The Galaxy M series from Samsung is primarily focused on delivering mid-range quality to budget users. Samsung Galaxy M40 also belongs to this category as it brings features like Triple rear cameras, Corning Gorilla Glass, One UI and 6GB RAM to mention a few. Interestingly, the smartphone is priced aggressively to combat fellow players in the market.
Let’s see what this smartphone fully offers, shall we?
Samsung Galaxy M40 Features (Preview)
Highlighted by the punch-hole camera, the Samsung Galaxy M40 appears as a gorgeous piece from the fore. Turning backwards, you have plastic covering the body in a classy way. The plastic shell is so furnished that you might mistake it for glass. Nonetheless, a triple camera array can be seen at the rear’s top left corner. Add that to the fingerprint scanner and Samsung logo, you’ve got a fully settled rear design.
Portability is revealed by the 7.9mm thickness and 168g weight of the smartphone. What makes it even more sleek is the presence of the 6.3 inches capacitive touchscreen. So large a screen that it comes with19.5:9 aspect ratio and 87% screen-to-body ratio. This enormous display is accompanied by a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels for your viewing gusto.
The superb One UI teams up with Android 9.0 Pie OS to sort out the software actions on the device. Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 heads the phone’s hardware division. Designed with 11nm node process, the chip delivers optimal performance. Attached to it is a 4GB RAM in the standard edition while another version rocks 6GB RAM. Completing the memory department in the 4GB edition is a 64GB internal storage. As for the 6GB model, a 128GB ROM is what attends to the storage needs.
The duration marshal on this device is none other than the 3,500mAh Li-Po battery. Its optimization modes together with the chipset’s brilliance allows long lasting duration. Even when it gets low, the Fast Battery Charging 15W makes sure you don’t spend up to two hours charging your phone from 0 to 100%.
Reserving the best for the last, the camera department is what we’re to focus on now. The top camera in the triple array is a 32MP regular lens with f/1.7 aperture. Supporting it are the 8MP ultra-wide lens and 5MP depth sensor. Fantastic selfies and videos can be captured by the frontal 16MP shooter.
