Samsung is getting tricky. last year you could buy A series with a ton of capabilities such as metal frame, ip68, glass back and more. this year we are getting A series with plastic (glastic back), no ip , no aluminum frame, no aod , even dated chips in 2019, what is happening to us . A series had famous quality back in the day, now quality is sacrificed. Price is also low but... A series were special, now practically replaced J series with U notch to boast about in 2019.

My theory is, that they didn't implement the AOD in A40 because it would probably canibalize the sales of S10e. Many costumers want this function on smaller screens, but Samsung doesn't want to lost profit on the higher models.

Does it have notification led?
Maybe they'll add AOD in a software update?

Samsung uses this feature on special devices, i agree, but how J7 pro suddenly becomes special for Samsung only recently? i don't think AOD would impose costs on them like OIS, USB TYPE C,Bluetooth 5, etc, there are marketing policies they follow i don't understand. It is a deal breaker

Please see the full product manual to determine if your device is capable of displaying on a locked screen." Unfortunately, they don't mention AOD in the manual, so A40 doesn't have it.
