Samsung Galaxy M40 has officially been launched in
India after a series of teasers and rumours. The new Galaxy M-series phone is
set to go on sale starting June 18 with a competitive price tag of Rs. 19,990.
Key highlights of the Galaxy M40 include a full-HD+ Infinity-O Display, triple
rear camera setup, and octa-core Snapdragon 675 SoC. The smartphone is also the
first in its segment to sport a "screen sound" technology that
enables the display panel to produce audio vibrations -- without requiring a
dedicated earpiece. The Galaxy M40 makes the competition tougher for companies
such as HMD Global, Realme, and Xiaomi that target customers with products
priced under the Rs. 20,000 bracket in the country.
