Specifications

Hardware

The Samsung Galaxy A60 and M40 have a 6.3-inch FHD+ (1080×2340) PLS-TFT Infinity-O Display with a circular cutout for the front camera, similar to the

Galaxy S10. The phones have 4 GB and 6 GB RAM versions (6 GB only for the A60), and have 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage that is expandable to 512 GB via the microSD card slot. The phones measure 155.3 mm × 73.9 mm × 7.9 mm (6.11 in × 2.91 in × 0.31 in) and weigh 168 g, featuring a 3500 mAh battery.[5]

The phones also have a dual-SIM slot and supports 15 W charging using

Qualcomm Quick Charge
2.0 over USB-C.

Camera

The phones have a triple-lens camera consisting of a 32 MP f/1.7 wide-angle lens, 8 MP f/2.2 ultra-wide angle lens, and a 5 MP 3D depth sensor.

The triple-lens camera can create a bokeh effect through the 3D depth sensor. There is a 16 MP f/2.0 selfie camera. The camera also has Samsung's scene optimizer technology that recognizes 20 different scenes and automatically adjusts the camera.

The phones also can record 4K video through the camera application.[6][7]

Software

The Samsung Galaxy A60 and M40 run on

Bixby, Google Assistant, Samsung Health, and Samsung Pay, although the Bixby button is not included.[9][10]

Reception

The A60 and M40 received mixed reviews. SamMobile praised the design, performance and battery life, but lamented the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone jack and the usage of an LCD panel rather than an AMOLED while criticizing the price, concluding that the M40 "is a phone that shouldn't really exist" as a higher priced alternative to the A50.[11] It also noted that the video recording was a strong point along with the ultra-wide lens, but the cameras struggled in low-light. The software was criticized for lacking features as well. GSMArena gave both a 3.3/5, having similar complaints about the camera and display.[12]
