This time Samsung really try to do some thing new and special with Galaxy M series and you will admire that.The Samsung Galaxy M40 brings a lot of interesting features and changes in the previous Galaxy M series of Smartphones.Galaxy M40 has three major highlights in my view1. Infinity O Display/Punch hole Display2. Hardware(Screen Sound Technology, On Board features)3. Triple CamerasThanks to this Galaxy M40 should be the most affordable smartphone to feature a Punch hole Display and I Love it. The punch on is on the left here. But, it still gives the M40 a very S10e while and It sure looks good. Now so like the subtle transitions on the punch or when you use face lock or when you open up the selfie cap. Now it's really cool and this means the Galaxy M40 looks great from the front. So, thanks to the punch hole this is a good looking smartphone now.What would have made better things even better is an AMOLED display like the other Galaxy M series. But, sadly that wasn't to be this. Here is a Bezel-Less 6.3" FHD+ 2340X1080P PLS TFT LCD display with 91.8\\% usable Screen to body Ratio and protection of Corning Gorilla Glass V3. Immersive 19.5:9 screen ratio seems pretty good and looks wider in viewing video files. The display has vibrant colours and it's pretty bright. Overall a very pleasing display not ambulant but definitely decent. I also like the brightness of the display. So even If you know you're someone who uses your phone outdoors a lot in bright sunlight. You really wouldn't have lot of problems reading in bright sunlight.The next highlight of the Galaxy M40 is it's Hardware.Samsung Galaxy M40 comes with the Snapdragon 675 processor and Adreno 612 GPU with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of Internal storage and it expandable upto 512GB. I'm using 400GB Micro SD card for saving my Personal files like Photos, Videos, Musics, Movies, Backups etc... Phone works perfectly after installing 400GB SD Card.Now the specs sound awesome for a Samsung mid-range right for a long time. Samsung's budget and Mid-range smartphones have been marred by underpart processors and the Galaxy M40 with the Snapdragon 675.Samsung Galaxy M40 has been smooth and nice for me in day to day tasks which is great. But I know you're wondering about gaming on the Galaxy M40. Adreno 612 GPU enhance the performance while gaming. The PUBG Mobile runs on high graphic settings default and game plays fairly smooth and nice. It's a good news for all PUBG lovers. Snapdragon 675 the performance definitely seems positive on Galaxy M40.This phone did not have traditional ear piece. So, the call quality is important for this device. This device comes with a Screen Sound Technology which the Screen vibrates the audio range to produce sound. While calling, You can place your ear in anywhere of the screen and You can here the voice. The call sound quality is good.The last highlight is the Triple Camera setup. It's not the same triple camera setup as the previous Galaxy M30. These ones are in upgraded. There's a 32 megapixel F/1.7 Aperture Primary camera and 8 megapixel F/2.2 123° ultra wide angle camera and 5 megapixel F/2.2 Live focus camera. Samsung also includes a Flash in rear . M40 can record 4k videos at 30fps and Super Slow-mo videos at 240fps. It also have super slow-mo and hyper lapse video recording options . Video is very stable and its quality is decent. Front camera its the usual 16 megapixel F/2.0 Aperture camera. Selfies and photos captured in rear cameras are good right the sharp and well detailed.Overall I like the fact of the Galaxy M40 comes with ultra wide angle lens. But apart from that I've really sure on the primary camera of the Galaxy M40. Because, I've always liked the Cameras on Samsung's phones and M40 is decent too due to the details and consistency is kind of surprise. Hopefully Samsung did a great job.Apart from that you get the usual buttons, the fingerprint scanner on the back, the USB C port. There is one thing missing. The head phone jack is gone now. This is rather bad news for budget smartphone buyers. But at least Samsung bundles USB C earphones with the phone. Anyway on the softly from the Galaxy M40 comes with OneUI on top of Android 9 Pie onboard which makes it the first smartphone in the M series to come with OneUI. This is the proper OneUI with the OneUI features, The features I'm talking about is the one-handed usage friendly UI which is something I really like very cool dark mode of navigation gestures and more plus the phone comes with the Android 9 features like detail well being. The Galaxy M40 seems pretty sorted on the software front now all that is good. This phone comes with Dolby Atmos mode that can be enabled only after you've plugged in your earphones. You'll really feel the difference in the sound quality.The fingerprint sensor, Which I really prefer over any in display fingerprint sensors for ease of use. But, which are slow and unpredictable. The Galaxy M40 has the fastest fingerprint sensor and It placed pretty appropriately as well. It have a face unlock as well which works equally well and I would prefer this even over the fingerprint sensor. In terms of building design the device is a very good size and it fits very well in hand, Not too heavy and feels really well balanced. At the back camera unit does elevate a little, But that doesn't seen like much of problem. It's all plastic which keeps the weight light. However it doesn't feel cheap or poor quality despite the low price point.Moving on to the batteries, The Galaxy M40 comes with a 3500mAh battery which does sound a bit modest and Samsung bundled a 15w fast charging adaptor on it. This charger charges the phone from 10\\% to 50\\% in around 30 minutes.Apart from that the phone has a hybrid sim slot. So you can either use dual sims or a sim card with a micro sd card well. This phone supports 512 GB additional Micro SD Card support. And the both Sim Slots supports Jio VoLTE.An another feature I like in this phone was, Every time you unlock you present it with a lock screen that contains a story. Now these lock screen stories change each time you lock and unlock your display. You can get more information about that particular lock screen story and you could flip or you could slide to access more of these. There's actually a setting inside lock screen. Where you could go to lock screen stories setting and you can choose categories from where you do want this feed or you can turn it off completely.Finally I would still go ahead and say that it does offer excellent value for money. So, If you want to stretch your budget and you're looking for a phone from one of the best smartphone makers around the world the Galaxy M40 is probably your answer for that. So, thats it from me. Hope you're enjoyed the review. If you've got any questions you can leave them in comment section below and I'm going to answer them to my best capacity.Thank you

