For me, this has been the best mobi's I've owned over many years. With the majority of current 'phones, being mega expensive, containing far too many 'apps' and multi mega pixel cameras, this one has been 'pared back' to reduce costs, but without removing any of the most important features, found on other more expensive items. The screen, which covers all of the unit to the frame edge, is crystal clear, with gr8 contrast, displaying all the app's with short cuts and the response and clarity is excellent, although I have kept mine in a thin but flexible case since purchase and after nearly 12 months, is still unmarked retaining excellent battery life. In short, it takes mega good pic's and is the best mobi' I've owned to date - Recommended !

In general this is fast phone with good specs and under 6" screen which is ideal for pockets. Camera so so, but i don't care. BIG issue is the earpiece speaker which is positioned too high up near the edge of frame so when you put it to your ear the speaker is muffled by your ear/head and you don't hear anything. Also very slippery and smooth so requires a case. Some samsung UI issues i don't like but you can replace launcher and apps so that's not big deal.

Very pleased with this purchase. A refurbished Grade a phone but like new really. Only one barely noticable faint scuff on handset. In perfect working order. Battery life not quite as good as my last Samsung but only marginally and perhaps my view of this is clouded by lockdown and using it a lot more due to working from home... Memory fantastic as is all the general functionality. I would definitely purchase again and would recommend a refurbished phone. NB. You don't get the usual packaging and accessories (bar USB charging cable), as explained in the blurb, not a problem for me as I had previous samsung accessories which I can use on this handset.

I am very happy with this Samsung A40 product. I am especially pleased with the clarity of the the screen and the fact that is of a very acceptable size i.e. it is not over large. Also the 64 Gig memory makes my life so much easier and retrieval of data is instant. It may not have all the whistles and bells of the more expensive models but there are more than enough features on this product for my needs. Well made and attractive product. Well worth the money.

I bought this Samsung A40 phone to replace my Samsung A5, which only had 16gb memory, and that was beginning to become an issue. (I thought you could run apps on an SD card but you can't!). I was looking for 128gb but that meant the A50 and it was just physically too big. The A40 was a compromise. I have bought used tech before and this was graded as B+ but when it arrived I couldn't find anything to suggest that it wasn’t new. Although slightly smaller than the A5 the viewing screen was just as big. It is lighter than the A5, probably because it is a plastic case instead of aluminium, but it "feels good" to hold. The battery lasts well but I am not a heavy user- phone calls, text, whatsapp and google maps/Waze mainly. Occasionally used as a Kindle book reader in waiting rooms etc. and, of course, as a camera, and the charge usually lasts for a couple of days. All my phones, tablets etc are protected with a leather case and this is no exception. The USB type C connector caught me out so I had to buy a couple of new leads for the car and the bike but it is better than the micro USB on all my other stuff. It fits neatly in my motorcycle jacket and it does all I ask of it so, for me, this compromise purchase has turned into a bit of a result and I am very pleased with it. I was also considering a Samsung S10E because of the size limitation I had set, and I would have got my 128gb - but it would have cost me £500 more. I have now been using this phone for a couple of months and I can't really think of any bad points. All in all I am very happy with the purchase decision and I would do the same again.Read full review
