As I'm scrolling through the comments and opinions about this phone, other than the horrible English by most of you, I noticed quite a few bad comments about this phone. Well, I have this phone myself, for about 8 months now, and honestly, it's great. Not fabulous, not horrible, just in the middle, leaning a bit towards fabulous. I agree with most of you saying the battery is the worst part of the phone, but even that is okay, and can easily get you through a day with medium use. Now for the bad comments, most of you were saying the phone's reception and call quality is not substantial. Some were even complaining that it bends easily and has the speaker is weak. Honestly, the only thing I can say to those people are: 1. Your phone reception and call quality depend on the region, and with the region I'm in I can't comlain. 2. If that's not it, your phone is definitely a chinese fake or malfunctional. Anyways, looking forward to ONE UI 2.0 with Android 10 coming April, next month. Hopefully, AOD comes along and looking forward to the new gestures and animations. Overall, judging by my device, this phone is a major major go!

My fault. The "More options" button was incative with Microsoft launcher. With OneUI it works and allows me to add side swipe for BACK.

Right now I watched a video for gestures in OneUI 2 and they've truly added new types of gestures, accessible by the "More options" button, but for a40 this button is disabled.

This morning I installed the update. So far I haven't find absolutely nothing new.
No AoD. In the change log it was stated new type of gestures - the gestures are same.
No haptic vibration.
The only differences I've found is changed interface of Device care, added menu in notification shade for power off and restart.
The bug for delay in 2 seconds when I answer a call is still presented.
I think the dark mode looks better, but I am not sure.

I am using the phone for more than 3 months and overall impressions aren't great.
I purchased this device because of its dimensions - it seems to be the smallest relatively capable phone on the market for a reasonable price. And here the good ends.
The biggest issue I have with the phone is when somebody calls me and I answer, there is period of 2-3 seconds until when they can hear me. So I say twice "Alo, Alo" and then I can start the conversation.
The loudspeaker of the phone is terrible - I really can't hear nothing if I play youtube video (so I don't even try).
The phone comes with AMOLED display, but doesn't have any always on display nor notification light and I constantly check for emails and SMS since this is my business phone and it is in silent mode.
The screen isn't great on direct sunlight, but it is acceptable.
The phone doesn't have haptic feedback. I like phones with good vibration to respond to my actions.
The battery life for my usage is OK - 2 days, but as I said the phone is only for calls, emails and SMS messages.
As conclusion I can say this phone is for people who don't want to carry shovel in their pockets and are ready to live with its shortages.
I hope that Android 10 update will bring AOD feature and will fix connection delay issues.
