Samsung Galaxy A40

Samsung’s A series may not be marketed as much as the S series but make no mistake, the A series is very close to the S series in terms of performance and specs. The Galaxy A40 is one of the lower end phones in Samsung’s A series with the A90 being at the top. It comes in a beautiful and sleek body with a measurement of 144.3 x 69.1 x 7.9 mm. It is available in black, white, blue and coral colors. Despite being cheaper than the S series, it looks just as good as it. Unlike the S10 series with its hole punch cut-out for the cameras or better known as the Infinity-O display, the A series comes with the typical notch display or what Samsung calls as Infinity-U display. The Galaxy A40 sports a 5.9-inch super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,340 pixels in a 19:5:9 ratio. The pixel count might not be as high as the S10 but the display is still very clear and crisp for media playback and gaming. Brightness is also on the higher side making it very usable outdoors. The screen covers most of the front side, with a screen-to-body ratio of 85.7 %. For the processor, it comes with Samsung’s very own Exynos 7885 octa core CPU paired with the Mali-G71 GPU. There is 4 GB of RAM coupled with 64 GB of internal storage and an additional support for micro SD memory card via the dedicated slot (up to 512 GB). In all, the specs are good enough for some playing most of the graphics demanding games including PUBG and Fortnite albeit not in extreme settings. As for the camera, the A40 comes with a dual camera setup. The main one is a 16 MP f/2.0 camera and the second one is a 5 MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera. The cameras should be able to provide decent photo qualities. It also shoots videos in 4K resolution. The front facing camera is a 25 MP camera capable of shooting in Full-HD. Like the S series, the A series also has that rather important 3.5 mm audio jack. Call it a feature but to some, it is a basic requirement. The fingerprint reader is mounted at the back, where many users prefer it to be. Its placement is perfect as the phone itself is on the smaller side and when held, the finger naturally rests on the reader. While the S series offers the latest Bluetooth 5.0, the A40 is still stuck with the older Bluetooth 4.2. However, it does come with NFC. Powering all these is a 3100 mAh battery which is rather small for today’s standards, but it supports fast charging via its Type-C port. Despite being on the cheaper side, the Samsung Galaxy A40 is packed with features such as the AMOLED display that users would normally look for in a flagship. In many ways, the A40 and its bigger sibling, the A50 competes with Samsung’s very own Galaxy S10e. It is priced at around half the price without losing too much of the specs.
