has an iridescence<\/strong> to it. It\u2019s also glossy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s curved well. This is something we\u2019ve seen throughout Samsung\u2019s devices, no matter the price. Expertly curved phones mean that they\u2019ll fit in your palms better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving across its sides, you\u2019ll see a 3.5 mm headphone jack. More handsets are coming without the port, which is disappointing, The A40 has a microSD slot too \u2013 you\u2019ll be able to expand its storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re not looking at a thick phone. Its width is only 7.9 mm. It\u2019s as thin as the Samsung Galaxy S20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll find a fingerprint sensor on its back. It\u2019s towards the upper corner. It\u2019s easy to reach. Its buttons are easy-to-reach too. We found them quite tactile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have small hands, you might struggle with it. It stretches 5.9 inches<\/strong> across. The fact that it\u2019s glossy makes it slippery too.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t get to pick it up in many colours, sadly. The only options available are black, white, coral, and blue. The rainbow effect on it works the best on the black version. At certain angles, it looks like an oil spill. But we\u2019re fans of the A40\u2019s coral variant more. You usually don\u2019t find phones rocking the shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
