In 2019, Samsung has radically changed its mid-range gameplay. The company is working hard to please young consumers and the Galaxy A30s is mostly a step in the right direction. It makes a compelling case for itself with its gorgeous screen, appealing design, Android Pie based clean software and a massive battery. The Galaxy A30s is the most affordable phone in Samsung’s lineup. So, basically, we have no qualms about recommending Galaxy A30s to consumers with light usage who aren’t much into high-end gaming.
The display is what gives the Galaxy A30s an upper hand on. Samsung has opted for a Super AMOLED screen for this budget offering without cutting corners in resolution. The A30s houses a 6.4-inch full HD+ display with 1080×2340 pixels resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. You get punchy colors and are bright enough for comfortable use under harsh sunlight.
The A30s are slim and feel literally light as a feather. It shares similar design ethos as its predecessor the Galaxy A30, however, Samsung had given it a new facelift with diamond-cutting design that shimmer under lighting, even though the material used is polycarbonate, the phone feels really premium.
Flip the Galaxy A30s over, and you’ll spot an additional lens right away. Here, you get a triple-lens camera; a 25-megapixel sensor default camera for crisp image during daylight or dim environment, a 8MP 123˚ Ultra Wide Camera to capture panorama shot of a building and a 5MP Depth Camera to add Bokeh effect on the subject you`re taking.
Capture never before seen angle photo for your next destination with the ultra-wide 123-degree lens. On top of that, at a switch of a button, you can zoom in 2 times more whenever you like to take a more close-up shot.
Enjoy professional image quality with the new depth camera to render the portrait mode of a person, or to create a 3D effect by blurring out the background.
Impress your follower with that Instagram-worthy cute Selfie, the 16 MP AI camera on the front will make sure even without makeup, you`ll still look fabulous.
Even though the phone feels extremely light, Samsung hasn’t compromised on the battery part. In fact, it comes with a massive 4,000mAh battery. The Galaxy A30s also gets 15W fast charger alongside Type-C USB cable bundled within the box that supports fast charging.
Step up your A-game by clinging to a device with a faster processor in Exynos 7904 alongside 4GB of RAM and a 64GB internal storage that can be upgraded with up to 512GB of micro SD card. This way, you can save more photos and documents without needing to delete unnecessarily.
Maximize performance with Game Booster. Cut distractions and up your game with a dedicated interface and easy-to-reach menu. Frame Booster gives graphics smooth, life-like motion. And play at your best as Game Booster learns your usage patterns to optimize battery, temperature and memory.
By moving the rear fingerprint sensor from the back to the display, unlocking your phone has never been easier especially if you want to view your display without having to flip over from the back of the phone. To slot in this flagship-class feature on a budget midrange smartphone is unprecedented.
