The smartphone market is constantly flooded with new devices. New features are introduced in every smartphone and niche product for a specific audience. The same is the case with Samsung. The company has released several devices this year, from the budget-friendly Galaxy A10 to the premium Galaxy S10+. Among all these devices, another addition to the lineup is the Samsung Galaxy A30. While it may not be as popular as other flagship smartphones from Samsung, it has something unique. This article will take you through everything you need to know about the new device – The Samsung Galaxy A30.
What’s Special About The Galaxy A30?
There are a few things that are special about the device. First of all, the Galaxy A30 is the first smartphone from Samsung to come with a triple rear camera setup. The device also comes with Samsung’s S-Pen stylus, which you cannot find in any other device from Samsung. The device also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor, a feature of any other device.
Samsung Galaxy A30 is also the first device in the Galaxy A series to have a notched display. There is no denying the fact that notched displays are very common in the mid-range segment, but surprisingly, Samsung has not incorporated it in any of its smartphones until now. The company might have chosen to make its mid-range lineup more appealing, especially when the competition is fierce in the mid-range segment.
Expected Release Date And Price
There is no official word from Samsung on the release date of the Galaxy A30. However, it is expected to be launched in September 2019, the same month the Galaxy A50 was released in 2018. The pricing is around $250 for the base model and $300 for the top-end model.
What Will Be The Colors For Samsung Galaxy A30?
The Samsung Galaxy A30 is expected to be available in three colors – Lemonade Blue, Lavender Violet, and Bubblegum Pink.
While the Lemonade Blue color is expected to be a traditional blue color, the Lavender Violet color is expected to be a purple color that could appeal to both male and female users. However, the Bubblegum Pink color is expected to be a bit of a girly color and could be appealing only to female users.
Samsung Galaxy A30 Specifications
The Samsung Galaxy A30 is expected to run Android Pie out-of-the-box, with Samsung’s UI on top. The device will come in two RAM and storage variants – 3GB RAM with 32GB storage and 4GB RAM with 64GB storage. There is no word on whether a 6GB RAM variant will be released, but there are chances it might be launched as Samsung has a history of releasing higher-end devices in the A series.
The device will come with a 6.4-inch HD+ (720 x 1520 pixels) Super AMOLED display, the same as we saw in the Galaxy A50. It will be powered by an octa-core Exynos 7904 SoC, coupled with 3GB/4GB of RAM. It will have a 3300mAh battery, which is a bit of a disappointment given that the Galaxy A50 came with a bigger 3500mAh battery.
There is no word on the cameras yet, but it is expected to come with an 8MP + 16MP + 5MP triple rear camera setup and an 8MP front-facing camera.
Samsung Galaxy A30 Review: Display and Design
The Galaxy A30 will come with a 6.4-inch HD+ (720 x 1520 pixels) Super AMOLED display, which has the same display we saw in the Galaxy A50. While the resolution is HD+, the Super AMOLED display makes up for the lack of sharpness.
Coming to the design, the Galaxy A30 will come with a waterdrop notch display, unlike the Galaxy A50, which had a bezel-less display. No word is yet on whether the device will come with a plastic build or a glass back.
The device will have a plastic build, just like its predecessors. While plastic doesn’t have the best reputation for premium devices, it is better than many think. It is durable, and the fact that it is not slippery like glass backs makes it a better choice for the mid-range segment.
Samsung Galaxy A30 Review: Camera Quality
The Galaxy A30 will come with a triple rear camera setup – 8MP + 16MP + 5MP. It is expected to be an f/1.9 aperture camera and will also come with AI camera features like Super Steady and Night Shot.
While the camera specifications sound good on paper, it is only when we review the device that we can say whether the device has good camera quality or not. It remains to be seen whether the device will be able to compete with other devices in the market.
As far as the front camera is concerned, the device will come with an 8MP f/2.0 aperture camera.
Samsung Galaxy A30 Review: Battery Life and Conclusion
A smartphone’s battery life always matters, and the Galaxy A30 is expected to come with a 3300mAh battery. While the capacity is lower than what we saw in the Galaxy A50, we hope the device provides a similar battery life, given the display resolution and chipset used in the machine.
The device is expected to come with Android Pie out-of-the-box, with Samsung’s UI on top. The device is expected to be priced around $250 for the base model and $300 for the top-end one, making it a good choice for those looking for a good smartphone in the mid-range segment.
Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy A30 is expected to be one of the best smartphones in the mid-range segment. The device is expected to have exciting features and a good user experience. The device is expected to be launched sometime in September 2019. Given the device’s specifications, it is expected to be priced between $250 and $300. So, if you want a new mid-range smartphone, you should watch the Galaxy A30.
