The Samsung Galaxy M40 is the latest and best device in the Galaxy M-series. Launched in June 2019, the smartphone runs on One UI based on Android 9.0 Pie.
DESIGN AND DISPLAY
The design is not all that different from its predecessors. The Samsung Galaxy M40 has a front glass and a glossy plastic frame and body. The phone is a fingerprint magnet and scratches quite easily but isn’t too slippery and can be used comfortably on one-hand. On the left side of the device is the hybrid dual SIM card and microSD card tray. The hybrid SIM tray can accommodate either two Nano-SIMs or a single SIM and a microSD card (up to 512GB).
On the right are the power button and the volume rocker which is placed a little too high and requires the user to stress the thumb to reach it. The bottom part of the smartphone plays host to the USB-C and the speaker. The Smartphone follows the recent trend as it lacks a 3.5mm headphone Jack.
At the back, is a triple camera setup and an LED flashlight which is line up on the top left corner of the phone. The back also houses a fingerprint sensor in the middle, and the sensor just like the volume rocker is placed a little higher than it should have been.
The 6.3-inch display has Corning Gorilla Glass for scratch protection and a 1080×2340 pixels resolution. Just like the Samsung Galaxy M30, it uses a PLS TFT LCD panel. The display is bright and vibrant and has good viewing angles.
CAMERA
The three rear cameras on the Galaxy M40 consist of a 32MP primary sensor, an 8MP wide-angle sensor, and a 5MP depth sensor.
On the front is a 16MP front-facing selfie camera that delivers good-looking images, and works decently well.
PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY
The main specifications of the Galaxy M40 are identical to the more expensive Galaxy A70. Powered by an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor, with a 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage which is expandable with a microSD card up to 512GB.
The Battery life of the Galaxy M40’s is okay. The 3,500mAh battery will last the whole day with regular use on a single charge.
The smartphone runs One UI based on android 9.0 Pie.
Galaxy M40 is priced at NGN 105,560
