Samsung will officially launch the Galaxy M40 on
June 11 in India, where it's partnered with Amazon. Yesterday a teaser from the
retailer was posted, drumming up the excitement for the new smartphone.
Today the press render you can see below has been
leaked. It shows the Infinity-O screen, with the punch-hole selfie camera, a
first for Samsung's M-series (the other members of the family all sport
notches).
The phone is expected to sport the Snapdragon 675
SoC, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It will run Android 9 Pie. On
the back we can see a triple camera setup, an LED flash, and a fingerprint
sensor. The main shooter will have 32 MP resolution, while the selfie snapper
is a 16 MP unit. These details come from Asim Warsi, Samsung India's SVP for
the smartphone business.
The Galaxy M40 will be priced around INR 20,000
(US$ 286 or € 257 at the current exchange rates). That's INR 2,000 more than the
most expensive Galaxy M30 version, which makes sense considering that the M40
will be the new king of the M-series.
