Replacement battery included with a screen repair, excluding Note 4, S5, J7 (2016), J5 (2016), J5 and J3 (2016) models. But inevitably you do have to make some compromises with a phone of this price, so are they too great or does the Galaxy A40 strike the right balance? Read on to find out. Screen As noted above, there’s a high screen-to-body ratio. This is achieved by just having a slim bezel below the display and a tiny notch at the top, and it ensures the phone is more manageable in the hand than you might expect a handset with a 5.9-inch screen to be, though those with smaller hands will still have to employ both to use it comfortably.Memory comes in at 64GB, and with a microSD card slot as well there should be more than enough room for most users. Connectivity options meanwhile include Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC. Verdict It measures 144.3 x 69.0 x 7.9mm and we were easily able to hold and operate the phone in one hand during our time with it. And there’s a 25MP f/2.0 camera on the front. That’s a high megapixel count and it ensures selfies are sharp. Of course, megapixels aren’t everything, but this puts in a decent showing overall. There are also a number of modes and tools for this snapper, such as a beauty mode and AR emoji. Features Out of all of Samsung's new A series line-up, the Galaxy A40 is the easiest to hold in one hand as it's the shortest and narrowest of the bunch.

And with that aspect ratio it has a modern, wide-screen look. Samsung has also kept bezels to a minimum, delivering a roughly 85.5% screen-to-body ratio – a ratio which not so long ago would have been rare even on flagships.The Samsung Galaxy A40 has a 3,100mAh battery. That’s not massive for a phone with a 5.9-inch screen and indeed this is one of the weaker aspects of the handset, as while it should see you through a day you’ll definitely need to charge this every night. There are lots of phones that we could say the same about, so it’s not a disaster, but it is a disappointment. And the Samsung Galaxy A40 runs Android 9 Pie, so its software is up to date, though being a somewhat budget phone we wouldn’t count on this getting a fast update to Android Q when that lands later in 2019.
