Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy M40 technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy M40 suits buyers after a sharp display and broad connectivity in a slim phone, but asks them to accept a small battery and slow charging by the standards of its time. Its 3,500 mAh capacity and 15 W charging are below average for phones launched around then, making battery capacity the clearest compromise.
The 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has 409 ppi, higher than on most phones of its time. At 168 g, the phone is lighter than average, and design and display overall are above average. Its 6 GB of RAM is also above average, while its AnTuTu result of 177,250 is below average. Performance and hardware overall nevertheless stand above average.
The main camera pairs 32 MP resolution, above average, with an f/1.7 aperture, among the best on phones of its time. Its 1/2.8″ sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time. The camera overall is above average; the phone also has an 8 MP ultrawide camera and 4K recording at 30 fps. Connectivity is better than on most phones of its time, with NFC, USB Type-C, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0. The overall NeoScore is 4.3. It is a sensible fit for buyers who put the display, cameras, and connections ahead of battery capacity.
