My theory is, that they didn't implement the AOD in A40 because it would probably canibalize the sales of S10e. Many costumers want this function on smaller screens, but Samsung doesn't want to lost profit on the higher models.
Aadrian, 16 Apr 2019Polished aluminium frame or just plastic fantastic?back is a plastic fantastic, but it looks good.
I can confirm also that there is no Always on Display :(
Does it have notification led?
Maybe they'll add AOD in a software update?
Its true no AOD not paying $340 without that thanks..

Samsung uses this feature on special devices, i agree, but how J7 pro suddenly becomes special for Samsung only recently? i don't think AOD would impose costs on them like OIS, USB TYPE C,Bluetooth 5, etc, there are marketing policies they follow i don't understand. It is a deal breaker
