Galaxy A40: A compact 5.9" Super AMOLED budget Samsung for one-handed users.
SpecEagle Editorial·Apr 2019·$280·Score 60/100
A40 packed a Super AMOLED into a genuinely one-hand-friendly 5.9" frame — a rarity even in 2019. The small battery and no jack are the costs. For users who hated the size creep, it was a thoughtful pick.
