Samsung Galaxy A40 Review

It's a new breed of Samsung midrange phones so let's kick this off with Samsung Galaxy A40 review!

[@QuickExpertReviews]

Are you thinking of buying one or considering something else, like P30 Lite for example?

[@belaistbela]

Really considering it over Xiaomi alternatives (cheaper: note 7, more expensive: Mi 9 SE), really dig the size + oled but "glastic" & battery life are a turnoff for me and they disabled an always on display mode for the affordable price range, didn't they?

[@QuickExpertReviews]

It all depends on what you're going to use it for. It's not bad per se, and as you've mentioned the AMOLED screen and size are really decent. Then there's a lot of internal (expandable) and even UHQ audio upscaler (for headphones), but at the same time the Xiaomi alternatives (Note 7 for £179) are good enough. All depends on use case.

[@adk4986]

Don't get p30 lite as huawei skin sucks and is too heave on huawei phones

[@Marcus01285]

I got one and its great

[@googlereviewer1944]

4:18 Those menu transition look so lagggy and slow??

[@emilyholloway5445]

[@janisjaunslavietis983]

I have J3 Pro😅 I ordered A40 today

[@Dafxbeau]

OMG HHA SAME I GOT MA J3 RN TOO BUT IM BUYING A40 SOON

[@joanelizabethmiguel5443]

It is not made of glass it is actually made of plastic but the light reflects on it that's why samsung called it "glasstic" 😂 I don't know but this sounds funny 😂

[@anonymix4790]

I have the same phone but i've got other headphones. I bought it 8.9.2019.

[@alexheath3650]

Looking forward to getting this phone for xmas this year.

Bought it but I am not allowed to open it until Christmas

[@eliminatorofevil8140]

I love it when they call it a mid range phone, i would not pay a fortune for a phone like some people do to me its a waste of money.

[@BitZapple]

This thing makes for a great secondary phone I am sure.

[@meganhugehs]

Just ordered one 😁 so excited 😁

[@Hiluluk89]

Can u use the selfie camera to take landscape photos since it has more megapixels or should u still use the back camera for that? thanks for the video!

[@QuickExpertReviews]

I would still advise back facing camera due to brighter aperture and larger pixels. The front facing one didn't impress me that much, dynamic range is non existent

[@montygill2835]

"Glasstic" I like it.

[@lastonmars3566]

Might he get AOD display in the next update?

[@deffonotluke]

Should I get this or the Moto G7 Power?

[@clownworldcartoons]

This is the exact thing I'm wondering at the moment.

[@deffonotluke]

@@clownworldcartoons I went with the A40 and I highly recommend it

[@clownworldcartoons]

@@deffonotluke Cool, thanks. I'm leaning more towards this as well.

[@varunaeeriyaulla]

You can't find some of samsung apps (official) outside of the Galaxy Store. THey can push updates more easier than Google playstore. That's why they have both.

[@s..t..e..v..e..]

If you're in the UK you can purchase this A40 from major retailers for ~£220 and claim £40 cashback directly from Samsung at the moment making this a £180 handset! Promotion is running for about another week. See links to cashback from the phone on sites like John Lewis, Amazon, Argos, Carphone Warehouse etc.

[@teabackup2515]

Steve Morgan hello I have a question where do you think is the best shop to buy a40 (I live in uk)

[@s..t..e..v..e..]

​@@teabackup2515 Well the cashback promotion has ended now, so much of a muchness. Depends if you want to pick up in a physical store or order online to some degree, although many sellers can offer both (CPW, Argos, John Lewis). Purely for price you may find an Amazon Market place seller to be best.

[@yael0814]

only the selfie cam is so good to be true. Beauty plus ,indeed! im so dissapointed. just bought 2 days ago.

[@yael0814]

i need to download other app for selfie cam to captured a natural look.. gosh! still cant get over.. worst front cam ever!

[@dhilsiva]

@@yael0814 please tell me more about the front camera.

[@yael0814]

@@dhilsiva ds cam is absolutely a beauty cam,. even your mole isnt visible anymore because of the filter. contrast and brightness very high.. hahaha

[@dhilsiva]

@@yael0814 that's so sad. Do you know other phones which have a good front camera? How about the Samsung S10e or the Pixel 3a?

[@aabm9336]

My angel what are you saying.I got this one and main camera is so good and take good photos why you say only selfie camera is good?

