Editorial report

Oppo A40 technical sheet

The Oppo A40 suits buyers seeking a large, light, slim Android phone for everyday use, with an optically stabilized main camera and fast charging. Its trade-off is a modest display resolution and refresh rate, while performance is worse than most phones of its time.

The body weighs 186 g and is 7.68 mm thick, making it lighter than most phones and among the thinnest of its time. The 6.67-inch IPS LCD reaches 1,000 nits, but its 264 ppi density and 90 Hz refresh rate are worse than most phones of the period. A 5,100 mAh battery and 45W charging are typical for its time. The rear camera combines 50MP resolution, an f/1.8 aperture and optical stabilization; its resolution and aperture are typical among phones launched around the same time.

The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 scores 253,200 in AnTuTu, worse than most phones of its time. This version pairs 4GB of RAM with 256GB of expandable storage, and the Oppo A40 is also sold as 4GB / 128GB and 6GB / 128GB. Android 14, NFC, USB Type-C, Wi-Fi 6E, dual SIM and a 3.5mm audio jack make the setup practical. With a NeoScore of 5.8, the Oppo A40 is typical among phones of its time: a balanced choice for buyers who prioritize low weight, a stabilized camera and fast charging rather than power or display sharpness.
