Samsung Galaxy A30 - User Reviews

  • i have using A30 almost few months already and fully satisfied. Just make sure update your firmware once got notification then your phone will be smoothly, if not some of the function may not funtioning properly. Still like A30 due to screen sharpness compare to A30s.

  • Picked up an A30 just a couple of months ago. The headphone stopped functioning. The service center at Spenser's Thiruvananthapuram Kerala, initially they did not want to extend support because their staff wanted to go home early. The initial statement was we only entertain walk in till 6pm whilst the samsung service center displayed time is upto 8pm. When we expressed our displeasure to them for not servicing or even willing to listen to our grievance. They finally had to hear a samsung customer when i started to dial the toll free to complain. Then they started dishing out the hassles one will have to undergo. 1. My mobile which has no issues need to be surrendered for 45 mins to an hour at least for their long process to be completed. Samsung Service team, your customer service sucks.. you have just produced one disgruntled, certainly unhappy customer. For a few hundred rupee stupid head set. Sorry but you are on your way out for sure.. It just left a dash taste today. Very disappointed customer.

  • The galaxy A30 is a good product, but it would be better if an update be released to be able to assign a 3rd party notification, for SMS notifications.

  • After update new patch, I do not find any significance difference is battery life. Even the performance is still same (good) as it was before update.

  • And who are you to say that? Are you here with me, using my device???? Grow up . And respect the other's opinion

  • It was only a security update. Nothing else changed

  • After the update I can't connect phone to computer and I get random notifications about usb disconnected and battery give charging mark despite not charging that dissappear after reboot

  • So since more than one person says that battery drains slightly faster, not that my current battery life is annoying me in anyway, but overall, now that I havent yet updated, do u all, especially those who have done it suggest that I update it? Or should I just continue as it is now? Thank you! :)

  • that's a lie fingerprint works fine, battery is still very much ok

  • After ''october security patch'' Battery drains slightly faster ''not that bad''' Fingerprint doesn't open the phone directly. I need to press ''on/off botton''' then use the fingerprint to unlock my phone Except of these, i did not notice any changements

  • Not a single problem even after upgrading

  • Battery drains faster with this latest update

  • Has anyone had any negative effects after updating to the October 1 security patch? Please share. Thank you.

  • A very good smartphone, excellent battery and good camera

  • Battery Drain Quickly

  • My Samsung Galaxy A30 have a issue of camera. I am unable to take rear pictures with good quality. Camera is worst in Samsung Galaxy A30

  • Security update control the apps , then apps control the device performance. did u update your October month security update?.

  • update is not about performance, its about security i update it, and noting special happened

  • The October update issues, 1. WiFi doesn't work continuously, and dual band some times missing and can't be able to connect the internet. 2. sound is very low for phone calls, even dolby atoms sound effect is average. 3. Google apps crashes when we use continuously. (specially Google Chrome, map, play music and you tube). 4. battery drain quickly for internet browsing and online video calls. 5. Google apps are slow and battery drain quickly. These are my mobile issues, and i don't know for others. better you ask others opinion also. better you install the update, bcz it's good for your mobile to safe guard from online thread.

  • Same, and it is pretty annoying even tho i am not opening it and it is clicking phone or camera. But anyways i still love it, one of the best budget phone for me.

  • Hi Has anyone updated with the octobe update security patch? If u have, please let us know the performance after update. Thank you.

  • It's your friend's phone that doesn't have the noise cancellation working properly. It's supposed to filter out all the noise and transmit the voice alone to your phone, not the other way round.

  • My camera isn't focusimg

  • My Samsung Galaxy A30 Phone very Great No Issue No Problems Amazing A30 Brand Very Fast Internet All Day Online

  • lol mods please delete this comment. A30 is perfect, I was using a generic slow charger and the battery was depleted so it took longer to charge. I switched to its original Samsung fast adaptative charger and all fine. This is a beautiful phone, after the September 1st update it feels a bit laggy, I hope it gets fixed with regular use. Great phone I love it. Android 9 is a bit backwards but anyway it is what it is.

  • I'm taking about WiFi internet connection , not for mobile internet connection , the WiFi internet connection works only 10 min or 20 min continuously after that it's automatically stop working and again it's start to work. We can't work properly with this A30 mobile, the mobile internet works fine with 4G connection, but the main problem is WiFi firmware. I check the WiFi with *#0011# but it's shows no problems but again and again problems occurred. Samsung please rectify the WiFi issues and also pls rectify the sound issue also. Still we believe Samsung is best brand in the world.

  • If performance is everything for you, go for A30s as 720p display requires less processing power. But remember at the same time 1080p display is much more vibrant than 720p. The choice is upto you, "Performance or display?"

  • Hey guys maybe you can help me out: Just bought a Samsug A30, and it has a problem, it will charge very slowly, and battery drains fast. When I plug the charger it will say 19 hours to full charge. I followed a youtube video and wiped the partition cache and then in the phone app dialed *#9900# and turnes on Battery charge dump o something line that. Help I cant use my phone because of this. It wont update because it needs at least 20% to install the update

  • This phone is ABSOLUTELY GREAT! The screen is by far the best part of the phone. It has a FHD+ sAMOLED (6.4in) Infinity-U display. The colors are vibrant, the blacks are rich and dark and it just looks amazing! It has a 15W fast charger right out of the box which is great, and comes with a dedicated Standard TPU case, which also has a nice feel in the hand! The 16mp + 5mp camera is awesome and records great videos. Everyone should have this phone. But the one and ONLY one step back I have from this phone, is that the speaker grill doesn’t get as loud as I thought or even would like it to. It’s not a big problem though, still go for this phone if you can!

  • My samsung galaxy a30s only has 2g for internet. Did you have any similar problems? I just bought the phone and I'm planning to return it for a replacement instead.

  • Guys anyone have WiFi issues, bcz my a30 WiFi sometimes works other time WiFi doesn't work. Samsung please rectify the issue.

  • Been using the phone for 5 months now, everything is flawless about this phone except for of course the processor chip (I mean, whoever's planning to buy this phone in the first place should always expect this) Though, there's this really annoying problem where accidental touch protection is rarely working the way its intended to work, my phone goes crazy whenever its in my pocket and it click on all random things when the screen is accidentally lit up....

  • My 2weeks old a30 no sound output from headset. I dont know why. The headset is not defective. Please give some advice.

  • Active noise cancellation seems not to be working or is not there when my friend is talking to me i can hear his noisy background!! Anybody with a similar issues.

  • How to get "PIN to unlock SIM regional lock"?

  • Here's a list of Samsung phones that'll be getting android 10

  • samsung a30 mobile camera slow motion no update do somethings

  • Yes

  • It does not

  • what about the network & wi-fi

  • Hello my frndz, Can anyone tell me it have call recording option built in or not?? Plz Plz

  • Will the A30 get an upgrade to android 10?

  • A30 or A30s which one is better in overall performance ???

  • Not sure, I bought mine from Jumia (4GB version). You might be able to get it from their store or Slot though. But why would you want that version?

  • Pls i expect Samsung to allow fingerprint to snap selfie pictures.

  • My phone too is very healthy It exercises regularly & never misses it's daily vitamins intake

  • I'll buy this phone in a few days and I'm very happy My phone is made of vitamins and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to buy it

  • I have big problem about the sim signal stress, lot of people call me but they have got the message which say the mobile not available at the moment I think a 30 has the worst signal strength at all

  • Better to do the factory reset and use it, then you feel better than previous experience. I also have the same issue but after factory reset the phone works fine. The reason for to do the factory reset is some unwanted apps may be install by the sales persons or retail stores. that's why when you purchase any mobile first we need to do the factory reset and use it. This advice I received from one of my Friend. Samsung Mobile is always best.

  • im a pubg player after 3 months i had a problem that the screen works automatically and some touch sensitivity problems

  • The phone has very poor camera when it comes to record video as during lowlight video turns out to be very dark you can literally see nothing, the back of the phone is very cheap,it catches scratches very quickly,I personally recommend buying the Redmi Note 7 it's hundred time better than this cheap samusung phone as Samsung has compromised so much on this phone as they've only invested i. the design.

  • Tell him

  • How long does the battery last?

  • I've been using this phone for a month and I gotta say... this phone rocks!!! For the past month I've been abusing this phone and pushing it to the limit. When I'm using it outside, I'll set the brightness level to 100% for hours. I've installed countless games and play it till the battery drained to 5% every single day. I was worried that this phone's screen might get burn-in since it's amoled but somehow, amidst the the abuse and all, it's still fine.

  • got my A30 past 2 month, over suddenly got into black screen, don't know why..i tried to hard reset with no success still is in black screen, not showing anything.

  • I use camera pro to record 4K videos

  • So rn7 is better than a30?

  • Pls, which security level are you on?

  • No

  • any one got October update? my phone baseband version is A305FXXU2ASF3

  • Yes ✔

  • Does any one has a problem suddenly a30 signal strenth is lost

  • does this support fortnite game ?

  • Got mine 2 weeks ago and I'm really enjoying the phone. At least it is far better from the last device I used (Asus Zenfone 2).

  • dual band wifi is not connecting can anyone help me ???

  • Had the phone for 4 months now, camera quality is perfect for day shooting, wide angle is also kinda acceptable for a 5 MP.

  • Is the 3gb version available in Nigeria?

  • How is the camera quality?

  • I got mine 2months ago.july security

  • I got mine 3days ago

  • I got July security update today, anybody else got it?

  • it consumed too much ram and i have no apps dowloaded on my device

  • I have got the a30 for nearly 4 months now, it is a really good phone except for the gps and the signal but not too bad anyway The problem is that the battery was soooo good but after 3 months it doesn't complete one day!

  • One of the best phone from Samsung. It's really good and Best for price. Thank you Samsung.

  • is this otg?

  • I have Xiaomi Redmi Note7 and later on bought a Samsung A30. Both phones for me are good and using them for almost 2 months now, they have almost the same price (766sr and A30 715sr). Redmi has a built-in call recorder that's why I prefer it as my daily driver. Whereas A30 has a very good amoled display and lighter in weight. With that price, Redmi w/ 128/4gb ram compared to 64/4gb ram of A30 as per their price. What I like in A30 also is the sim card tray that can accomodate 2 sims and memory as well. I really like the "Finder" apps of A30... If I have to choose between the 2 of them, I prefer the Redmi coz' it has better camera w/ image stabilization for video, eventhough it has no wide angle. By the way, It's my 1st time to comment here on GSM Arena and it's an honest opinion.☺

  • What do you expect from this price?lol

  • good phone but missing 4k and 60fps

  • Alright thanks but then at dark conditions the phone also finds it difficult to focus. Until there is a little light..anyone noticed this also

  • That's all a lie

  • that is autofocus mechanism sounds like, Yes, that's normal

  • The a30 device is very bad, hang, bad network signals and screen touch is suddenly freez

  • Not bad and not very good either. But it has some convenient feature. Average considering it’s price.

