Should of come with Android 11 which came this year in september, I doubt this phone will even get Android 12, 720p in 2020 for 300 dollars is horribile. Camera probably didnt improve much. Macro camera sees a large bump in mega pixels but a pro mode which they refuse to deliver could of do something much better. Ultra wide is the same stuff as 2 YEARS ago.
Battery is much higher than the original A40 but that doesnt matter, samsung phones get a lot of bloatware and ads, and 5G isnt really a feature right now. the display is also really big, I dont like the new designs at all, they could do something much better. There is an attempt at doing some gradient but I dont like it. Samsung is rotting, I suggest a pixel 3a or 4a which should be in the same price range. Go check out oneplus nord if you got more money.

            This is a fantastic new phone. Best newest Android 10 and the hardware issues a much more practical device. We don't need so high resolution on the touchscreen but the GPU handles projectors of any kind. All comes as 64-bit CPU's these days and this is not only with pc's. I have just bought this 5G enabling phone as a boom to the market if international encrypting all uses same byte lenght. Any alphabet is possible.

Too ... moreIt's not always about the screen resolution, maybe they chose 720p for battery life and other reasons, but the fact that this phone costs the same as a Mi 10T, with a flagship processor, which is just far better than A42.

                          Has nay1 ever noticed that almost every phone has 4k30fps video on the back and 1080p 30 fps video on the front. this applies to flagships from companies like Xiaomi, Realme, oneplus and so on. but for mid rangers its samsung, realme, xiaomi, oneplus and many more. its kinda funny
