Samsung Galaxy M40

The Samsung Galaxy A60 and Samsung Galaxy M40 are mid-range Android smartphones manufactured by Samsung Electronics as part of its fifth-generation Galaxy A series lineup and first-generation Galaxy M series lineup. Both devices are identical in terms of hardware and software. The A60 is marketed for China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, while the M40 is marketed for India and other nearby countries. The A60 was unveiled on April 17, 2019, while the M40 was unveiled on June 11, 2019.

Both devices feature plastic back, plastic frame, and a glass front (which is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3).

Both devices have a 6.3-inch FHD+ (1080×2340) PLS-TFT Infinity-O Display with a punch-hole cutout for the front camera (similar to the Galaxy S10), a first in the Galaxy A/M series.

Both devices feature a 3500 mAh battery with support for 15 W charging using Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 over USB-C.

Both devices use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC, and are sold in 4 GB or 6 GB RAM versions, and have 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage that is expandable to 512 GB via the microSD card slot.

The phones have a triple-lens camera consisting of a 32 MP f/1.7 wide-angle lens, 8 MP f/2.2 ultra-wide angle lens, and a 5 MP depth sensor. It has a 16 MP f/2.0 selfie camera.

Both devices were shipped with Android 9 Pie and One UI 1.0. It was eligible for 2 OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates (until 2023).

The A60 and M40 received mixed reviews. SamMobile praised the design, performance and battery life, but lamented the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone jack and the usage of an LCD panel rather than an AMOLED while criticizing the price, concluding that the M40 "is a phone that shouldn't really exist" as a higher priced alternative to the A50. It also noted that the video recording was a strong point along with the ultra-wide lens, but the cameras struggled in low-light. The software was criticized for lacking features as well. GSMArena gave both a 3.3/5, having similar complaints about the camera and display.
