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.

      Does it have notification led?
      Maybe they'll add AOD in a software update?

                          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

Please see the full product manual to determine if your device is capable of displaying on a locked screen." Unfortunately, they don't mention AOD in the manual, so A40 doesn't have it.

                                        I think I'll go to a different brand now with this crappy chipset
                                        I really loved its compact but the chipset so dissapointed
