Samsung A40 better than J5 ??

    Hi,
    Quick question. I have a J5 2017 phone.
    Its ok, but I find it pretty slow to respond when I try to open apps or when I unlock the lock screen.

    I'm looking at an offer on the A40...

    Just wondering would that phone be appreciably faster and more responsive than the J5. Is it worth my while going to the A40 (90 euros) or should I aim higher if I am to get a less laggy phone?

    Thanks

    I've just bought the A40 with that deal , for 90e it is well worth changing.

    Ahh I didn't bother in the end.
    Personally the bigger screen makes it less attractive.. I much prefer a smaller phone. They are getting stupid big these days IMHO.
