Samsung Galaxy M40 Review
Given the price the smartphone goes for, Samsung still packages some impressive features and standout specs on the Galaxy M40. Let us take a deeper look at the features and specifications.
Body and Design
The Galaxy M40 comes in a polycarbonate body, although the back has a completely different gradient design where the curled sides have a somewhat lighter shade of blue, and the other flat part is deep blue. With its large 6.3-inch display, the phone still feels compact in hand. It is important to note though, that the polycarbonate material is very prone to scratches. With that main glass front, it is advisable to get a screen guard and a phone case to protect the phone.
Display
The Samsung Galaxy M40 features a 6.3-inch TFT LCD with full HD-Plus screen resolution. The screen setup allows the smartphone to attain a high screen ratio of about 90 percent. The viewing angles are with extreme brightness and it also boasts amazing sunlight legibility.

One of the most outstanding features is the camera. The Samsung Galaxy M40 has a triple-camera setup on the rear, which is a better improvement compared to some other phones in the series.

Samsung Galaxy M40: Things May Not Like About The Smartphone
Front Camera Should Be Better: Camera quality tells a whole lot about a smartphone today. Do not be deceived by the on-paper 16 MP front camera. Based on user reviews and reports, the front camera is not as spectacular as it seems. Not the best return for the Samsung series.