  • Samsung A30 is Average not good or bad. but Moto One P30 is better than A30 performance. Samsung please correct the One UI 1.1 is mixed with earlier experience 9.5 app icons in some apps (Contacts , Video player , Masseges , Device Care memory cleaner , Camera, and phone) and Samsung Device Care Security feature isn't working for web browsers, Samsung please give separate app for device security and browser security.

  • Hello guys I just got the galaxy A30. Each time I open the back camera I hear a tiny tick sound from the camera. Is this normal. The sound is very tiny

  • My gripe about this phone is that it has random stutters when multitasking. I'm sure it will be fixed in an update soon

  • hello anyone know about network setting, wifi working but mobile data not working

  • Sounds like your device is defective. Get it replaced from your vendor.

  • I clear the browsed data (settings > apps > chrome or any browser) after i use the browser (chrome, Samsung browser). If i browse internet more than 30 minutes with mobile data not WiFi (i don't have WiFi access), The battery also drain quickly (every 2minutes 1% decrease, but after 75% every minute 1% decrease). I change my sim for different operator also, finally i received same result.

  • What exactly do you do in your browsers that the phone heats up so badly?

  • Samsung A30 is avg performance. Bcz some main issues are, 1. The backed side (between camera and fingetprint) of the phone getting heat quickly when we use the chrome or any browser. 2. Sound quality is worse for phone calls. 3. Samsung widget icon disturb every time when we restart the device. 4. Privacy is average for One UI 1.1, Somany apps are running in background. 5. Every 7hours we need to recharge the phone, the battery drain quickly. Guys anyone have the above issues, Please reply.

  • Excellent device for daily use. Thk u Samsung.

  • Those are just app opening times. Use them for an extended period and you'll notice the A30 is better

  • I advice everyone to bye this device..excellent for average use.

  • One of the best mid range devices. Excellent performance and battery backup. There r many people who give negative comments but believe me they r just fanboys of other companies. Highly recommend

  • Hi Iam deepa This phone network problem How to u use

  • for same level with a30. u can try f11 oppo. i bought that one. so far so good

  • Galaxy A30 is best midrange phone.

  • you are wrong because a30 is optimized with full hd+ means 2304x1080p resolution and a20 with hd+ display 1570x720p is lower one means faster processing in user interface based on resolution

  • The A30 is not better than the A20 in terms of performance,check all the YouTube video comparisons and the A20 trumps the A30 in most head to head contests..

  • When i clean the memory in device care some apps icon shows Experience 9.5 icons (Ex: massage, contacts, camera). Why experience 9.5 mixed with ONE UI 1.1 ? My galaxy A30 always heat when icontinuously use more than 45 minutes. Battery also drain quickly after factory rest. We need to carry the power bank with us. We're not satisfied with this phone performance. Next time I'm going to choose Moto.

  • I bought 1month ago Rating for calling and displaying too much lag 0 star Slow performance to operate 0star More application installation will be HANG everytime Don't waste MONEY on this COMPASS BOX NO VALUE FOR MONEY

  • Samsung A30 is avg performance. Bcz 1. Rear camera zoom image still aren't clear. 2. The backed side (between camera and fingetprint) of the phone getting heat quickly when i use the chrome or any browser. 3. No monthly security updates. 4. Sound quality is worse for phone calls. 5. Then and there mobile internet signal getting drop. 6. Samsung widget icon disturb every time when i restart the device. 7. Privacy is average for One UI 1.1. 8. Wifi download speed is upto 72Mbps. We expected 150Mbps. (Nokia 5 support 5Ghz with 150Mbps). 9. Somany unwanted apps are running in background. 10. Every 7hours we need to recharge the phone, the battery drain quickly (when we watch movies or browse internet with mobile internet or play mp3 music or use video recording for 1 hour)

  • Is it waterproof

  • Hello...my A30 show i must check the charger connection...but everything is right

  • It is a big mistake to wait from samsung not to lag. All of them lag all believe me i have seen lag these too: s6-s7-s8-s9 even s10 and note 9 this is not to believe but even note9. This will never end and thats becouse i never buy a crap from samsung never ever. Stay calm bro money dont scream. You can give them wherever you want. Bye bye.

  • Cord for charging, is Android charger available to it? Or only type c?

  • Samsung A30 is my daily I don't have a problem with this phone. but if you are a pubg player I have one problem with that, the gyroscope one my Samsung A30 is startert sometimes cannot function. If you play pubg use the gyro I don't recommend this phone or that just a software problem and can fix with updates

  • I am using the redmi note 7 right now and I'm happy to say that it has not failed me. Excellent in pretty much every way. Also the only advantage a30 has is it's display. However, note 7 is faster than even a50 in some conditions so it's up to you.

  • Car 12

  • I've owned thos phone for the past month so am going to judge it : The Performence is literally trash sometimes and slows down, making videos using instagram or snapchat is super slow and laggy, viewing stories on instagram is laggy af every thing slows down, you cannot use it for heavy multi tasking even tough it has an Octa Core processor and 4Go of ram, I think it needs a new software update. The only good thing about this phone is the Amoled Display. Otherwise, I really don t recommend this phone, i'd rather have a redmi note 7 or an Oppo F9 than this.

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is the best among all of them.

  • Motorola P30 Play. battery performance is great.

  • I agreed bro, you r correct. If the launch powerful energy savings cpu then why they increase the battery capacity, why they introduce triple or quadruple rear camera? even they can manage the quadruple camera performance in single camera.

  • Meizu x8

  • What is the best phone? Samsung A30, mi note 7,huawei y9 prime

  • Ordered A30 from Samsung.com India site on Sep-4. I received a July manufactured phone. Within one day of use, the display went off and did not turn on.... I argued with Samsung Service Center for a new replacement, they denied. They opened and fixed something and said the problem is rectified.. They said that if the same problem repeats, then they will give brand new replacement... After one day of use, again the same problem recurred, Samsung Service Center issued DOA certificate and agreed to give brand new replacement.... I purchased A50 3 months back which is also an average phone.... Only problem in A50 is that the battery drains faster during idle even limiting the background processes..... I highly doubt that the current gen Exynos chipset are not great...... Samsung quality has gone really bad in the recent years.... J series and the original A series were much better in terms of quality..... Instead of multi cameras, let them provide one camera with great sensor.... Phones are becoming big and bulky... When every newgen chipset is delivering great power improvements (thats what been told during every new chipset launch), why should the battery size keep growing? If the display size is cut down to 5 to 5.5 inch, even the 3000 mah battery should long last with the quoted power improvements in the new chipset.......As the battery size increases the heat emission increases, please mind about it, which is same as eating too much sweets....

  • A30 is better in terms of performance ram camera display A20 has below avg

  • It has lags when using apps such as Instagram and etc?

  • how to setup brightness for 30% ? we noted it's heating quickly when we use the web browser and angle zoom image not clear.

  • I've been using Samsung Galaxy A30 for almost 3months. Based on my experienced.... BUILD AND DESIGN: It is so Slim and Light that when I compared it to different phone on the same price ranged it really stand out on how Slim and Lighweight it is. DISPLAY: Nothing beats Samsung Amoled Panel Period. BATTERY: It has 4000mah even if it is Slimmer and Lightweight compared to other competitors. 15W tops up my phone in about an hour and 45 minutes. I only charge my phone once a day. I did an experiment where I use the phone straight until it dies out. And it lasted for about 10hrs (Mostly Playing Mobile Legends and Watching Youtube Korean Drams "KBS Five Enough", Instagram, Facebook, Browser, Reading GSM Arena News, Twitter, Customizing Homescreen Interface. With 30% Brightness, Location, Always on Display and Sync on.) PERFORMANCE: This where it loses to some competitors...... I think the performance is average but below average considering the price vs competitors. Overall the phone was snappy as long you don't run multiple heavy task like Heavy Games etc. CAMERA: Another department where it loses a bit to other competitors in Low Light Photos considering the price. Daylight Photos: are on par to other similar priced phone, it actually excels in Dynamic Range, Exposure, Excellent Edge Detection and Color Reproduction. But slightly losing to zoom Details Daylight Video: it also excels in Dynamic Range and Color Reproduction but Auto focus is somtimes slow. Daylight Selfies: This is where it Excels!!! Excellent Edge Detection, Color Reproduction (as long as beauty mode is off), Dynamic Range, Details and Exposure. Daylight Ultrawide: Ultrawide angle is a little bit underwheliming there is no lens correction so pictures are having some distortion. Details is also not good, that is a given because of low MP. Regardless, Dyanmic Range and Color Reproduction is Good. And ultrawide is a good feature to have. Night Photos, Selfie and Videos are average. But in extreme dark condition it is somewhat hit or miss. Especially when using Ultrawide it is totally a miss.

  • Removable batteries have not been available on cell phones in the last 5 years.

  • hello guys i want to buy a new samsung phone but i am really confused between samsung galaxy a20 and samsung galaxy a30 can anyone suggest me which phone should i buy i totally cant understand that samsung galaxy a20 and a30 difference because a30 have just few more advanced features in it and here is a huge price difference please now my friends can any one suggest me which phone should i buy...

  • I do have this A30 but the camera settings doesn't work....so you better do something before we choose to throw it......

  • You may have enabled the always on screen mod

  • All the popular phones having non-removeable batteries

  • 01. may be your mobile network signal strength is low (check the dBm for your network) 02. some background apps may be running (use the apps that recommended by Samsung galaxy store or google play store) 03. Keep Brightness Auto. 04. Turn-off WiFi, Bluetooth if you aren't using. 05. Set the time limit for AOD. 06.Keep optimize the phone regularly in settings. 07. Main thing is use the correct charger that you received from phone. Reset the phone and check the above Tips.

  • hai friend, i have a question, my a30's battery goes drain 1percentage in every minute in normaly usage. why ?

  • Cat 4

  • Realme 3 pro, but go for the a30 for the display

  • No

  • No, 15w only

  • what if a30 is charged with 45w?

  • So what do you do when the battery fails? Why no removable battery?

  • I used SAMSUNG Galaxy A30 to watch 1,080p video by using mobile data. It consumed 15% per hour. Now I am using Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, also has a same battery capacity with A30, but it just use 10 - 11% per hour only.

  • how to increase the call sound for this phone? very bad call sound. the Galaxy a30 getting heat quickly when i use chrome app (front top side display - near the earpiece)

  • Samsung A30 has wireless charging support yes or no

  • how are they now

  • A30

  • It is agood phone , guys how is functional fm radio ? Please help me ?

  • A30 is better. Better Battery and display.

  • y9 2019 or a30 which better???

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is better. MIUI is smoother than SAMSUNG One UI, battery life is more durable and better speaker.

  • Hey which phone should i buy for long term normal use? Samsung A30 or Realme 3 pro? Please reply.

