It also comes with 8GB of physical RAM plus up to 32GB of virtual memory and the 128GB of flash memory storage is expandable to 1TB simply by plugging in a microSD card (not included).

The device comes with 8GB of physical RAM (which is actually a good amount), but they arrive at the 40GB total by adding in the 32GB of available virtual memory. I just wanted to clear that up because I’m a firm believer in transparency.
