If you don't want 5G, Galaxy F41 is a great device with similar specs. But all these huge battery ones from Samsung have really slow charging despite claiming Fast charge support. Somehow Samsung's 15W Adaptive Fast Charging is much slower than Qualcomm's 18W QuickCharge.

Uhh, 4GB of RAM in Europe? My country sells this phone for ฿11,900 (a bit more at €328/$402) but already offers 8GB RAM here.
If you don't need 5G, Galaxy M51 would be a better choice at the same price (or a bit lower, depending on retailer) with larger battery, 1080p display, and faster charging. 730G isn't too far behind 750G in terms of performance and should be adequate enough.

What makes you believe 5G mmWave is disabled on the A42?
