Let me look a little more ...

EDIT: I found one, but this still doesn't explain such a major discrepancy. https://smile.amazon.com/LEEGU-Prot...y+a42+5g+case+3+camera&qid=1625710861&sr=8-15

A lot of reviews of the phone show a quad-camera setup with the offset flash, but the official Samsung site shows the 3 rear-camera setup (and the Best Buy listing also shows that).
