User opinions and reviews

i miss the wallpapers for these a_0(s) phones, so beautiful.

  • Fade.

Do all apps still work? I'm considering on getting this as a second phone, for 50€. To preserve my galaxy s23 longer. I would be using this for spotify, twitch youtube etc.

The A40 still has a huge marketshare, especially in developing countries like India as an example.
