Overview


Infinity at your fingertips
The Galaxy A40's 5.9" FHD+ Super AMOLED
display makes the detail pop in everything
you watch*. From music videos to your
favourite pictures the Infinity-U display
leaps edge to edge across the screen.
*Screen measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the
rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners
and camera hole.

Stunning Design
The Galaxy A40 is beautifully sleek and slim.
The curved back rests easily in a single hand
and with a choice of black, white, coral or
blue, you'll find a colour to match your style.

Capture every
moment that matters
The Galaxy A40 features amazing dual
cameras, the 16MP low light lens and Ultra
Wide camera mean you can capture epic
landscape or group shots in detail whether it's
day or night. The 25 MP Selfie camera also
means that every snap is crystal clear.

Smart AI Camera
The Galaxy A40 uses AI to detect your
subject, so it'll know if you're taking a
picture of a sunset or a delicious plate of
food and instantly gives you the optimum
levels of brightness and saturation*.
*Accuracy of Scene Optimiser may differ depending on shooting conditions
including multiple subjects, being out of focus, or moving subjects

Battery Beast
The Galaxy A40 will be there when you
need it most. With a 3,100mAh battery,
you'll be able to go all day, streaming
movies and making calls*. And when you're
low on power, 15W Fast Charging will get
you quickly juiced up.
*Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value
is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery
capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard.
Rated (minimum) capacity is 3,020 mAh. Actual battery life may vary
depending on network environment, usage patterns and other factors.

One UI
One UI helps you focus. Hardware and
software work together, with content and
features at your fingertips, so you can use
them faster. Use Night Mode for a
comfortable experience in the dark, and
with clear visuals using your phone becomes
second nature.
