Samsung Galaxy M40 is the cheapest phone you can get in India with a punch-hole display

Samsung Galaxy M40, that is launching in India today, is cheapest phone that you can get with a punch-hole display – a design choice that allows Samsung to offer nearly 91 per cent of screen-to-body ratio inside a sleek pack. Well until Galaxy M40 happened, punch-hole display was limited to Samsung’s top-tier Galaxy S10 phones in India – Samsung calls setup as Infinity-O. 

Samsung is touting Galaxy M40 as an entertainment powerhouse – like Galaxy A70. Which is also possibly why, Galaxy M40 shares a lot in common with Galaxy A70. 

design scheme of Galaxy M40 is familiar if you've seen any of recent Galaxy A or Galaxy M phones. Samsung is using its 3D ‘glasstic’ design in Galaxy M40 - which essentially means that phone is me of plastic with glossy finish. Samsung is using different colour schemes though which make Galaxy M40 stand out a little – phone will be available in Midnight Blue and Seawater Blue grient colours.