  • All the HUAWEI and NOKIA phones that you mentioned have slower internet speed, whether is download or upload or both. Xiaomi Redmi phones are cheaper but do not mean that the quality is not good and cannot compare with SAMSUNG and HUAWEI. Two things that I can confirm are the display of Xiaomi Redmi are better than HUAWEI and NOKIA and the internet speed is also faster than the two brands.

  • Hi freands .I have a question. What do you think better? Samsung A30 or xiaomi redmi note 7 ?

  • Hi Friend. Thank you for your Idea. one thing you have to note, this opinion isn't misguide any people (people's aren't trust only one person opinions) opinions aren't only for Galaxy a30, if you want you better check the other opinions for each and every mobile brand for other peoples. (Samsung brand is much better than Chinese brand) Samsung has always Genuine software and hardware parts (Nokia ,Apple,Motorola LG and Sony also better like Samsung).

  • I am planning to buy a new device, just confirm me one thing whether this device's Indian variant supports dual VOLTE or not.

  • I saw a guy commenting everywhere that A30 and Motorola One Power are better than all other phones in this price. Were you tricked by him? I hope Gsmarena does something about people that misguide people like this.

  • Motorola One Power is better, but are these your only options? You can get much better phones in this price. Realme 3 Pro, Realme X Nokia 8.1, Nokia 7 Plus Huawei P30 Lite, Huawei Y9 Prime 2019, Huawei Y9 2019 Honor 8X In fact, there are much cheaper phones that are better than these two phones: Honor 10 Lite and Realme 3. Redmi Note 6 Pro is another cheaper option but it doesn't have as strong quality as the two above.

  • Samsung Stock Android pie with one UI drain the battery. Experience 9.5 much better than ONE UI.

  • camera for panorama and slow motion image quality is worse. why camera lens are shaky for panorama and slow motion. Samsung phones are expensive but Android stock OS, performance and durability are poor when compare to Motorola and Nokia. Motorola One play30 and Nokia 7.1 both are cheap and best.

  • After install aplication, so open the tab aplication, loading aplication list is very longg.. (blank no list aplication)

  • The best fon budget ever....

  • What LTE cat on this smartphone?? Your specs are incomplete!

  • Do not update devices related to Samsung, with the exception of upgrading android versions.

  • A popular game in Southeast Asia, it works good as well...

  • Do not update your device except for upgrading android versions, because it is many issues

  • Maybe the standby time.

  • First time I heard about weaker processor helps it save battery. If that processor weak then Samsung how they update the OS from 7.1 to 9.0? Battery capacity also 3600mah for j7 pro. Can you explain what is weak processor?

  • Lol!!! :-) he must be like me, my nephew helped me to pronounce "PUBG" when it first came out :-D

  • Maybe a weaker processor helps it save battery.

  • It's a game dude..lol.

  • Guys which is best Motorola One Power (P30 Note) or Samsung galaxy A30.

  • j7 2017 loudspeaker is better than a 30.

  • Guys why Galaxy J7 pro (2017) battery using hours are better than A30? (J7 - 107H but A30 92H.)

  • Both the cameras aren't working

  • Which game did you played? What about for sound for game? Online experience for games?

  • I have no problem with it when it comes to gaming. Very good performance, no lag. Super smooth. ;)

  • Okay. And what about in overall performance?

  • Yes I have the same problem too! I thought it might be solved with software updates but no. It doesn't connect to the wifi and simple says scanning even though the connection is good as my other devices work

  • What about gaming performance.

  • Yes . yes it does have always on display

  • Yes, it has

  • What is the last update for this A30 ? Update file size?

  • anyone else experiencing the fault in the headphone Jack help on solutions

  • Does the A30 have always on display

  • Who is a Mobile Legend...???

  • Felt great gaming on this phone. I'm pretty sure mobile legends works well on max setting.

  • Worst. Its connect to wifi, only and only its close to router. Even service centres and dealers are not helping, though they knew it. They said it's a manufacturing problem, we can't help. Since using Samsung from last 10 years but such type of errors and service regarding problem makes me to say ...... don't buy any products of Samsung

  • Go for A30 it's the best of the lot you mentioned.

  • is it good for mobile legends?

  • Hi guys, anyone's receive the July month security update? Now A30 getting heat up quickly when use the Google apps (chrome, YouTube) more than 30 minutes. After June update battery drain quickly for Google apps even samsung music player and video player. Sound quality is very worse. How to inform the issues and bugs to Samsung? When Samsung release Android Q for this phone. Nokia and Huawei going to release Android Q.

  • what about A30? A50 seems a little extra for me. Between these four, which one functions best?

  • Go for A50 if you need massive storage & good cameras but dont opt for the A6 or A6+.

  • I'm looking for suggestions. Should I buy Samsung Galaxy A30, A6, or A6+? Or any other phone? My top priorities for a phone is bigger memory, and a good front and back camera. Which phone operates best in these areas? TIA.

  • One ui is not near stock android

  • So you turned on the power saving mode before charging?

  • does it have heating issues please answer before i buy it ?

  • Used this device for few month. Thing I hate about this device is the speaker One of the worst speaker I heard from a smartphone. It sounds terrible. Toggle mono audio makes it sounds much louder but still mediocre speaker output. Performance is decent. You can get much better performance from other budget phone from other brand. Only good things about this device are the display and software. It's difficult to get full HD super amoled display at this price point. Display looks punchy and viewing angles are great compared to my lcd pocophone. Software is great with android p. Nearly stock android but still not very optimised and switching apps felt choppy. If you value display and playing light games. This phone is still a great buy.

  • Good performance and battery for a fair price

  • What about USB On-The-Go?

  • Very affordable and offers a fair value of money.

  • Motorola One Power (P30 Note) is better than Samsung galaxy A30. bcz, Video 2160p@30fps can record. Selfie camera include LED flash. USB On-The-Go, Li-Ion 5000 mAh battery.

  • For this price this phone performance is much better. but only one issue is sound quality for phone calls. other than that I didn't found any issues for this A30. If you want better performance phone then you have to buy M40 or A80. If you not satisfy with the phone performance then you can give the feedback to Samsung official website. Then they will give the solution for your request of performance.

  • What is the performance that you expected from this phone?

  • That is right, you are 100% correct.

  • samsung A30 = rubbish

  • Very poor performance

  • China brands phone refers to HUAWEI, XiaoMi, oppo and vivo, smart guy.

  • June and july update?

  • how about charge, talk time

  • Chinese phones we call China brand phone. Once you take all over the world the 80% of mobile phones manufactures are from China.

  • You're welcome. I bought the XZ when it was released & was really expensive back then but I was really disappointed with its camera which was literally crap pics looked grainy for a phone which was especially camera oriented then (it also used to shut down due to overheating) & decided never to buy a Sony phone again.

  • Many thanks,

  • Turn off the "Smart Stay" feature for extended battery life

  • I think Samsung phones has better build quality than Chinese brand phones. I have experiences buying Chinese made items like shoes "made in china" its a crap. So the next time I buy something I make sure its not "made-in-china". "Made-In-China" = "Extremely Poor Quality" they made their items look fancy to trap people buying it.

  • my SamsungA30 not receive update please help

  • Thanks bruh you saved my life. I was gonna buy the XZ because of its water and dust resistance and a powerful snapdragon processor and good cameras.

  • He said he don't like China brands phone, not the phone make in China. Both are two different things.

  • It on 5g network

  • If you don't like Chinese phones, but 80% of phones are made in China. Then what you are going to do. May be your phone made in China.

  • After reading your requirements A30 is the phone you're looking for. Dont but Sony, they're done & dusted & not with it. I was a Sony fan before & XZ was my last Sony phone which was a huge disappointment!! Go ahead with the A30 it's cheap & good.

  • Incorrect. My A30 is currently connected to my home network via network at 5 Ghz. Perhaps your router is not supporting 5 Ghz?

  • Pls give me your advises, i'm not a gamer just use the phone for calling, searching websites, social hubs (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp..etc.), using Camera and videos, Sound cloud...is it phone will be suitable for me knowing that i don't like Chines Brands and Iphone is not affordable for me , thus i'm restricted in Samsung or Sony Thanks a lot

  • Yes

  • Mine is working perfectly fine

  • Yes it has, go to settings, lock screen, it's there

  • It has

  • Does it cause any issue to battery while charging twice a day

  • Huawei Y9 2019 is better than A30. price is lesser than A30 and performance is best.

  • Same camera 10 MP resolution for me also (bcz 16 MP camera image size should be greater than 6MB).

  • What about Selfie camera 16 or 10 MP?. How to change rear camera resolution?

  • How do i change the photographs resolution , i can change video resolution but not photographs. Its taking photos at 10 mpx not at 16 mpx. Thanks

  • Hi people of GSMArena; Is there anybody here whose A30 never had any issue like battery draining faster or no Antenna or slow fingerprint unlock or anything else since they bought the phone? if yes, how long have you been having it?

  • Is it having call recording function ???

  • Galaxy A30 has gyro sensor, it's confirmed on samsung's website.

  • I agree with your problem number 2 and 5.

  • The latest update on software fixed that.

  • At this price it's a top class phone infact it has a lot more to offer considering the price tag it carries.

  • Lol you made Samsung Scared ;) ! you're nothing just a lill customer ! you'll affect nothing !

  • Get the A20 if you don't mind a low-resolution display and budget specs, A30 if you want a big phone and a good display, or try the A40 if you want a smaller phone with a good display.

  • Only you alone has all these multitude and litany of complaints and issues with just ONE device? Why don't you go ahead and buy a Note 9 or better yet pre-order the Note 10 and save we mere Mortals from your vengeful Wrath.

  • A30 works fantastic

  • A20, A30 or A40?

  • Nope

  • Yes it has.

  • is the Samsung galaxy "" A30 has an ALWAYS ON DISPLAY MODE "" ???

  • hold on.. the following issues that you have listed goes to the android OS.. in Android Pie there is call restriction.. you can't record a call and many other modifications..

  • Fast charging is not working on 3 month old A30, I check charger, cable, and battery setting every thing looks fine. But fast charging is not working Any possible solution?

  • how to use bixby ?

  • I use to hate samsung phone like the galaxy s4 due to poor battery performance but with this A30 I feel happy best budget phone for 2019

  • We are not going to worry about your comments, bcz this phone overall performance is best. can give score for 9.5/10. Guys please don't give unnecessary comments about Samsung.

