The Samsung Galaxy M30s is an Android-based phablet produced by Samsung Electronics and is part of the initial generation of the Galaxy M series. It serves as the successor to the Samsung Galaxy M30. This device comes pre-installed with Android Pie (version 9) alongside Samsung's customized One UI interface. Available with either 64 GB or 128 GB of built-in storage, the Galaxy M30s is powered by a substantial 6000 mAh Li-Po battery. The official launch date was 18 September 2019.[1][2] The rear camera system includes a triple-lens setup featuring a 48 MP wide-angle sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 5 MP depth sensor.[3][4]

Hardware

The Samsung Galaxy M30s features a 6.4-inch FHD+ (1080×2340) Super AMOLED Infinity-U Display, incorporating a U-shaped notch to house the front-facing camera, akin to the Samsung Galaxy M30. This design achieves a screen-to-body ratio of 91%. The panel boasts a contrast ratio of 78960:1 and reaches a peak brightness of 420 nits. Available in 4 GB and 6 GB RAM variants, the device offers internal storage options of 64 GB or 128 GB respectively, both expandable up to 1 TB via a microSD card. Powering the phone is a 6000 mAh Li-Po battery, which supports 15W wired fast charging. Notably, this battery capacity is the largest ever integrated into a Samsung smartphone and also stands as the biggest battery found in any smartphone launched in India. A rear-mounted fingerprint sensor provides biometric security. Under the hood, the phone is equipped with an Exynos 9611 SoC, featuring an octa-core 10 nm CPU with a configuration of 4×2.3 GHz Cortex-A73 cores alongside 4×1.7 GHz Cortex-A53 cores, paired with a Mali-G72 MP3 GPU.

Camera

The rear camera setup is arranged within a rectangular module. It includes a 48 MP wide-angle sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, pixel size of 0.8 μm, and phase-detection autofocus capability. Complementing this is an 8 MP ultra-wide lens featuring an f/2.2 aperture, a focal length of 12mm, and a viewing angle of 123°. Additionally, there is a 5 MP depth sensor with an f/2.2 aperture. The portion of the module not occupied by cameras or flash displays the inscription "48 mega pixels." The device offers a night mode designed to enhance brightness in low-light conditions while minimizing noise, along with a live focus mode that utilizes the depth sensor to produce a bokeh effect. Video recording supports up to 4K at 30 frames per second, alongside features such as super-steady video stabilization, hyperlapse, slow motion capture, and HDR. Furthermore, Samsung's scene optimizer technology leverages AI to identify 20 different scenes and automatically fine-tune camera settings accordingly. The front-facing camera consists of a 16 MP sensor positioned within the display notch.

Software

The Samsung Galaxy M30s operates on Android 11, enhanced with Samsung's One UI interface, which shifts interactive elements in native Samsung applications towards the lower portion of the screen. This adjustment facilitates easier one-handed navigation on larger displays. Included software features encompass Bixby (despite the absence of a dedicated Bixby button), Google Assistant, Samsung Health, and Samsung Pay.

Critical reception

Overall, the device garnered favorable feedback from reviewers, although its camera performance attracted notable critique. NDTV awarded it an 8 out of 10, commending the battery capacity, screen quality, and overall performance while pointing out shortcomings in the camera. Android Authority gave a rating of 8.2 out of 10, highlighting the display clarity, sound output, and processing power but also mentioning issues with camera quality and device overheating during intensive tasks. The Mobile Indian praised the display, battery endurance, and performance but criticized the camera's effectiveness in low-light conditions and the choice of a plastic rear panel. Lastly, Business Standard India lauded multiple aspects of the phone including its battery life but expressed dissatisfaction with the camera capabilities.

Issues

A significant number of users reported that Samsung devices equipped with the Exynos 9611 chipset, particularly the Galaxy M30s, frequently experience freezing and automatic restarts following updates to newer Android versions. Additionally, some users encountered difficulties connecting to LTE networks. Reports also highlighted instances of the phone overheating under heavy usage conditions, a concern echoed by several reviewers.