[@shahjaszler01]

But this phone is not available in my country...

[@datsirdstive6121]

[@mohhosek6597]

I will to buy samsung a40 but nothing in indonesian? Can you healp me for can the phone a40?

[@ViperzDesign]

After 2 years or it slows down considerably with almost full 64gb usage

[@sudostanatolischerstraenka5166]

I'm waiting for this phone to drop under 200€ then I'll get it currently using an A6+

[@s..t..e..v..e..]

​@Jatz In the UK (if you have a way to buy here) they are running a Samsung cashback promo (ends in about a week), £40 cashback to be claimed making this a £180 handset here!

[@albrini8850]

now they are buy it

[@zynx_au8818]

A40 or m20?? Suggestions

[@QuickExpertReviews]

What's M20?

[@zynx_au8818]

Quick Expert Reviews Samsung m20

[@alexheath3650]

M20 has better battery life but other than that it's the same but A40 is cheaper

[@nikolaj97]

Dude u have 4gb of ram, idk how u read 3 xD

[@QuickExpertReviews]

True! Might be getting older or something.

[@podge1549]

I saw that too just about to comment

[@shahjaszler01]

Nice video...

[@yaboislameye5245]

I even got the same color as you.

[@Arturokene]

Im looking forward of buying this phone. Do you recommend it?

[@AmirEpix]

It feels good in hand and it's so light (140g only!) The cameras are not that bad and the phone definitely worth the money. I recommend it for daily and easy jobs, apps and games like whatsapp and instagram not heavy games like pubg or asphalt 9

[@theandroidgamer8893]

@@AmirEpix How much fps does this phone runs on?

[@greekgamer5397]

[@QuickExpertReviews]

Thanks!

[@ViperzDesign]

I got a A40 for christmas after not having a phone for 7 months because my shid iphone proccesorr went corrup

[@ViperzDesign]

Its quite ironic since my A40 has compltely left this earth due to cpu frying. I moved to xiaomi note 11 Pro 5g

[@CaverDance]

So if u get a black a40 you get a black charger and earphones, wow I'm gonna get that!

[@EMDS04]

A40 or P30 lite

[@hyliansword7127]

A40

[@brachbrach]

the p30 lite has slitly better battery life and a little bit of a better camera but except from that the a40 is jus as good a phone and cheaper I'd go for the a40

I don't have access to A30, might come in 2 weeks time, but for now I only have A40, A50 and A70. I'll definitely get A30 tho

[@catalinaalexandraneagoie614]

@@QuickExpertReviews thank you!

[@faizal8800]

If you like a compact smartphone, samsung galaxy A40 will be a good choice

[@podge1549]

A40 has a higher pixel density, better selfie camera, and the A30 has a chin almost double the size. I've got the A40 and it's great.

[@BitZapple]

Go for the A40 for sure, it's the sweet spot!

[@misspenguin1839]

Camera wise which is better a40 or huawei p20lite ?

[@QuickExpertReviews]

If we're talking about P20 Lite from 2018 then it's the A40 that's better, bevauce of it's aperture of f/1.7 which means it captures more light in low light scenarios (both do decent job in normal conditions).

[@ostapsuta5687]

Ignoring the camera, what would you say is better, A40 or P30 Lite?

[@QuickExpertReviews]

There's an upcoming comparison of A50 vs P30 Lite (and A50 review in progress), and A70, and Huawei Y7 and Xiaomi Mi 9.... Sorry, back to the studio Going back to your question about A40 vs P30 Lite, what are you going to use it phone for?

[@ostapsuta5687]

@@QuickExpertReviews Streaming video and music, browsing, and maybe gaming (nothing like PUBG though)

[@QuickExpertReviews]

Even though P30 Lite has one of the best LCD screens on the market it's not an AMOLED, so for streaming video I'd go with Samsung. Also the audio quality is better (upscales low quality to high quality via headphones)

[@ostapsuta5687]

@@QuickExpertReviews Alright, thanks for your help.

[@ostapsuta5687]

Which has the better battery out of the two, I know the P30 lite has a bigger battery, but it also comes with a bigger screen, so which would last longer?

[@fanisvlahogiannis9926]

A40 or Redmi note 7, they're the same price in my country. What do y'all think

[@QuickExpertReviews]

Redmi note 7 is on the way to Quick Expert Reviews so expect my answer shortly.

[@pickle24]

A40