  • My past experience was with Huawei, Q-Mobile, Oppo in Past. I've purchased Samsung A30 with Android 9 a few days back. I always thought that Samsung is a good brand. This is my first experience with Samsung brand. But I'm very frustrated by using this Mobile due to following Problems. 1) The most stupid problem, I have ever seen is........ a) No builtin Call Recording function. b) No support for third party call recorders e.g ACR, True caller, Call Recorder etc. 2) Overall very lazy responses. 3) Frequent hanging-up during making & cutting calls. 4) Non-User-Friendly Functions. 5) Hard to read Fonts, Task Bar & Screen contrast etc. 6) Selection of Default Sim for Phone, SMS & Internet etc. 7) Unclear contacts having >1# (Without any detail). 8) No distinguished colour for Signals on Task bar. Simm-1 & Sim-2 is unpredictable due to same colour. I'm very disappointed from Samsung brand. Now this Mobile is not more than a scrap for me. I can do faster & more user friendly functions on any other chinese Mobiles. My craze about Samsung brand is completely finished. I lost my money by purchasing Samsung brand.

  • This again? Exynos 7885 CPU 2.2GHz Dual-core (Cortex®-A73) + 1.6GHz Hexa-core (Cortex®-A53) GPU Mali™-G71 MP2 Process 14nm Exynos 7904 CPU 1.8GHz Dual-core (Cortex®-A73) + 1.6GHz Hexa-core (Cortex®-A53) GPU Mali-G71 MP2 Process 14nm The software you used to check the SoC hasn't been updated to detect the 7904

  • Then it's good, bcz exynos 7885 is better than exynos 7904 (clock speed is high for exynos 7885).

  • your phone made in which country?

  • So it'll affect the performance overall ? how did you check the processor?.

  • What are you saying? it's true or false? exynos 7885 processor not 7904 processor !.

  • It has exynos 7885 processor, poor low light camera,poor speaker sound, great display,fast charging. Its processor is not 7904, it is 7885.its internet speed is not very fast,just average internet connection speed.

  • ok?

  • this is the best phone that i have ever used.

  • MUI is what???

  • Hahaha... Huawei has the worst RAM management I have ever seen.. Even MUI's RAM management is better than Huawei's EMUI 😀 EMUI really sucks!

  • You can increase volume of your phone by activate mono audio from settings

  • HUAWEI / HONOR has better RAM management, smoother user interface and thus battery can last longer than SAMSUNG. And HUAWEI always use the latest technology in their processor. Like the one in the upcoming HONOR 9X - Kirin 810, already is a 7nm chip, using latest Cortex A-76 as big core and Cortex A-55 as small core.

  • Sorry I do not use the two functions that you mentioned.

  • It has li-po battery which degrates slower than li-ion.

  • Update: Rear camera is capable of recording 720p at 120fps

  • Have this phone for few months now and for 200€ it's great. Batery life is amazing. It now has slow motion at 720p 4x, 8x slow mo is bit choppy and it crops im. They added front cam wide angle. It's not very wide but it's ok. I came from galaxy S7 and I'm more than pleased. Never had any problem and it's pretty responsive.

  • got this phone , its almost perfect , awesome screen , good camera , runs almost all games smothly , 2 day battery with 20% left , the only bad thing is the speaker , its just bad , but gets the job done , if ur watching videos all time and sometimes gaming and checking social media , this phone is the best choice for the price , coming from galaxy s7

  • A30 & A50 are the best mid range phones you can buy right now.

  • sometime the a30 sound call is low ..m be the face in hot time take the fonea30 to law sound call ..in usa.. no hot day ..no low sound ..no hot face

  • Hv no idea when my a30 really need full 4G signal to surf internet..otherwise it will stuck..but others no problem at all

  • Yes it does. Settings >>> Lock screen >>> Always on display

  • Please, Can you explain how to do the settings for Smart capture function and image resolution change option ?

  • so Huawei Y9 2019 is better than Samsung galaxy A30? What is the reason?

  • For me, HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019). Or you can wait for the upcoming HONOR 9X, with a better processor - Kirin 810 which is 7nm.

  • Yes, it has. This A30 is just amazing phone for it's price, but sound is low for talk to other person. only sound issue for calls. other than this Galaxy A30 is excellent , compare to M20, but M30 is better than A30.

  • M20 or M30 have better battery for Samsung.

  • read before you decide.

  • Which are the better phones nearly 230 euros??

  • I think Samsung A30 is better...😍

  • Kidly guide me should I buy huawei Y9prime or Galxy a30????

  • has it always on display?

  • Its really good battery I ever used

  • I feel the samsung one ui consume more ram compare to experience 9.5. some apps are running in background. my brother using samsung J7 pro with Android pie that J7 phone battery is better than A30. I checked in Apps settings. when I restart my A30 every time I received notification from Samsung widget for installation. mainly so many Samsung apps are running in background. why sound quality is low for making a calls ? how to get better sound for calls (sound is full in my settings)? will Samsung gives Android OS updates for this A30 (like Nokia)?

  • Does this phone have power control chip? Don't know if I should be worried about it taking power after its full.

  • No it doesn't affect battery life, I've used a lot of phones in the past with fast charging & they all had good battery life for years.

  • I am using 4G mobile data, do not have WiFi.

  • My heavy use apps are youtube, twitch and web browser, I don't like to play games with a touch screen and this is a relatively cheap phone with low end SoC. Heavy use for me is using those apps for about 5-6 hours per day over the course of 2 days, that's about 12 hours of use and the battery lasts a total of 48 hours. My typical use is about 3-4 hours per day, of my "heavy apps" over 3 days, obviously this also includes messaging(whatsapp), email (gmail and outlook) and sometimes actual phone calls. In my case, using it for more than 4 or 5 hours per day is rare, between work and my gaming pc at home.

  • Yes, fast charging causes the battery to heat up. This heat causes increased battery degradation. If you go to settings Samsung allows to disable fast charging, for this reason.

  • Which internet you are using, Mobile data or WiFi ?.

  • fast charging help us to charge mobile battery very quickly. it's help for office users. and it doesn't affect the battery.

  • Can you explain me, what are the apps you are using for heavy usage and what are the apps that you are not using other period?. and how many hours you are using that app for heavy usage?. Note: I never seen any mobile phone that will support for 48h with heavy usage with 4000mAh battery!. I think you are very lucky person.

  • You should wait for HONOR 9X. I use the phone to watch 1080p online drama more than 8 hours per day and consume more than 200GB data per month. So I change a new phone yearly. My next phone will be HONOR 9X.

  • Is it true that disabling fast charging makes the battery last longer?

  • No battery issues for me, I get 48 hours with heavy usage and 3/4 days with light use.

  • ONE UI is better than Experience 9.5, but A30 one ui is consume much more ram (400mb) in background. so battery drain quickly. Then 4000mAh battery capacity isn't enough for A30. So many apps are running in background and consume more ram in A30. Then A30 available ram is 800mb out of 3.7GB ram (300 mb is reserved). so every 8 hours we need to charge our A30 mobile phone again and again, IF we charge our mobile phone like every 8 hours then A30 mobile battery will damaged then after one or two years later we can't use the A30. Then next step we need the another mobile phone, these all are business strategy. Note : Still I'm using Huawei Y625 for my daily use (without change the battery or any other parts) I brought in 2015 July now almost 4 years. A30 is my second phone. so my question is whether A30 also will support like Huawei Y625?.

  • Has anyone been able to remove the screen protector that comes from the factory??

  • I love this phone.....using for month's now.. Battery dose degrades....it's the nature of lithium ion battery. Phone performance is great

  • It's "Glasstic" as they call it, better than glass as it won't break & looks exactly like glass.

  • I was using a HUAWEI phone (both HUAWEI and HONOR are using same UI, that is EMUI) before I change to SAMSUNG Galaxy A30. I did a factory reset on the HUAWEI phone. After that, I cannot change the notification sound for the message (SMS/MMS) app and Gmail anymore. Even HUAWEI service center also cannot settle the problem. So, for me SAMSUNG Galaxy A30 with One UI 1.1 is better.

  • My SAMSUNG Galaxy A30 screen can function very well all of the time. If your A30 really has that problem, you should bring the phone to SAMSUNG service center.

  • which one is best Honor 8X or A30 ?

  • Very good mobile but screen expose to heat than it starts malfunctioning.

  • Shinny plastic back

  • How can you confirm that it is a software issue but not a hardware issue? Even it is a software issue and need a software update to fix it, you should go to SAMSUNG Members app to report the problem, or go to the service center, maybe they already has the update to fix your problem.

  • this issue is not only for me, it's for my friends also having the issue. This is not for the hardware issue , it's a software issue. so we want the proper update for the issue rectification.

  • I am using SAMSUNG Galaxy A30, 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM version. The charger output is 9.0V - 1.67A, that is 15W.

  • You should bring the phone to SAMSUNG service center for help.

  • RedMi Note 7, 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM version, in my country just give a 10W charger only.

  • can you post your experience so far here? screen-on time, lag, heating etc. Which shop/region did you buy it from, and for how much?

  • Bluetooth v5.0 (LE up to 2 Mbps) What is the meaning of (LE up to 2 Mbps)?

  • samsung please solution for A30. sound is very low for communication, even we can't use the phone when we travel by train (outside noise is high). 4000mah battery is good but ONE UI 1.1 consume more battery power in background. WiFi speed is slow even we use 5Ghz WiFi router for A30. Other than galaxy a30 is better than m20 but not better than m30.

  • Not 15w it's 9w charger for 64GB.

  • I try 4 network operators sim card (4G). For all sim the communication problem is there. Even my friends also using a30. They also having same issues.

  • A30 back glass or not

  • Ohh no another paomi mosquito spotted

  • From my experience, the answer is no.

  • I strongly believe that is the problem of your telco operator, not the problem of SAMSUNG Galaxy A30.

  • Note 7 supports 18w charger has better camera speaker and glass back

  • No bro, it's working smoothly. I didn't found only two issues. Other than that two issues the A30 is good. 1. Sound quality isn't enough for talk and listen. 2. Mobile internet speed is very high, but WiFi speed is slow. A30 is better than m20 , but m30 is better than a30.

  • depend on your preference. If you are into Super AMOLED Display then A30 is for you. If you are okay with IPS LCD display then redmi note 7 is way to go, because note 7 is much more faster than A30 in term of performance and speed

  • yes it has.

  • Does the A30 lags or stutters when opening apps?

  • Samsung please fix following issues for A30. 1. sound issue for mobile network (we can't hear properly) sound is very very low, please increase the sound. 2.one UI 1.1 consume high battery capacity (for 10 minutes it takes 0.5%), even other apps takes only 0.1% . 3. WiFi download and upload speed is slow but mobile internet speed is very very high. please increase the WiFi download speed for this mobile.

  • Good day can I ask if the sim slot 2 is openline to all networks?

  • RedMi Note 7 is better than SAMSUNG Galaxy A30 just in the SoC only. Note 7 is still using a 10W charger and IPS display. Galaxy A30 already give a 15W fast charger and a brilliant Super AMOLED display.

  • Samsung Please fix the Sound issue for 4G. we can't hear properly. Other than sound issue Samsung Galaxy A30 is great. better than M20 but M30 is better than A30. Samsung please fix the Sound issue.

