Is it Exynos 7885 or 7904 inside? Your specs say 7885, but the cpu frequencies seem to indicate it's 7904. Also, 7885 is a last year's chip, powering the last year A-series phones.

      at last, a compact sized midranger :)
      seeing all the big-ass models I was pretty sure that compactness will be a selling point for the S series, but I was wrong, fortunatelly
      additionally, it's pretty cheap - it doesn't have the best camera and misses some of the more premium features, but if you want that (in a compact size), you can still get the S10e

                  The reviewer claims that using the gesture navigation mode (instead of 3 buttons), quick jump between 2 apps is not possible. In all other Samsung Pie phones I've tested (S10 series, A70), that is not true. As long as gesture hints is turned on, a quick right swipe of the center line quickly jumps between last 2 apps. Equivalent to right swipe of the pill on stock Android Pie. It would surprise me if this wasn't also on the A40.

                      I think the only good about this phone is the size and the screen.. While everything is just bad.. Like seriously.. Samsung has gone back to its old root after a50 came out.. Gosh why Samsung always forgetful

                                    If whole S10's family front looked like this, I'd get it right away :D. Small notch in the center, compact size and flat screen - perfect :)

                                      Compared to my A5 2017, it does not have water ingress protection - however the display more than makes for it - it's beautiful with almost no dead space around its edges. It's especially impressive when using fullscreen apps (maps etc...). It makes the A5 2017 look ancient.
