Samsung Galaxy A30

The Samsung Galaxy A30 is an Android-based smartphone positioned in the mid-tier segment, designed, produced, and distributed by Samsung Electronics. It operates on Android 9.0 "Pie" and was officially introduced on February 25, 2019, during the Mobile World Congress, alongside the Samsung Galaxy A10 and Samsung Galaxy A50. The device became available to consumers starting March 2, 2019.

Critics generally commended the Galaxy A30 for its vibrant display and intuitive user interface. Nevertheless, some reviews highlighted concerns regarding its overall performance, battery endurance, and camera capabilities.

Internal

The Galaxy A30 features a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-U display,[1] boasting an 84.9% screen-to-body ratio and protected by Gorilla Glass 3. Its physical measurements are 158.5 mm in height, 74.7 mm in width, and 7.7 mm in thickness.[2] Equipped with the Exynos 7904 processor, this model offers two memory configurations: 32 GB storage paired with 3 GB RAM, and 64 GB storage combined with 4 GB RAM, both expandable via microSD cards up to 512 GB.[3] The device is powered by a 4000 mAh battery.[2] It includes a dedicated microSIM slot alongside a dual nano SIM slot supporting VoLTE.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Camera

The rear camera system on the A30 consists of two lenses. The primary sensor is 16 megapixels with an f/1.7 aperture and features face detection autofocus, similar to the Samsung Galaxy A40.[4] Accompanying it is a 5-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.2 aperture.[5] The front-facing camera also has a resolution of 16 megapixels. The camera setup supports LED flash and can capture Full HD video recording.[5] Meanwhile, the Galaxy A30s utilizes the 25MP rear camera module from the Samsung Galaxy A50, while maintaining the same front camera as the A30.[6]

Processor

Under the hood, the Galaxy A30 runs on Samsung’s Exynos 7904 Octa Core processor clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. It employs ARM’s Big.Little architecture with 2x Cortex-A73 cores at 1.8 GHz for performance and 6x Cortex-A53 cores at 1.6 GHz for efficiency. Graphics are handled by the ARM Mali G71 MP2 GPU operating at a base frequency of 343 MHz and boosting to 845 MHz, supporting Vulkan 1.1 via the Bitfrost architecture—ideal for HD gaming experiences. This chipset’s performance aligns closely with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636, achieving Antutu benchmark scores around 127,341. Notably, it is an underclocked variant of the Exynos 7885, which succeeded the Exynos 7870.

Software

The Galaxy A30 runs on Android 9.0 "Pie" paired with Samsung's One UI version 1.0.[5] Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi, alongside integrated services such as Samsung's virtual assistant Bixby, Samsung Pay,[7] and Samsung Health.[4]

Deepak Rajawat from smartprix and Sanket Vijayasarathy representing India Today both commended the Galaxy A30 for its screen quality, user interface, and battery endurance. However, they pointed out drawbacks related to the device's chipset performance and described the camera as mediocre.[8][9] TechRadar’s Tom Bedford and Matt Swider highlighted the vivid display as a strong point but remarked that the phone’s large dimensions made it somewhat cumbersome to use.[10] Shekhar Thakhan of 91mobiles also praised the AMOLED panel, intuitive One UI software, and battery capacity. Conversely, he noted that the rear surface was prone to accumulating fingerprints easily.[11][12]