  • Guys A30 is Mid range category, so we can't expect A70 features and performance in galaxy A30. My opinion is A30 great for money. it's working extra ordinary and excellent. Basically Samsung cover all the essential things in this phone. (Ex: Battery, Display, Internet speed and camera). my final suggestions are , if Samsung gives Android OS updates (like Nokia) for this mobile then this mobile is great. and Samsung please increase WiFi download speed and decrease Mobile data speed, because we can't pay high amount for our mobile data for every month. Samsung is rock. Well done Samsung.

  • I have the old one s4 but it's better in screen sense and speaker

  • Even the regular Redmi Note 7 is better than A30!

  • Is there (or will be) manual focus mode in the camera app ?

  • From what I've seen in YouTube: 1. 4K video is supported but you require a third party app 2. Face unlock may not work in low light, as it uses the front camera, unlike other phones such as Poco F1 which uses IR sensor 3. No notification light, but there is an Always On Display (AOD) 4.

  • 4K videos play back support?? low light face unlock?? Notification light?? please reply for immediately..

  • is slow motion 120fps or 240fps on this phone?

  • After you install june update. Just do ''reset'' to camera setting And slow motion will come out

  • Yes, i have.

  • Yes of 164MB, but I haven't noticed anything new

  • Has anyone got the July security update yet?

  • Guys,i have Samsung a30.i didn't get the update for slow motion yet.but friends got it. What should i do.any other guys face this problem?

  • I didn't get slow motion update for my a30.but friends got. What should I do

  • Yes it has.

  • a30 or note 7 pro?

  • it has AOD or not?

  • Be patient. Super slow motion is also in the pipeline.

  • Which one is better to buy and use A30 or M30?

  • They should've added the "Night mode" for camera like they did for the A50 in June update. It would've been a great feature for the A30.

  • The GPS will depend heavily on the weather during the time you are using the app. If the weather is a sunny day without many clouds, then it can perform good. If there are many clouds or raining day, then it is not accurate. This will happen to all of the phone, including SAMSUNG, HUAWEI, HONOR, oppo, vivo and even Apple too.

  • I faced similar issue today while using mobile data and gps. The dot flickered for a while on top left of the screen and disappeared after a while. It happened outdoors, the temperature according to google was 35C at that time.

  • The white dot is just an indication for fast access to some apps. You an go to settings to disable it. Nothing to worry about

  • Just got this for $194 & it's worth the price. I like this phone as it has a flat screen unlike the edge screens on the S-series, cameras are a mixed bag, take great pics in well lit conditions but somewhat suffer in low lights but overall I'm quite happy with the result considering it's price, battery life is great with fast charging, super amoled screen is impressive the speaker volume could've been louder though. All in all it's a good budget phone.

  • ok thanks :)

  • As good as any other.

  • how was the gps?? is it good??...i found many comments said that the gps sometimes cannot detect the location...i plan to buy this phone here in Malaysia...

  • How will they agree to change the display, because dot gets disappear after sometime

  • Thanks

  • I have the same problem on my galaxy a40

  • I haven't tried the video yet but took lots of pics with the main camera & wide angle lens which turned out to be great in daylight & indoors as far as low light shots are concerned they're acceptable but not great you can't write them off completely as it's a mid range device. Overall my one day experience with the A30 has been good as this phone (according to the price) has a wide angle lens, light weight it's a good looking phone with fast charging latest OS etc. I like this phone.

  • I want to know, for the people that has this phone, how is it really the camera and video? i really want good quality and wide or ultrawide camera. Any other detail will be welcomed, thank you!

  • go to service center and ask them to change the display

  • I'm using Samsung galaxy a30 from 1 month, i am facing an issue with display a white dot appears on display and it flickers for sometime then it disappears, it has happened 2 times since my use. Does anyone know the problem or solution to it?

  • Sony phones are not even available in many countries, they're a major failure in terms of price & performance.

  • Of course it's not gonna take night pics as it's a budget phone & doesn't have OIS but look at the brighter side at this price you get wide angle lens, such a great amoled display, mammoth battery life, fast changing etc. Sure there's a more you can get if you shed loads of money.

  • Just got the A30 & updating it to July security patch, that's really fast :-D

  • Speaker volume is really low...and cameras at night terrible. If you really want a Samsung phone get the A50...or better get another brand.

  • Yes

  • You really make a false statement about SAMSUNG Galaxy phones.

  • Can you use mirroring on A30

  • I haven't particularly used face tagging feature, but palm over screen for screenshots, if you are referring to palm swipe to capture screen then it works perfectly for me, as I regularly take screenshots and am using this feature since the day I bought this phone a month ago. And fyi, this gesture cannot be used when the keyboard is shown.

  • Even less with internet off

  • Nop. Used all of them. No difference. Stop spreading false information.

  • Very beautiful phone; I just bought it few days ago. However, the smart gestures like face tagging (keeping the fone on while I'm looking at it) and palm-over-screen for screen shots aren't responding yet. Is there anything I'm missing?

  • No way, you really have a serious problem with your unit then, because my A30 charges in 2 to 2 1/2 hours from 0 to 100 percent.

  • One thing i notice that,,,,,,,,, Internet speed in Samsung phones is slower as compare to Sony phones and also Sony UI is best. Its fast, reliable, accurate and lag free.

  • Exactly

  • A30 is superb even À70 is lagging

  • This phone is smart

  • Yeah

  • Nop. Pretty smooth for a mid ranger.

  • Gives me the same speed as any other phone.

  • The phone has problem with the internet, it extremely slow compared to phones with the same specs

  • My U Mobile got 4G+ in SAMSUNG Galaxy A30. I suggest you better bring your A30 to the SAMSUNG service center in Greentown Mall for warranty.

  • this phone has problem with internet, in-game ping always not stable unlike my old phones idk if this only my phone. ps digi always full bar 4g but when i switch to this phone it was 2 bar or 1 bar . i ve compared with other phone at same area but only a30 has the problem

  • No my MI NOTE 4 Takes only 2 n 30 hrs🖐️ lol

  • Does it lag or stutter frequently when opening and switching apps? Planning to buy this phone..

  • I've been using the phone for almost a week, i like it very muuuch. Its fast, pretty, an amazing battery, a really good camera and very budget friendly. the only thing is that night time shots with camera aren't really good. All together, very satisfied. I hope it stays this way.

  • Take both of your SAMSUNG Galaxy A30 and the charger to the nearest SAMSUNG service center.

  • I think you better go for SAMSUNG Galaxy A30.

  • a30

  • The galaxy a30 is 40 dollars cheaper than the redmi note 7 in my country. Should I go for the a30?

  • this phone is awesome and i like it but it has a very serious problem i mean it takes more than 6 hours to be charged belive that does anyone eles have this problem or no????

  • Out of the box !

  • This one of the best iPhone Samsung introduce to the market ..should I talk about the beauty of the phone ,the ram ,the camera, oh Lord ..if you the type that love good camera phone ,this is for you..if you love phones that works so perfect ,this is for you..I never regret buying it

  • I have used this phone for two months now and it has great screen but it's still a very useless phone. It frequently freezes on games my previous 1.2ghz Quadcore Samsung phone played flawlessly. Samsung should address this.

  • I've been using this phone for about 3 weeks haven't faced any problems yet greatest phone I've ever had

  • offcourse redmi 7 pro

  • how you do it ... remove the such ...

  • Which one would you recommend- note 7 pro or Samsung a30 or a50? Thanks in advance

  • Did anyone face any freezing issue?

  • Been using this phone since last month and I'm actually pretty happy with this phone overall. It's did has a pretty slow processor but it's enough for basic usage like Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and some light gaming. The camera is pretty great in good lighting but it's weakest point is in low light, it's basically impossible to get good low light photo in this phone. But overall this phone is great if you're not into very heavy task

  • Does anyone have a problem with the facial/face unlocking function? Mine doesn't work, since I bought this phone a month ago. Other than that, I'm happy with this phone.

  • Hello...did anyone got any updates for the A30 i South-Africa?

  • Which one is bette?? A30 or redmi note 7?

  • It is nirmal to get 6 hrs sot with 4g mobile data and 25% brightness

  • I wonder too!

  • Nice observation. They are agents/marketers of other phone brands.

  • All these Xiaomi agent should stop lying. I ve been using this phone since April 3rd and non of these claims is true. If u re truly not a bloody Xiaomi agent, then, be right sure u didn't buy a refurbished Samsung A30.

  • I'm a heavy user & phone lasts 1 day per charge. That is what you want from a 4000mah phone. It takes between 90mins to 2hrs to fully charge. Be aware of "unknown" apps that's not downloaded from Play Store. Overall - storage of 64GB (expandable), RAM 4GB, good performance, processor is fast, daylight photos are good, excellent battery & fast charging. I recommend this phone.

  • Its fine, just be concious of the apps you use and install, and how you set them up. You can check the review for the questions you're asking, but, I think you can get a full day of actual use with one charge(in my case I get about 10 hours of use over 3 days), the camera is ok - you should check the review for actual samples and the phone comes with a 15W battery charger, I takes about 2hrs to charge.

  • I wanted to buy this phone , but after reading somebody's comments here I get really very confused. I have questions - does battery need frequent charge, if i use mobile internet whole day, or by taking pictures. another question is does it have good quality of taking photos ? and does it really have fast charge function. please ask me

  • This device over all best but some disadvantage is below. 1. Battery 4000 mah but heavy usage drain quickly in 6 hours. 2. Back is plastic body. 3. No protection pacified. 4. No notification light. 5. processor is also slow 6. Camera is not good in low light.

  • Check if anything is syncing in the background (Google accounts, especially). Turn off GPS and make sure no app is running when it shouldn't. You can also try clearing the phone's cache from Recovery. This last step usually clears other issues too. If the drain still persists, download GSAM battery monitor and let it run for a few days, and make sure it has all the needed permissions. It will help you figure out what may be causing the drain.

  • great device yall probably have the 3gb 32gb version i have the 4gb ram and 64gb version and its awesome complains for the price

  • A really nice phone. Actually it's the reason i started to play games on a phone. Nice OLED Screen, good WiFi signal quality, the camera is somewhat bad in low light, battery holds up for 2 days on an average use. After i disabled/removed the google and samsung crapware and installed a mandatory access control i felt like home. Also no overheating issues (as reported by some people) and i play PUBG quite often. Maybe people should stop puting crapapps on their phone, use audited, non-google open source applications.

  • If I use up the battery in 1 day, 13-14 hours SoT. If I use it over 2 days I get about 11-12 hours. I tend to get about 3 days out of every charge and average 10 hours SoT.

  • almost ok Since l am using it for more fhan 1 month..... No heating issues, Nice display and Camera...... Battery doent feel like 4000 mah ..... otherwise it is nice ......

