Galaxy M40 vs Galaxy A50 specs: An interesting internal conflict

Concluding updated: June 12th, 2019 at xvi:14 UTC+01:00

Sitting at the summit of the Milky way G lineup, it's non surprising that the Milky way M40 comes close to the Galaxy A50 on the hardware front. It's actually a rather interesting conflict between the two phones. It's rare to run across Samsung offering smartphones in different lineups in a similar price range, simply that'south what it's doing with the Galaxy M40 and Galaxy A50.

No headphone jack on the Galaxy M40 may be its Achilles heel

Nevertheless, the Galaxy A50 does have an upper paw, specially as information technology has a lower toll for the base of operations model. It comes with a Super AMOLED display, a bigger battery, and, near importantly, a headphone jack. The Galaxy M40 is Samsung's first budget phone that's missing the headphone jack. Samsung India told us that not having a headphone jack allowed them to make the device just vii.9 mm thick, the slimmest in the segment, but consumers won't come across it like that. Not to mention the A50 has a seven.seven mm profile and a 0.1-inch larger screen forth with a headphone jack.

The M40 likewise has an LCD display instead of a Super AMOLED panel and a battery smaller than that of the A50, which is a shame considering 1 of the best features of the Milky way M20 and M30 was their v,000 mAh battery. It gets points for the Snapdragon 675 under the hood, along with a college-resolution primary rear camera, just that's pretty much it. And, well, the physical fingerprint sensor is also an reward. Optical in-display fingerprint sensors, like the 1 in the Galaxy A50, are quite inaccurate and slow, making them a very poor alternative to concrete sensors.

We'll take a proper verdict on whether the Galaxy M40 can concur its own against the Milky way A50 in our total review, but for now, we've put together a table to testify you how the spec sheets of the two phones compare. You tin can too cheque how the M40 compares to its predecessors (the M10, M20, and M30) and meet our initial impressions of the device.
