The Samsung Galaxy M40 is a soon to be launched mid-range Android smartphone. The Galaxy M40 will first be available in the Indian market and we are not certain on whether the smartphone will make its way to the Kenyan retail market.
However, previous Samsung M series smartphones have made their way to Kenya and it’s therefore probable that the M40 will pop up in local retail stores.
Citing international pricing trends, the M40 is likely to have a suggested retail price of between ksh.30,000 and Ksh. 40,000. At that price point if you are interested in the M40 you should also check out the Samsung Galaxy A50 (Ksh. 29,999) and the OPPO F11 Pro (Ksh. 39,999).
That said, here is what the Galaxy M40 has to offer.

The Galaxy M40 offers a 6.4-inch IPS LCD display with a 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution. The display is slightly bigger than that of the Galaxy A50.