  • Mine works fine, it only gets a bit warmer when watching 1080p youtube for 30+ minutes. When you say something like that, remember to also let us know about your phone setup: screen settings and brightness, Apps that you installed, etc.

  • The earpiece is a the top edge of the phone, above the front camera, align that edge with your ear. If you cover your ear with the phone you're blocking the earpiece.

  • same question man

  • A series earpiece noise very low.

  • how is the battery life of samsung A30 (SOT)??

  • This phone always got warm even only scrolling facebook,playing whatsapp ,instagram,,no gaming ,, When charging become hot a bit,, This phone not suitable for pubg always delay and not so smooth,,better xiaomi note 7 pro for this price,, when gaming it hot so much,,can cook a egg think twice before buy this phone

  • No really, it only gets slightly warmer in the area near the fingerprint sensor.

  • Improved? Not really

  • Hi.is your phone hot while charging?thanks

  • What is the speed of LTA -A ???

  • The phone is fine, it has a really good display and good battery life, I've had it for a month and it works great, battery lasts almost 3 full days with 1-3 hours of use each day(web browser/youtube/twitch) + some phone/mail/message stuff. No Hangs, no lag and no heating issues. I disabled or uninstalled apps I don't use like facebook and I try avoid apps with ads. If I remember correctly I couldn't disable or remove facebook from the Apps settings in the phone but the play store had the option to uninstall it.

  • That's why we should not trust those clever benchmarks testing apps.

  • For clarification, the A30 employs the Exynos 7904 only. It is an improved but underclocked 7885 and many benchmarks cannot tell the difference.

  • I see lots of complaints about this phone on this site and yet when you review comments of buyers on Online Stores they are generally happy with the device they bought. Makes me wonder if people castigating this phone on here are actual users or mostly trolls..

  • Is it only my app that makes it so lagg? Even tho i use my mobile data or wifi, it makes the game so lagg. Is it just me or does anyone also experience like this

  • That is because you don't know how to use the smartphone. And the sound from the speaker is soft because the volume of the music or video file you play is soft, not the speaker problem.

  • I have a bad experience with A30. It sarts buffering after some time. It also hangs some,time.

  • I have used both SAMSUNG Galaxy A30 and HUAWEI Y9 (2019). But I do not encounter the problems that you said on SAMSUNG Galaxy A30.

  • Hang hang slow slow.I beg all human beings don't buy this phone.very little sound from speakers.

  • Do u have update software for samsumg a30??im on march 2019 update and NOT update software yet because have bad experience with software update on old samsung phone

  • What happen to my devic,e only 2 weeks,i connect the wifi and cant even play games now,is lag.horribly lag.help...

  • I've had this particular phone for 10 days. The phone lags a lot in processing light tasks like Google Play music. Just yesterday it crashed. I don't understand how or why but today it's back on. It's not in any way a good phone and I'd suggest, instead, you buy a huawei y9

  • All brands, including SAMSUNG, HUAWEI, HONOR, XiaoMi, RedMi, oppo, vivo, HMD NOKIA and even Apple do have heating a lot when you are using or charging the phone. If you are so worry about that, just go to buy a feature phone.

  • yes it is getting heated while speaking

  • Samsung do have problem of heating alot.. how about this phone? anyone?

  • I bought A30 1 month back but it got hanged today, I was forced stop & start. looks even they have hanging issue like other phones

  • Going by the specification sheet of both the 7885 and 7904 chipsets on the official Samsung website, 7904 (1.8GHz Dual-core Cortex®-A73 + 1.6GHz Hexa-core Cortex®-A53) looks like a down-clocked 7885 (2.2GHz Dual-core Cortex®-A73 + 1.6GHz Hexa-core Cortex®-A53), with some camera improvements.

  • Yes, you are correct. In "Settings -> Display -> Full Screen Apps", we need to click the three vertical dots at the top-right corner to go to "Advanced settings", in this screen you will have the toggle for "Hide camera cutout".

  • Yep, you are correct, I later found out from someone who commented on my post in another thread that, the CPUZ app is recognizing the latest 7904 chipset as the older 7885 chipset. Maybe the app software needs to be updated by the developer. All the Samsung official websites mention it as 7904 though.

  • No it has.go to settings-display -full screen apps-hide notch

  • 500

  • This makes the Sony L3 look bad... OwO

  • 7885 mainboard 7904 cpu

  • there is no 7885 variant

  • True

  • I have this phone for almost a month now. It is a good phone. I only have 1 issue...Since I bought it, the facial recognition doesn't work. Does anyone else have the same problem? Please advise 🙏

  • Hide notch function not available?company shold release any update

  • If you're talking about specs, the A30's Exynos 7904 is basically an underclocked version of the A7's Exynos 7885.

  • I am using A30 last 2 months in india. I have an issue with 4G network.i am using JIO 4g network which is very slow only this device. Please help me to improve the speed ..

  • is this phone is much better than A7 2018 ??? any review or user here of A30?? coz base on the specs that is way better that A7 2018.

  • Looks like 7885 is better than 7904, even though it's one year older chip-set. Just google the differences between these two chip-sets, you will get the idea. There is one advantage in 7904 though, that is with the camera setup, but it all depends on the phone which is using this chip-set whether it is using the full potential of the chip-set or not.

  • I'm not sure about heating up issue on A50, but I purchased A30 two weeks back, it is an awesome phone. If you need performance though, then you got to go for A50 (I personally DON'T like the in display FP scanner on this one though) as it has a better chipset than A30.

  • I'm from India, even I have got the 7885 variant.

  • No matter what brand, the back of the smartphone is going to become hot when you are using it or charging it. If you are afraid of that, then you should buy a HMD NOKIA feature phone.

  • have anyone faced heat up issue on A50? Can anyone suggest BETTER Performance phone among sumsung A30 and Sumsung A50? Please HELP ME

  • I have set the volume for media to maximum from the first day I turn on the phone. So the volume is not low for me.

  • Hi its hard to believe so many negative comments in the review section. I'm using this mobile since last 2 months with light gaming and for the daily usage but i never experienced any issues as you guys posted here. I hope everything will be fixed from the next update

  • Why is it that there are 7904 and 7885 variants of this A30? Is it country dependent on this snapdragons?

  • I bought a new A30 just few days ago and everything is good but the volume and music sound was too low please check this and fix this issue in new update

  • I also come from Malaysia and I am using U Mobile prepaid GX30 unlimited data. Previously I also used HUAWEI midrange phone with 4G. Now I am using SAMSUNG Galaxy A30 with 4G+. The speed is faster and smoother than previous HUAWEI phone. I suggest you to bring the phone to the nearest SAMSUNG service center yourself and ask the technician to check your phone.

  • *after changing to this phone

  • Hi, im using samsung a30 for a month. Im facing problem with connectivity. My internet become slower before im changing to this phone. When i change my sim to huawei, the speed is up to 60mpbs.. but when in samsung a30, speedtest only got 10mbps.. sometimes my connection is idle... what todo? Any advise? Im using umobile p99 and from malaysia. Thanks!

  • Same here, mine is 7885

  • guys please help me out. I don't know whether to buy this or the A50. What has got the best value for money?

  • Anyone knows the default password for this phone if it's screen automatically locked when not in use 4 hours ?

  • What kind of apps you have downloaded in your SAMSUNG Galaxy A30? Facebook? Messenger? If you have a Facebook account, you should use the Lite version.

  • Whats up! I check the Antutu benchmark on my a30 and i notice that my cpu is 7885 not 7904 how is that possible? Can anyone explain it to me..

  • Samsung a30 phone is just perfect ! Battery timing is just 1.5 days. If you are using lots of apps then it will take 1 day after full charge. Overall experience is Good with this phone

  • fault or corrupt memory card may cause battery drain problem. Use the phone without faulty memory card

  • After full charge.. First 10% drains so quickly and overall battery performance is not good. Please I need advice or any possible solutions. Samsung a30

  • Am having battery drain issues in my Samsung a30, please any advice or solution?

  • Sent your SAMSUNG Galaxy A30 to the nearest SAMSUNG service center to claim warranty.

  • Yes, it's there. I am using it.

  • Is they slow motion video recording available

  • In fact, a very big fat liar. Because my unit which I purchased 10 days back gives me one and half day on full charge with moderate usage.

  • your a liar

  • Very True

  • My A30 is annoying me, my phone screen is locking it self while i m using it,i have done factory reset still issue is tha same screen is blinking a bit too.

  • This is a common problem for the A30..

  • is the android 9 (pie) upgradeable to the next one thanks

  • I updated my phone into the last security patch ''june'' Everything is fine Slow motion is in ''you have to do #setting_reset'' to camera setting to bring it in after you do the update Battery is great as always Never have problem with signal or wifi. Gps and so on

  • I have purchased this mobile 10 days back and I am loving it. Fast charge is working fine and the Super AMOLED screen is incredible. With adaptive brightness it looks wonderful even under direct sunlight. I have noticed one big issue though, when I click on settings in the camera app, the camera settings screen disappears within 2 seconds, which means, I am unable to access any of the camera settings that are present on the camera settings screen. Though I don't use camera very often, it is a glaring glitch in the software of this mobile. Other than the above issue, the phone is perfectly fine. I got the blue color one and I love the shade of this blue colored phone, it feels rustic and classy. And I love the system wide dark mode option. Battery is good and lasts one and a half day with my moderate to light heavy use. I don't play much of games though.

  • After updating, the fast charge does not work in while charging with the phone off.

  • It has kight sensor

  • Nick..u are scam reviewer. There's no battery drain on this phone.

  • According to the official SAMSUNG website of Malaysia, Galaxy A30 has a light sensor.

  • I believe this are the problems of WhatsApp and Messenger, not the problems of SAMSUNG Galaxy A30.

  • Open Camera or GCam port

  • Have ur update your software or not?? im not update any software update from day buying until now

  • Does this phone produce crackling sound or sometimes echo in video calling?I have tried on both whatsapp and messenger and whenever the person speaks there is some noise.is it just me or a general problem in this phone?

  • Has anyone tried video calling on this phone?it produces a background noise like crackling both on whatsapp and messenger.is it just me or its a general problem in this phone?

  • No light sensor

  • 3 days after i bought A30, i observe the battery drains faster. Worst Battery ever. the battery drains quickly even there is no apps running. Worst customer service, after the hardware and software test, they told me there's no problem, but there is no change. do not buy this.

  • does samsung a30 have light sensor or it uses the front camera to adjust brightness

  • I bought a new A30 i think it caused delay and lag at my game🤔🤔🤔

  • This was reported at Samsung Service centre to no avail as the fault still continues even after the so called repair. I am just frustrated and don't want to sell it.

  • You need to sent your SAMSUNG Galaxy A30 to the service center immediately.

  • I bought my A30 sometime last March and the CPU is Exynos 7885. Then my cousin bought his last May and the CPU is Exynos 7904. Can anybody explain? Thank you.

