Ive had this phone 3 months after using Samsung for years.
The handset itself is awful. Very quiet call volume, much quieter than the J5 i used for years.
The touch screen miss touches a lot.

The new update of the operating system is treacherously bad. Nit the OS i thought I would be using.

I will not use Samsung again for phone or tablet until consumer engagement impacts their development.

    I bought this phone recently and had to change it twice! The phones had a weird rattling noise while on the phone and hardly hearing someone talk. I replaced my sim to a new one which made no difference. I am now on my 3rd phone and about to change to a different make !

              You didn't realise it has thinner edges than S10e?

                Your S5 was a flagman phone. A40 is budget product. You cannot compare them.

                  I'm having a nightmare with my brand new A40.
                  The internet connection is SO painfully SLOW..that much of the time websites time out.
                  When I upgraded,I was told it was
                  was 4g but in settings it says 2 or 3 g.
                  Also the normal Google search page isn't there.Instead of the search icon there is a speaker.It wont let me search as freely as my S5.

                                  Redd, 15 Aug 2019Yeah lame battery lifeGoing from 100% to 50% in one day with five hours of screen-on time. I mainly surf the web and listen to music. So...

                                  I would always take better battery time over phone thinness, but in this case I wouldn't say it is lame or terrible.
