    I dont know why they came up with this kind of phone, bogus phone, very weak in signal strength if u r using sim calls, asloth with multi tasking, cameras dont give true colors, it seems there is a segment of the market they targeting but this gonna let the Samsung brand down, anote 4 better wth cameras , returning it to the retailer now

                      I don't know what is samsung trying to do by making this phone at this price segment.
                      Like literally it's one of the most fraudulent phones ever made by any company. (even cheap Chinese clones give better specs)
                      Anyways, the 32 mp primary which is having pixel size of 0.8 um after pixel binning is roughly 8 mp(well it's not a joke)
                      Who gives 8 mp cam at this price?
                      And the worst part is the screen like seriously TFT?

                                        Anonymous, 21 Aug 2019Exactly. They've almost almost similar camera specs with similar apertures. Including the self... moreComparing to an A9 2018 and also having used A50 extensively, I can say this much:

                                        - A60/M40 has better rear camera especially in low-light. Differences in good light are not obvious vs. the A9 2018, but noticeable when compared to the A50.

                                        - Front camera wise the A50 and M40 look similar to me, and I think M40 is slightly worse in low light than A50. Two issues are here: focal distance is too high, you can't click close up selfies and not have it blur. Secondly, low light selfie leads to a lot of noise. A9 2018 wins hands down because it has low focal distance meaning that I can click close up selfies easily.

                                        The M40's selfie camera looks like it can be fixed via software update, so I'll be looking at a few updates to see how it goes.

                                        The IPS/PLS screen is not at all bad, I don't know why people are calling it a negative. It is one of the better IPS/PLS screens I have seen in any device till now. Yes, it won't have the saturation of a Samsung AMOLED display, but forget that and compare with the competition and you'll find it holds up very well (colour balance is GREAT too, unlike AMOLED which overdoes the warm tones).

                                        - This device would have been a superhit had it had a 3.5 mm jack. The lack of it puts a great stopper on an otherwise great device.

                                        - The screen sound technology is MOSTLY fine, but has lower volume than your average speaker on the phone. It's difficult to talk while you are on a taxi, for example.

                                        - The loudspeaker is great for music/multimedia. In fact one of the best Samsung phone speakers, just lacks a little bass but produces all the right tones.

                                        - It has NFC at this price tag which the Chinese competitors do not.

                                        I am hopeful this device will see a lot of improvements over time as I have had the A9 2018, a device which turned from bad cameraphone to good cameraphone over successive software updates...
