Samsung Galaxy A40 - user opinions and reviews

Worst phone I've ever had. The battery life is terrible, the signal is terrible, the fingerprint lock never works and when the phone is in my pocket, the touch is so sensitive, it dials numbers, turns the brightness down, if I'm listening to music it turns it off, it changes my settings and swipes away any on screen notifications. I have had other Samsung phones in the past which have been great, but I regret ever being talked in to getting the A40. AVOID!

I've had it 6 months. On holiday the phone stopped being able to be charged. It ran down and died. End of story. I changed cables. Nothing. Took it to Samsung in Parma, Italy. They could not fix it for four weeks! Three, my provider, practically washed their hands of me. I'm fuming. Not even the slightest bit of advice as to what I could do or what my options were. Thankfully my wife brought my four and a half year old Samsung A3 out to me when she joined us and at least now I have most of my contacts back. When it was working I found that the predictive text was nowhere near as good as the A3 in both English and Italian. Very disappointed with Samsung and with Three.

After a year battery stopped working properly, it got "fixed" at service and one month later it's broken again... Maybe it's just bad luck but this phone disappointed me a lot...

I don't understand people who are complaining about the battery life... Honestly this was my biggest concern when I was thinking to buy it and guess what ???... You are all wrong!!! I needed secondary compact phone, with enough power and this was definitely wise choice. To be honest I even think that it holds battery better then my primary P30 pro with the same no. of apps, same notifications, same usage basically... I'm getting 2 days without any issues (I'm not playing games). Just disable all the unnecessary apps and you are good to go for 2 days (checked). Screen is beautiful, camera is also very good, it's compact, easy to hold, haven't noticed any lacks... From my side it's a worm recommendation! Cheers!

It won't charge. I have repaired it (professionally), reset it as well. Done a bunch of stuff. And it has often worked... TEMPORARILY. It never gets fixed.

This phone is decent for the price.
The camera is good, there is enough storage/RAM, and the display is gorgeous.
However the battery is ABYSMAL (I'm barely getting a full day of use) and the software is a bit bloated. OneUI is full of bloatware (Facebook, OneDrive, Briefing, Bixby Daily and more).

For a budget phone its ok but sadly the phone sound quality is awful. quiet and muffled. Often it's very difficult to hear what the other person is saying during a call. Feature wise I didn't expect much from a budget phone but it's really really let down by terrible poor call sound quality.

I like the phone in general and my wife's works fine but I have problems with reading the sim card. I keep having to renter password and can't make calls or send messages. Receive messages saying sim card removed or asking me to store my info and unmount sim card but when I do nothing changes. Sometimes it's unusable. I must send it back under the warranty to get repaired or exchanged. The updates say they include program to fix the problem but they never do.

The only good thing is the display quality, but... BAD WiFi, and overall UI, feels like being made for housewives and children. From time to time UI freezes, WiFi does not switch to the closest one, it just shuts down switching to 4G. Absolutely garbage experience.
