Had it for little over two years, best smartphone I ever owned in terms of performance. Did everything it needed to do smoothly. Only problem I had was the screen broke in my pocket while working as a tree worker. I had it repaired for 120 euros, and it worked for some more months, but then I got charging issues. Pressing the middle of the phone under the fingerprint scanner worked pretty well for about another month to get it to charge. But eventually that didn't do it anymore. When I went to repair that as well, the guy told me the screen was dead again as well, I didn't want to pay for replacing that again, so I bought a samsung A01 core instead, which basically sucked and I smashed it out of hatred. I am now awaiting my Samsung Xcover 5.

      frienzie, 30 Apr 2022Buy a samsung s8 of s9 or s7 edgeDude, I bought Galaxy A40 in may 2019, and A40 died in June 2022. The phone was fabulous. Best phone ever. Size of A40 is just great, and I decided to go for S20, just because of the size. S20 is toooooo great to be true, go for S20.

                              I love this phone because of its size and am now looking for a decent high spec Samsung phone with a 5.9" screen or less together with ip67 or ip68 water-proofing and it doesn't seem to exist so I will probably have to buy an IPhone SE3 even though I wanted to stay with Samsung --- Why do companies like Samsung continue to make screens larger and larger??? There are loads of us out there who simply want to upgrade to a mid-range smartphone that comfortably fits in the pocket.

                                A40 phone dropped today outside on the bus stop and the big gorilla grass in pieces. It dropped month ago in the shopping mall too, and nothing happened then. I guess needed to find a new phone. Samsung is okay, but they have too much adware apps like Duo, Microsoft installed and news apps. Will probably go for just cheapest phone Android, like Motorola Go, because I only use phone for calls, maps, messages and Spotify Free. I still enjoyed this phone because it was 169 about year and 9 months back. Also I do need little phone, 6" maximum or slightly more. It's no need for almost 7" phone with hands in which these pieces couldn't fit at all. Why they make phones so big???

                                  By the way, I love this phone! Back in 2019 it was almost perfect for a non-power user who wanted a compact, affordable phone. The AMOLED screen is great, has nice RAM/ROM specs, small enough to use with one hand, fingerprint sensor also allows one-hand unlocking, has decent cameras for the price & a 3.5mm jack, extended OS updates... of course the performance (and the battery) could be improved for sure, but then again, I'm no power user. Writing this from mine, I hope it reaches a 5-year lifespan, already close to a 3-year one :]

                                    becke, 25 Jan 2022Same issue here, the main camera just stopped working one day.After some research I realized it is a common issue among this model. It's an hardware problem, the solution is to change the 2-camera module, unfortunately it seems you can't change only the damaged one.

                                      For how long it will gets security updates.
                                      This phone still works, but if in April is 3 years from release no updates, it becomes not secure even if still works. Someone should force providers to update phones for ages.
