Let’s start with the fact that the V40 is a good-looking smartphone, even a bit different — mainly because of its lens module, which is designed with a long shape and a large circle for the sensors. It comes in several interesting colors such as light blue and peach (which I couldn't find locally), purple, and a dull silver-gray version that I received for review. Its back has a matte coating meant to resist fingerprints, but smudges still accumulate. The phone is not overly heavy by today’s standards — 190 grams — and has a thickness of 7.6 mm, which is reasonably slim. It boasts protection that doesn't fall short of pricier devices: IP68 for water and dust, and also IP69, meaning it can handle hot water (up to 80 degrees Celsius), falls, or sticky liquids like juice.
