My "new to me" Samsung A40 smartphone
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.