  • Hey all, Thinking of buying the A30 & one of the primary uses will be as a navigation (google maps). Many positive feedback about the 6.4 inch screen but I am a little concerned about the GPS issues & the bad speaker quality … Any feedback from first-hand users is greatly appreciated

  • Where is the music player??

  • Can I remove the gorrila glass protection that comes with the phone, my display scratched accidentally.

  • i bought the A30 early May, 2019. it sometimes suddenly hanged and you wont be able to do anything on the phone. Later, it shows "System UI isn't responding" or Phone UI not responding. i can only get it to work after resetting. I took it to Slot Lagos, Nigeria and was informed that it is a software problem. What can I do?

  • It lags more a S10, sure. But it's not so slow that it's interfering with the user experience. After using it for a month I am not even noticing occasional lag or stutter.

  • actualy i dont have mine set with me so cant post it now ...

  • Can you post the screenshot of setting....I am not able to find slow mo option

  • Yes the fingerprint is fast. So far good

  • Please is there any WhatsApp group for Samsung A30??

  • one of the best phone from Samsung the screen is spot on, fast in day to day use overall good phone I got mine yesterday

  • Does it lag when opening apps? How is the fingerprint sensor? Is it fast?

  • You're right. The phone detected usage pattern & the remaining battery power (in hrs) appeared. Thanks for the info 👍

  • slo mo is for video recording....when u will record ny thing it wll show

  • From notification and control center drop down shade.

  • setting - device care - power mode - optimised

  • Iphone, my man. Iphones use 5W charging

  • How to disable the battery saving option

  • I too can get 3 days if I make sure too turn off battery eaters like GPS, 4g phone data, bluetooth, basically any connection or location device. Also using the nightmode theme. Also the screen is about 650 nits, which is WAY to bright for required use inside. I use about 25% brightness indoors and switch to adaptive brightness outside. its all about how you manage the phone But insane amount of juice from a 4000mah battery.

  • 3 hours? Mine took just over an hour for the 4000mah using the fast charger supplied. I agree with your positive comments

  • Wow I feel like I stole it at this price. The SAMOLED is as good as the s10e model but even bigger. It looks amazing. And there are options to not just change your prefered "mode" (ie Movie), but even the ability to control colour levels. For the money its worth it just for the screen. Yes you can buy similar priced chinese phones with slightly better processing power but their screens are lame in comparison. As for performance, as long as you disable the battery saving option that throttles the hardware by 20% you really cant complain for the price. Is it an S10+ no, but its 1/5th the price and if having a quality viewing experience is key to you its a no brainer. It has plenty of ram left over, 2GB, but if like my phone you remove a lot of bloatware I increased this to 2.5GB, which is plenty for the average user. Are the cameras as good as the SD855 S10+? No, again you paid 1/6 tp 1/5th the price. Do they get the job done? Yes. They take perfectly adequate photos for the internet and even the 5MB wide angle is plenty good enough for Instagram etc. Keep in mind its using a low power exynos CPU, if you keep your expectations for gaming etc in check and buy the phone for its SAMOLED, you will not be dissapointed. That is my opinion.

  • domt have any heating issue??

  • Anyone has heating issue on this phone? im just using for week and it always heat on camera part.im just playing fb,ws,instagram and not playing game but it keep heating and im using data not wifi

  • That´s the resolution. The quality of the picture is not based in how much megapixels have the camera of your phone. There are many factors involved: -the sensor used -type and quality of lenses -software optimization

  • whats lag remover app?

  • thank you so much. i was going to buy the A50 but i'm not a gamer either so i don't see the point of spending extra money when A30 gets the job done. thanks again

  • Same issues here, front camera look whitish untill I adjust the brightness, back camera should do more, it doesn't look like 16mp

  • My A30 has the best battery life of any phone i have owned. With moderate usage I am getting 3 days of battery and 9-10 hours of screen on time. GPS is perfect, no issues. I heard some other users had issues with GPS but it was fixed with last month's update. It's not the fastest phone for heavy gaming but I dont play any games. The few small games I tested worked perfectly with no lag.

  • Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

  • I have updated....however not able to find slowmo option....not in settings as well

  • Samsung is best, Apple IPhone is an American product and steal personal Data of Users to spy also it's so costly. We should go for Huawei, Samsung, Vivo, OPPO, OnePlus, Infinix all are superb and great.

  • The phone is monitoring your usage pattern, it will eventually show.

  • I got my A30, days ago. In Settings, is there a way where I can see how much battery time I have left on the device? Other older Android phones have this feature. Other than that, I have no issues with the phone.

  • latest update for a30 brings june security patch nd slow mo video recording..

  • a30 is better thtan a20

  • A20 or A30, which is better?

  • Front camera looks whitish, I always have to adjust the brightness lower, back camera doesn't feel like 16mp

  • Microphone is poor.

  • Moral of story lil boi no good get big Boi...

  • I have this phone for 2week now.. Its goood...i installed lag remover app. Scubby fast... its super smooth now

  • Of course !

  • my a30 doesnt want to turn on after using for 2 days after buying it.. still waiting for samsung center to figure out the problem

  • Hey Ben how's the battery backup? How many screen on time you get? And are there any issues with GPS? Thanks

  • Not single issue with my A30, run smoothly and fine.

  • Betcha b**** you gotta wait 3 hours for that battery to get fully charged (this boi get fully charged for around 1 hours 40 minutes) and will probably get a smaller SoT than that 6.4" mega phone with your 4.7" lil boi (also even A50 has 98 hours of endurance rating while your lcd screen lil boi has 61 hours of endurance rating)

  • Yeah comparing a phone that used to cost 850 dollars with a phone that costs around 250

  • Good day, I have tried various times to set up my fingerprint on my A30. One for one I tried left hands fingers then right hands fingers. I recieve an error message. Is there any way to resolve the problem other than sending the A30 to a Vodcom Repairs Store?

  • sunny boy...iphone 3x more expensive

  • no

  • It's like comparing lemons with oranges. Iphone 7 is so much better in every possible way. And never worry about an iphone battery. Their 1830 mAh will serve you way better than any 4000 mAh.

  • Set default eq to rock

  • If the sound from the speaker is bad during the time you are watching a movie by using Google Chrome, then you should change the browser to SAMSUNG Internet.

  • I think the best is way the pros and cons for yourself. The A30 has a bigger battery, the latest Android version, USB Type C, and an ultra wide sensor which the A6 Plus doesn't have. The A6 Plus has a metal build as opposed to plastic, and is notch free and has a 24mp selfie camera v 16 on the the A30. The A30 launches with Android 9 but the A6 Plus gets it through an update which is the last major one, so no Android Q for the A6 Plus but you definitely get Android Q on the A30 so pick your poison. Oh and the A30 is cheaper, at least in my country, I don't know about yours

  • A 30 vs A6plus ? Which one I should buy plz ?

  • Phone's speakers quality is very very poor.

  • It ils vert good

  • yes

  • Galaxy A30 does not support MHL ?

  • Yes

  • Does this phone have otg support

  • I certainly wouldn't want to get hit by my phone

  • A30 Very good phone software is very great...It's great.. Function software of the mobile phone is much improved. would like to buy Samsung phone without calling another company.

  • I wants to buy Samsung A30 64 gb but please guide me about this phone battery, camera or any other issues. Thanks my Samsung friends.

  • I have the phone, it ranges between 2GB and 1.5 GB, but don't worry these are enough for some multitasking, no hanging at all.

  • They did not put video stabilization on rear camera...wtf??? Its so shaky.... I can't believe Samsung made this mistake

  • Redmi note 7?

  • Redmi note 7

  • I'm totally confused b/w this phone and iPhone 7. Actually I've two main concerns; camera and battery. iPhone 7 camera takes great photos but lacks in battery department. What should I do? Is there any better phone in this price range?

  • Redmi 7 with gcam?

  • can anyone suggest me a best camera phone under $200

  • Can anyone confirm how much ram is available out of the 4GB, watched a review said it only had 1.5 gb available?

  • Hello.test battery life?

  • Any GPS issues?

  • a30 i buy it.. a50 last i have it i m huppy ..A30 very good.but A 50 no ask me..no no

  • No it doesn't

  • Thank you very much.

  • Super phone... No lag.... Smooth Best in Gaming Like Pubg I will recommend this product

  • Maybe the battery is empty? Maybe you dropped your phone ? Anyway you have a warranty, so you can fix it.

  • 🙏🌷 No it runs smoothly no lagging nor heating

  • Thanks. What about when surfing internet and using social medias?

  • Only on heavy games like mortal kombat

  • Does it have heating issues?

  • It gets heating when I play Mortal Kombat

  • Amazing phone for it's price range. The camera is good, the screen and battery are it's best features. One UI is great too, the speaker quality is average but overall it's a great phone for just $200

  • best phone according to price, only biggest issue is weak speaker other wise if u are gamer of high graphic games than this phone does not belongs to you. top pros of this phone are: 1. biggest battery life 2 .super beautiful display 3.camera is very good (but not good for video recording) 4. friendly ui after latest update. and samsung is a brand with good resale value

  • Poweramp is the best!

  • Thank you so much for taking your time to type this. You really helped me to solve a conundrum that has been bugging me for days.im going to buy the Samsung a20 now. Thanks a lot again. Really appreciate it.

  • I have it on all my phones version 2 on the old ones , very good music player with a great UI and features

  • Actually, this changes from person to person. Some prefer more accurate colors while some prefer punchier colors (This doesn't mean colors are way off on AMOLEDs). On IPS panels, there is back light and it gets visible on dark colors. However, AMOLED screens doesn't have back lightning, it controls pixels individually therefore it can turn them off when the screen shows black color. In short, AMOLED panels consume less energy than IPS panels especially on dark colors and black (AMOLEDs may consume more energy than IPS on white, though. Also, AMOLED doesn't have the best whites). And when this combines with the low 720p resolution, this will increase the battery life noticeably. In addition to this, lower screen resolution lowers the load on SoC and this will help the chipset on gaming. 720p is enough is daily use (I have a J7 2015 and it has a 720p SuperAMOLED panel. I haven't noticed any kind of problem with the low screen resolution). On the other hand, AMOLEDs may fail on long term and they are more prone to burn-in problems (It happened to none of my phones. Burn-in issue was common with old sAMOLED panels but not that common today.) I would go for a 720p screen regardless of type. I would prefer sAMOLED over IPS (This is my opinion).

  • Best Mobile in this price range. Best Camera Best Display and sound Very compact and sleek design to handle Designed for India

  • Suddenly bought my A30 19 days ago now it's off since yesterday it can't switch on anymore.

  • poweramp is a monstrous player

  • Stellio music player

  • You say it's a cool phone eh that's why it freezes.. Lol! Well, i think it's faulty. Rush to your seller and let them change. It's still under warranty, right? Then, after that, you'll say, it's a hot phone.

