Samsung A40 design fits right in with the higher-end variants, like the Galaxy A50 or Galaxy A70. You have an all-screen front with a waterdrop notch that holds the selfie camera, and at the back, you have an oval-shaped fingerprint sensor, a dual camera setup at the top left, and the Samsung branding. The bezels are quite narrow, giving the phone a premium look when the screen is on.

For display, it has a 5.9-inch Super AMOLED screen which is classic Samsung. You get vivid colors, deep blacks, wide viewing angles, and high brightness levels. The display resolution is Full HD+ (2340×1080), which makes the screen quite sharp.

Camera wise, A40 have 2 rear cameras: a 16-megapixel primary camera and a 5-megapixel ultra-wide lens. With the ultra-wide camera, you can broaden your view to 123 degrees, which is very useful for photos of landscapes and large groups of people. The A40 has a 25-megapixel selfie camera inside the waterdrop notch; that’s more pixels than the rear camera, making the A40 a good option for selfie addicts. 

The Galaxy A40 is equipped with a modest 3,100 mAh battery. That’s enough for light to moderately heavy use throughout the day. In addition, Samsung has thrown in standard 15W fast charging into the mix.
