The device equally packs a fingerprint scanner. The A60 is priced at ¥1999 ($299).

On the other hand, the Galaxy A40s is basically a rebranded Galaxy M30 which was launched in India not too long ago. The device packs a 6.4-inch FHD+ Infinity U display. The notch houses a 16MP selfie camera. The phone is powered by the 14nm Exynos 7904 processor and it is paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The A40s comes with triple rear cameras – a 13MP primary camera, a 5MP super wide-angle camera, and a 5MP depth sensor.
