Design and Build: A Premium Look on a Budget
The Galaxy M40 was a notable phone in Samsung's M-series for adopting the Infinity-O display — a hole-punch camera design that gave it a flagship-inspired look. The display dominated the front with minimal bezels, and the back panel featured a glossy finish with a distinctive camera housing.
The phone was impressively slim at 7.9mm and lightweight at 168g. Samsung included both a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
