When this phone was launched, i bought at 328 based on my plan with the watch for my wife. Less than 2 months, price dropped to 188 without the watch and i recontracted for myself.

Coming from G4, v10, v20, i have no complaints on his phone so far. The only regret is the hybrid sim slot instead of a delicate SD card slot. Still monitoring the battery life.

Should provide more updates if any.

2nd day of usage.

I am not the kind that care about what processor or how well the phone scores on some benchmarking standards. As long as the phone fit my criteria on usability, camera, battery, and pricing, it is good

Battery life - fully charged before going asleep and spent around 15 mins surfing the web. Left around 85% of battery life in the morning

Camera - this is the part where i am puzzled. In auto mode (when using v20), regardless of single/ multiple focus, i know the camera is ready to capture the image when i heard the focus sound or the flash of the green indicators. The photo end result would not be blurry. But for v40, no sound or indicator that denote the camera is ready to capture the subject. I have to observe the screen during focusing and clicked when the screen stablisises itself, albeit the processing speed is fast. This could be disadvantageous as the continued observation strains my eyes. Or did i miss anything? Maybe current users of v40 can advise me

got my Red set today at RWM.
The free gifts has been changed to a 3rd party wireless charger stand and a LG wireless headset (those neckband type)

Initially has problems redeeming the free gifts as RWM is not on the list of authorised sellers. But calling RWM and they solved it for me.

The phone has 0 battery power in it. Have to charge it while checking at RWM.
Did some 100% red, blue and green screen test, camera AF, sound etc

Not sure will be able to update to Pie soon anot
but its for the Mrs, so it should be fine lah. haha

So far unable to find the perfect one
1. Adhesive type will always have that air pocket which affects the sensitivity of the screen
2. Non adhesive type no matter what will have air pocket at both sides of the screen

Just tested another adhesive screen protector from taobao. If you can paste it carefully, the issue of air pockets trapping within is eliminated

After 2 weeks of usage, i would say that
- battery life is generally acceptable
- lack of auto focusing (no indicators that the camera is ready), unless you in macro mode or activate manual focusing by pressing on the subject that you want to focus on
- unlocking via face is slower than my redmi 6.

Users. When I am focusing on a piece of paper (white or single colour background), the following happens. Does your phone encounter this as well ?