I bought the Samsung Galaxy M40 after careful deliberation and research. I wanted the latest cutting edge features and best configuration possible in my restricted budget of 20K. Below are my detailed observations regarding the features that make the Samsung M40 stand head and shoulders above any similar phone in the same price bracket. Many of these features were earlier only available on flagship phones at twice the cost and I feel Samsung has aggressively and effectively shattered the glass ceiling on budget phones with the premium feature packed M40. I will also try to provide detailed insight and my practical first hand experience with the M40's features while using it. I hope it helps you in getting a comprehensive in-depth understanding of the features.Looks, Feel and Functionality:● Infinity-O Display : M40 is the first Smart phone in this price range to feature the Infinity-O display which was only available in the flagship S10 series till now. This feature enables an expanded screen size with a screen-to-body ratio greater than 91\\% with FHD+ resolution by minimising the bezel even further, thereby providing a larger screen size without actually increasing the size of the phone. In fact the M40 has the thinnest bezel in the Galaxy M range. The uninterrupted mesmerising edge-to-edge experience actually makes the display look bigger than the phone you're holding in your hand.● Punch hole front camera : The infinity-O display provides the solution to create a cut-out in the upper corner in which the Selfie camera is discreetly tucked away, accurately placed while maximising screen real estate and maintaining the larger screen-to-body ration with the minuscule almost-bezel-less display. This is not distracting at all unlike the previous in-your face notch in the center and I felt it is really a great unobtrusive placement which lets you forget it's there till you use the front-cam. Again this punch hole design was previously featured on the S10 series and till now was a flagship phone feature.● Qualcomm 6xx series 2Ghz Octa-Core Snapdragon 675 with Adreno 612 GPU : This is the first M series phone featuring this latest 6xx Qualcomm 675 Snapdragon processor which has previously only been used in flagship phones. Simply put this processor super-powers the M40 for smooth, reliable and steady performance. It makes the M40 blistering fast with negligible app load times and allows brisk multi-tasking with numerous app loaded without any lag or delays. I felt the entire usage experience breezy, swift and snappy. The Adreno 612 GPU in combination with the processor handles the most graphics-intensive games comfortable without any slowdown or jitters that I could notice in games like Pubg and Asphalt 9 with its default setting of HD and High frame rate.● Triple Rear Camera Setup: The Samsung M40 comes with the best and latest in class combination on its cameras. The triple camera combination is more advanced than the M30 with its 32 MP primary lens which clicks pictures in really great clarity and detail and its f/1.7 aperture offers flexibility to get good shots in low light. It also features a 5 MP depth sensor with f/2.2 aperture for amazing portrait snaps and I've takes some of the most vivid pictures of my daughters with the M40 already. It also features an 8 MP ultra wide-angle lens with f/2.2 with 123 degree field of view for excellent reproduction while capturing landscape shots. The front camera is a huge 16 mp Selfie and video calling camera with vibrant results and the above combination is a first for the Samsung M series. The camera also features Slow Motion, Ultra Slow Motion, Hyper Lapse and video recording at the industry latest 4K quality. The M40 also features an AI based scene optimiser which gives outstanding results and sublimely attractive photographs. Focus locks quite fast and daylight shots are crisp and vibrant with colours quite close to real life optics.● Wide vine L1 and Dolby Atmos : One of the most under rated but beneficial feature in this time and age of online streaming is the strangely unknown Wide vine L1 certification that the Samsung M40 has. It is one of the rare phones which is certified and will stream popular streaming videos from Netflix, Amazon Prime and Google play in true HD quality. Most phones do not feature or advertise this and simply provide non-hd content even on their HD or 4K supported phones. Definite plus for me as I spend a lot of time streaming movies and binging on show and find the true-HD experience awesome. Dolby Atmos brings cinema quality surround sound and was previously engineered on Flagship phones and increases the audio/visual experience even for gaming.● On Screen sound technology : The M40 introduces the ground breaking futuristic On-Screen sound technology in the M40. The speaker is placed below the display effectively turning the entire display into a virtual speaker. This provides the benefit of saving speaker space thereby increasing the screen size and reducing the bezel further. The phone still needs to be placed in the normal position on the ear for best results and calling is crisp and clear in my experience when done so. This also translates into no speaker slot and grill to get clogged or damaged owing to daily use which is a nifty advantage for me.● Android Pie and OneUi : This is the first Samsung Device which features latest version Android Pie pre-installed ready to use right out of the box. The M40 runs on the OneUI which is Samsung's custom software based on the android 9.0 Pie update. The user interface comes loaded with a minimalistic design which is optimised for a smooth and simple user experience with tons of customisations that can be done. There is a system wide Night Mode, support for dual messenger and some nifty gesture based navigation controls and the UI really makes one-handed usage easier. Pre-installed apps can be uninstalled but most are useful.More Highlights, Features and Functionalities :● The Samsung M40 has a 6.3 inches FHD+ capacitive touchscreen with Corning Gorilla Glass protection.● At 7.9mm thickness combined with 168 gms weight in hand it is really lightweight and ergonomically designed.● Featuring 6 GB ram with 128 GB storage capacity expandable to 512 GB it takes care of all your speed and storage requirements.● Features Dual Hybrid sim slots for flexibility. Allows you to use 2 sim cards simultaneously or to expand storage using SD Card.● Has 3500mah optimised Lithium-ion battery which easily give you a day's backup with around 20\\% left at the end of the day if you have heavy usage like me or a day and a half's backup if you have moderate usage.● Good anti-glare visibility under sunlight owing to its 480 Nits brightness.● Incorporates facial recognition for unlocking along with fingerprint scanner built into the back which is snappy and fast.● Other sensors available on the M40 include Accelerometer, Gyro Sensor, Geomagnetic Sensor, Hall Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Virtual Light Sensing.● The M40 Comes with a 15W fast charger which takes around 1.5 hours to charge phone to full.● The M40 does away with the 3.5mm headphone slot and provides the future ready slimmer Type C earphones in box. The provided high quality earphones have crystal clear and crisp output and provide good immersive music experience.● The M40 has had a bundled launch with loads of network offers which you can benefit from, including savings of 3110/- on Jio Galaxy Club with its double data offer, or get 100\\% more data upto 840 GB for 10 months on Airtel or Vodafone Cashback worth 3750/- on 50 recharge vouchers of 75/- each along with 250 GB data with additional 0.5 data for upto 18 months.● The Company provides 1 year manufacturer warranty for phone and 6 months warranty for accessories in box from date of purchase.Downsides:● Samsung could have tried to squeeze in a bigger battery and it could have been a phone lasting 2 days.● There should be more colour options even in metallic finishes or a size variant.● Really need more options for protective accessories.● Samsung could have worked on IPS certification and made the phone waterproof.The Samsung M40 is a beautifully crafted mobile which looks both premium and elegant. The dark Blue hue with a gradient finish across the back of the panel blending into a seemingly lighter blue colour on the curved edges gives it a dual tone effect, making it look strikingly smart and sleek. The deadly combination of stunning looks with it's innovative and latest advancements and novelty features make the M40 quite a pleasure to own and use and in my opinion makes it one of the best budget smartphones under 20k.

