Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy M40 brings a lot of innovative features to the affordable segment, including its Screen Sound casting technology and its punch hole display. What`s more, for the price, the handset offers good performance, capable cameras, and a slender design which looks beautiful, to say the least.Now, at the expense of sounding like a broken record, the Galaxy M40 is a good phone, but much like some other Samsung devices, it could`ve been priced more competitively. Therefore, if you want the most bang for your buck, you will still have to stick with Chinese OEMs for now. However, if you`...

Design and Display

The Samsung Galaxy M40's design proves that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. You see, from a distance, it's hard to tell the M40 apart from its closest sibling, the M30. In fact, if not for the newer pseudo-glass finish on the M40, I would've mistaken one for the other. Now, don't twist my words into thinking that the M40's design is bad. On the contrary, the Galaxy M40 is among the nicest looking phones in the market and between its fancy curves, slim girth and a unique chromatic ring which circles its rear camera, the handset leaves a lasting impression.

Performance, Battery life, and Software

The Samsung Galaxy M40 ships with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 675 processor which works alongside 6GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in, user-expandable storage. Unsurprisingly, the handset is competent enough to handle everyday tasks with ease and can even play most intensive games from the Play Store at medium to high settings. Case in point, PUBG Mobile which defaults to high settings on the phone and plays smoothly, though you will get better frame rates if you lower the graphics preset to HD.

With more and more manufacturers incorporating a 48MP sensor in their affordable offerings, it's surprising to see Samsung opt for a 32MP, f/1.7 aperture primary camera for its M40 smartphone. The primary camera works alongside a 5MP, f/2.2 aperture depth sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens with a 123-degree field of view. For selfies, the device ships with a 16MP front snapper with f/2.0 aperture.

It goes without saying that buyers seeking the most bang for their buck should still pick up the Redmi Note 7 Pro, as it offers the same grunt under the hood as the M40 albeit ships with better cameras and a beefier cell. Similarly, the Realme 3 Pro (review) too offers the same core specs and outperforms Samsung's offering in the camera and the battery department.
