Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy M40

66% Samsung Galaxy A60/M40 review
Source: GSM Arena Archive.org version
As you've probably gathered by now, we find it hard to recommend the Galaxy A60 in the presence of phones such as the Realme X, the Mi A3, and the Redmi K20/Mi 9T in the same price range. Unfortunately, the Galaxy A60 has almost nothing going for it except for its rather decent battery life endurance and good computational performance.

Samsung Galaxy M40 Review
Source: Mobygyaan Archive.org version
While the Samsung Galaxy M40 is the top-end model in the lineup, there’s no denying the fact that Samsung has cut a few corners with this smartphone. The phone doesn’t have an AMOLED display, 3.5mm headphone jack and comes with a lower capacity battery. These are the downgrades that don’t make the phone worthy of its ₹19,990 price tag.

65% Samsung Galaxy M40 review: Short of perfect
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
A really good package, the Samsung Galaxy M40 brings an excellent design, solid ergonomics, and reasonably good cameras to the table. Dips in performance and mediocre battery life, when placed next to the competition, make it fall short of perfection.

75% Samsung Galaxy M40 Review: The M in the Middle?
Source: Tech PP Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy M40 has a lot going for it. But unless you are a gaming fan who is crazy about the Samsung brand, we are not too sure where it is headed. It is easily the most powerful M series device, but its pricing puts it in a very odd place.

66% Samsung Galaxy M40 review: Short of perfect
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy M40 is a good phone that falls just short of excellence. It isn’t quite the perfect package, but it might be the phone for you if design excellence ranks higher than overall performance in your books. What do you think about the Galaxy M40? Is this the phone to take away the crown from Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7 Pro or is the smaller battery and weak camera enough of a deterrent?

80% Samsung Galaxy M40 Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy M40 crams in a tonne of features, which instantly makes it a very attractive option even amongst Samsung's other A-series and M-series offerings. Some of its highlight features are segment firsts, such as the Screen Sound tech for voice calls and a hole-punch display. Add to that the ample RAM and storage and the powerful SoC — all of it sounds too good to be true. However, Samsung has had to cut a few corners to sell the Galaxy M40 at this price.

Samsung Galaxy M40 Review
Source: The Mobile Indian Archive.org version
Samsung Galaxy M40 is the company’s best attempt to give a stiff competition to its rivals in this price band. The company has introduced some new features like the punch-hole design. The performance is slightly better as compared to the other Samsung smartphones at this price range. The display looks good, though it is not as punchy as OLED screens present in other Samsung smartphones. Furthermore, the absence of the 3.5mm audio jack and inclusion of Type-C headsets might turn against it. That said, it is still a better device from Samsung in this price band.

75% Samsung Galaxy M40 review: A unique display but Galaxy A50 offers a lot more
Source: India Today Archive.org version
The Galaxy M40 is a sweet addition to the Galaxy M lineup, but one cannot deny that Samsung has cut quite a few corners with this one. The reason Galaxy M30 and Galaxy M20 worked is because they offered a robust set of features at aggressive prices.The Galaxy M40, on the other hand, misses an AMOLED display, drops the headphone jack and chops down the battery, which are some serious downgrades for its price of Rs 19,990.

80% Samsung Galaxy M40 review: A great option for most people
Source: The Indian Express Archive.org version
Samsung Galaxy M40 appears to be a decent phone for the price. Yes, there are multiple options in the market like the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Moto G7, but still I genuinely liked the Galaxy M40. It gets a lot of things right, and that’s what matters to average users at the end of the day. If you are looking to buy a mid-range smartphone that offers a large display for watching videos, has a respectable camera and looks stylish, I think you should probably consider the Galaxy M40.

Samsung Galaxy M40 review: Get the Galaxy A50 instead
Source: Sam Mobile Archive.org version
So, yeah, the verdict is that you should get the Galaxy A50 and simply ignore the Galaxy M40. If the Galaxy M40 drops in price below the Galaxy A50, it might become easier to recommend, although the price will have to drop considerably for that to happen. It’s great to see that Samsung is offering you multiple options in a similar price range, something it has never done before, but this round goes to the Galaxy A50.

On the other hand, the excellent display, great ergonomics and versatile camera are all useful additions that improve usability in a meaningful way.

Samsung Galaxy M40 Quick Review
Source: The Mobile Indian Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy M40 is surely one of the best-designed smartphones from Samsung in this price range. The phone is equipped with a compact form factor and the display looks immersive in nature. The hardware used is fair good and the company is giving you some decent camera hardware as well. The battery seems to be a down point and the device will face stiff competition from the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro, Realme 3 Pro, Nokia 8.1, and more.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

SD 675: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 460 cores (two fast 2 GHz ARM Cortex-A76 based cores in a cluster and six power saving ARM Cortex-A55 based cores at 1.6 GHz) and a rather slow Adreno 612 GPU.

Only a few smartphones have larger screens.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

Only few smartphones are more lightweight than this.
