Compact phone with big screen

Samsung Galaxy A40 is equipped with a "compact" 5.9-inch Super AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and the Infinity-U notch that looks like the Vivo halo notch. The brain of the phone is the 2.2GHz 64-bit Exynos 7885 octa-core processor with Mali-G72 MP2 GPU for gaming.

It is coupled with 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, up to 512GB expandable storage with microSD, and 3,100mAh battery capacity.

The glass-like back

At the back, there's a 16MP main sensor paired with a 5MP ultra wide-angle lens. It also has a massive 25MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture size. By the megapixel size of its front camera, you can tell that Samsung positioned this device as a selfie-centric phone.

The phone also comes with a fingerprint scanner at the back, WiFi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth, GPS, and dual SIM slots.

It loads with Android 9 Pie OS with the new and clean One UI skin on the top. It measures at 144.3 x 69.1 x 7.9 mm and will come in black, blue, coral, and white color options.

Galaxy A40 is now up for pre-order for EUR 249 or around PHP 15K. It is said to officially launch on April 10.
