This phone is decent for the price.
The camera is good, there is enough storage/RAM, and the display is gorgeous.
However the battery is ABYSMAL (I'm barely getting a full day of use) and the software is a bit bloated. OneUI is full of bloatware (Facebook, OneDrive, Briefing, Bixby Daily and more).

For a budget phone its ok but sadly the phone sound quality is awful. quiet and muffled. Often it's very difficult to hear what the other person is saying during a call. Feature wise I didn't expect much from a budget phone but it's really really let down by terrible poor call sound quality.

I like the phone in general and my wife's works fine but I have problems with reading the sim card. I keep having to renter password and can't make calls or send messages. Receive messages saying sim card removed or asking me to store my info and unmount sim card but when I do nothing changes. Sometimes it's unusable. I must send it back under the warranty to get repaired or exchanged. The updates say they include program to fix the problem but they never do.

The only good thing is the display quality, but... BAD WiFi, and overall UI, feels like being made for housewives and children. From time to time UI freezes, WiFi does not switch to the closest one, it just shuts down switching to 4G. Absolutely garbage experience.

After fiddling with all the settings for a few days I managed to get 11.5hrs of screen-on time and 31.5 hours total time on battery, with 10% charge remaining. I'd consider my usage moderate. I did limit the CPU to 70% max and I imagine this helped and I didn't perceive any difference in performance compared to 100%. I don't use the device for 3D gaming though, so it likely be noticeable in games.
Overall a great phone for a great price. I deliberately chose the A40 for its plastic materials because I like a light phone that bounces when dropped, not a heavy phone that dents and cracks easily when it's inevitably dropped. Adding a case would just add bulk and weight.