not at all as expectedbattery (4000mah) finished from morning 10 30 to evening 7 pmhad to charge againmy old A5 2017 (3000mah) lasted all dayand charger cord is third grade less than a meterand thin like a cheap Rs 50 cord

This is waste of money. I got a defective product with camera lens broken. Still didn't got replacement. Please don't buy this. Battery life is very short. Discharge in just 2 hrs.Requested for inspection.Technician was rude. Instead of resolving the problem he began to convince me that I damaged my phone. Why would I do that?.He updated that there is no issue with my phone and that everything is okay.When I contacted him and asked the same, he began to use abusive language. I told him that I requested for another inspection. Then he threatened me that he would make sure that I will never get a replacement .His name is Madhu CholletiPhone number is 9494604371

Phone looks good. That's all.Its screen does not get brighten when call is received.Callers number and name do not appear on the screen but they appear at 'Notification Bar'.On screen speaker vibrate a lot.The caller's voice quality is very poor and at times one cannot understand what the caller is saying.Before I could not down the PROS in the phone, its CONS disappointed me a lot and I decided to return the phone.Such poor quality product is not expected from the house of Samsung.

Not at all upto the mark, I never write negative reviews, probably first negative review I am writing, I gifted it to my wife on her bday, she did not like this phone at all and purchased the new one, the selfie quality is extremely bad, battery life is not at all good, no option to capture screenshot using three fingers, the screenshot functionality is very complex! This phone not worth 20k, I am extremely disappointed as she have used it just for 3-4 days and purchased a new oppo phone. I know amazon cannot do anything but it's my suggestion to everyone to not to buy any new launched phone until it is oppo, vivo, oneplus or redmi. Worst ever decision to invest my money on this phone as it proved to be worst ever gift I gifted to my wife.

The Worst phone I have ever purchased. The on-screen ear piece technology vibrates my ears and make the ear painful along with Heating issue. IMAGINE: Its like keeping your ears on the Hot Iron box. Can't able to hear the voice and the Selfie camera is very poor. I would not recommend this phone even to my Enemy.

Everything is good.

Super camera
