Pros and cons
According to our mobile phone expert
- The screen of this device is sharper than that of comparable smartphones.
- You can place both an extra SIM card and a memory card in this device.
- Thanks to Samsung Adaptive Fast Charge, you can charge your smartphone superfast.
- Due to the smaller battery, the A40 doesn't last as long as the Samsung Galaxy A50.
- The photos aren't as beautiful as those made with other smartphones from this price range.
Description
On the 64GB storage memory of the Samsung Galaxy A40 Black, you have space for 30,000 photos or 9,000 songs. The Samsung A40 has a dual camera of 16 and 5 megapixels. Thanks to the wide-angle lens, you can also capture large groups and tall buildings. The Samsung Galaxy A40 has very thin edges, making the 5.9-inch full-HD screen appear extra large. Moreover, the sharp selfie camera with 25 megapixels is incorporated in a drop-shaped notch. You switch smoothly between different apps, thanks to the 4GB memory. The A40 also supports Samsung Adaptive Fast Charge, which means you can charge the battery considerably faster. Are you bad at remembering PIN codes? You can easily unlock the Samsung A40 with the fingerprint sensor on the back of the device.

Compact smartphone with good value for money.
- Compact model due to thin screen edges
- small notch
- Facial recognition works smoothly
- No slow motion video mode
I really like this smartphone, because it is nice and compact, because of the thin screen edges and the small notch. Even in a lot of sunlight, the screen is easy to read, with beautiful colors. The camera works intuitively and delivers beautiful photos in different conditions (indoors, outdoors, evening, night,...). Highly recommended!

- Beautiful design

- Battery lasts average but lasts well for a day
Great budget phone. Nice little model. If you want a not too big smartphone, this is highly recommended. The camera is of excellent quality, the front camera is very sharp. The battery quality is average but the phone lasts well for a day, it also has a fast charger so that it is fully charged after half an hour. The design is also very beautiful. Available in different colours.