  • What would you recommend? A 720 amoled display or a 1080 LCD panel?

  • Plzz suggest me a good music player for a 30 ..personally i hate google play music...j want a music player with good bass

  • Apart from the cameras, both of them are almost the same. They have almost identical SoCs (7884 vs 7904, 2x A73 and 6x A53 cores on both, Mali G71-MP2 GPU on both) but the CPU of A20 is downclocked compared to A30 (1.8 Ghz vs 1.6 for A73, 1.6Ghz vs 1.35 Ghz for A53 cores). Battery capacity is the same. Thanks to the lower screen resolution, A20 will have better battery endurance and be better for games (You can use Samsung Game Tuner to lower screen resolution on games, though. In this case, they are equal on gaming performance). In addition to these, A20 is cheaper. On the other hand, A30 has better cameras and a higher-res screen.

  • finally got my hands on it cool phone, but now the problem is my device keeps freezing now and then

  • S10 has one malor issue. It's expensive

  • Bro how is sound quality of speakers ,?

  • send location

  • my phone suddenly log off but right now I cant log in back

  • I remember someone with a same name as yours bashing the phone few weeks ago.is this the same person? And hey how's the battery life and does it got any heating issues?

  • which one is better A30 or A20

  • Amazing phone I like.This is the best phone in these money

  • How much SOT on single charge without gaming?!

  • so???... go to flagship s10 no issue

  • This is the first phone from samsung that comes with low price and has a variety of functions available on the flag ship ....

  • right ... gorilla glass version 3 ..... I have A30 have I tested myself .... with sharp objects ... no rough scratches and smooth .... test fall from 1 meter height ... no crack effects on the screen .... yes A30 is proven to use the gorilla version 3 glass

  • Great phone for irs price!!Gaming is good on this device.But headphone jack i think it has a bad placement for gaming.So I think you should buy this phone very good for its price!! 🤑

  • Buid quality is fine eventhough it's plastic Great screen One UI is lovely Call quality is good Battery is very good Loud speaker is fine for me The rear camera is good for the price The front camea is good Both cameras become mediocre on low light. Don't forget it's not a flagship device

  • Hi.endurance rating? Battery

  • The phone is discoverable on Corning's web site, so obviously yes.

  • a30 have corning gorilla glass 3.... its true????

  • New Update Fixed That.

  • Great great phone for its price, battery and screen amazing .. performance is good too .. i dont play games so cant say about that. Only thing i found bad was low output of sound from headphone jack and speaker. Apart from that everything is 10/10

  • Don't use the the loudspeaker

  • I think when playing any vedio there is some stressing &blurring on the faces and pictures,Don't know whether it's my problem or all

  • Need help! I bought it 1 day ago! When i call without loudspeaker on, the other person can hear me clearly, the moment i turn on loudspeaker during call, my voice is almost lost and other person is not able to hear! Even at whatsapp video call the issue persist! What should i do?

  • Only two thing i dont like about this phone.speaker little bit slow for watching movie and bokeh only if camera can find a face.no bokeh for object.other then that very good ohone.

  • How much screen on time can get on average use without gaming?

  • they are giving the A50 updates because a50 got issues with its camera and fingerprint reader

  • My same concern

  • How to root galaxy a30?

  • will this phone gets outdated in future updates? it seems like samsung only focuses on giving updates on a50 and above...will they still update this years from now?

  • Good device for the price. Great battery, normal usage last for two days. But heats a bit especially when wifi tethered from 4g network. Appreciate the 2 sim slots and card slots as I want it. Performance wise acceptable (3.8), but camera seem to be over saturated. Less bloat ware. do not enable power mode, its really very annoying. Hope Samsung would add scheduled power down and up on their next update.

  • Had the phone for 1 month and 1 week. No hanging issues ever for me

  • A50 then A30

  • Have had the phone for two weeks.I updated the operating system,I find that at times its annoyingly hangs with only white screen display.

  • Please can anyone tell me what is better to use A30 or A50 or M20??

  • I regret that I choose this phone than A50...

  • I have this phone some times the camera failed but after I updated it seems the same. It also has hard time to find an available WIFI network compare to my S4 Active it can connect to WIFI network so fast.

  • HD or?

  • Not bad. But A50 might be a better choice

  • Thanks

  • Gyro is used to detect the orientation of the phone

  • does this phone have gyro? what is a gyro sensor?

  • If you are into multi media consumption and you don't care about performance that much,go for the A30.

  • Processor is decent and it depends on the usage

  • Use the in built power saving options,apply the night mode,don't use fast charging unless you are in a hurry,clear the ram frequently

  • Great phone but I have 2 questions : does after a while phone's performance will be slow or lad? Is the processor weak?

  • the samsung a30 or huawei nova 3i plz ?

  • this or nova 3i cant pick these two

  • Please my a30 battery drains fast what do I do to stop this

  • Amazing phone in everything. Highly recommended and awesome battery life

  • Yes you can play pubg at medium.

  • RN6 pro somehow managed to be below N7 in every aspect

  • garbage

  • I have tested the A30 screen resilience .... I scurry the screen with nails, knives and sharp objects .... I also drop the key on the A30 screen ... it turns out there's no scratch ... A30 for gorilla glass version 3 .... so no need to tempered glass again ...... cheap phone with specs that are great .... walla ... mamamia!!!

  • It's more close to sd632

  • It has a plastic back and not glass There is a compact phone that is similar to A30 it's A40

  • What about these models . Redmi Note 7 64GB OR Redmi Note 6 Pro 64GB ???

  • I just wanna know if the speaker is loud and if it will run games normally with average settings

  • (My mistake sorry they both have 4000 mAh battery)

  • If you prefer OneUI and Amoled screen with a 4000mAh battery go for A30 If photography and gaming is your thing go for note 7

  • Samsung Galaxy A30 Or Redmi Note 7 ? Any Comments

  • Not buy this company mobile they lost their market

  • A50

  • You are asking that if a phone, a low midranger phone, is good for high-end gaming? Wrong place dude it can play the game at HD with some hiccups but this is a god-damn midranger go for flagships or higher-end midrangers (like a70) if you want smooth gaming with great graphics

  • Hello.battery endurance rating?? Plz .

  • I have this phone for over a month, its very godd, its even suitable for average gaming (can play pubg at medium). No problems in gps, reception,speaker.All fine.

  • I low is the loud speaker? Does it affect making or receiving calls?

  • First of all, the Exynos 7904 is not a high end processor like the Snapdragon 800 series, more of like a midrange processor. For those who value high quality gaming experience, this phone can manage to run those games but not smoothly as it should be compared to better chipsets. I think I'm quite disappointed by this but for the price, it's a go-to-buy device to go for. Also the software can be appreciated cause its running Samsung's One UI and you'll be pleased by how updated this device is. For those who value aesthetics, this phone cannot go well because of its glass like plastic body, compared to aluminum frame of Nokia. But otherwise, those full screen display with the teardrop-like notch gives a lot of definition but it gives the phone a hard time for one hand due to its huge screen. I think they should release a smaller version of the phone for those users who are not comfortable with this.

  • Wt about Nokia 7 plus and A 30??

  • For the price the phone is pretty good, I bought de 4gb version and runs smooth, the screen is beatiful, the face recognition is fast and the fingerprint reader is fast too, the battery last a good amount of time. the regular camera is decent but the wide camera is bad compared to the s10. The speakers sound low. But overall is a good phone, as I said I recomend the 4gb version.

  • Is this phone good for high end gaming such as pubg

  • Nope A30 is better its chipset is copared with SD 636

  • my old Sony had the same issue. Did you drop your phone somewhere? it'd be better for you to take it to a repair centre

  • I think it's safe to buy this device. Nobody hasn't complained about anything from days here I'm looking forward to buy it next month as well.dont believe everything you read here by the way some people love to bash phones they've never used for no reason.

  • Real me 2 pro, honor 8x, huawei p30 lite, redmi 7 pro could be the best options

  • No dont buy this I bought it two days ago It is not a good one

  • Yes, u shd

  • I'm going to buy this phone and I heard negative comments Should I buy this? Please help

  • Does it support OTG Drives?

  • New software update available

  • Launched in Japan, the A30 has IP68 waterproof and dustproof properties.

  • I have a budget of 40000PKR. I have following priorities regarding phone . Should have a excellent camera Processor should b good ..so can support games like PUBG in high mode. Good design.ll give a premium look Wt would u people recommend to me in this budget full filling above mentioned qualities.

  • I have A 30 i'm very disappointe! Daily 5 or 6 time It's network goes and when i restart, then come... And mobile data has also big problem, when i calling after two or three minutes It's show no network or show 2g when restart then show 4g

  • after a long time, the gps issue still not fix in my phone, i know some place get the gps fix update but not me yet.

  • J6+ has even worse soc sd425

  • Two or three times my mobile network goes off daily

  • Samsung A20 has better camera results.

  • After using it for 12 days, what i have observed is Pros Beautiful Display Good call quality and network reception Samsung one UI is pleasure to use Good Battery life and fast charging Cons Low speaker volume Slow performance Note: GPS works fine, no issues. Cameras are good not excellent even in low light.For enhancing performance reduce animations but it will still take time to load apps. Overall a satisfactory phone if not an overwhelming one.

  • Nokia X6 (6.1 Plus) and Nokia X5 (5.1 Plus) have serious charging port issue problem. You can check it for yourself on Google by searching "Nokia 6.1 Plus charging port issue". Further, you can check it on Official Nokia Forum page which you will get in the google search result; there are lot of complaints from the phone owners.

  • they are retiring J series. Pick a A series for better future proof.

  • J6+ has a snapdragon 450 chip so nope A30 is better

  • i want asking .... my friend told me is samsung J6 plus more better performance than samsung A30.... is true or lies???... please help me with one better???...

  • excellent phone loud speaker poor

  • Worst in term of camera image quality and ultra wide camera is literally useless. 17000rs is tooooo much for this phone.

  • How slow?

  • A30 cuz of the Amoled display,better battery,decent cameras compared to the Nokia,performance wise there's not much of a different either. Go for the A30. Some might say android one in Nokia is better but Samsung ONE UI is very user friendly and eye catching. Almost forgot fast charging option and the 15w power brick Samsung ships with the a30

  • Antutu suggests A30 has gyro sensor

  • Really considering to buy it.... I really Hope it's quite a cool phone since you own it... Or what do u Say?

  • I'm A bit confused... Which would you pick for me to buy Nokia X6 or Samsung A30? Help please

  • everything is ok. just 2 problems, 1) Slow Performance 2) Loud speaker totally worst..

  • I have a problem on telegram help me

  • Both a30 and a40 have exynos 7904

  • I don't know whether I should buy this or the A50? I'm not into gaming and camera isn't a priority at

  • Different stroke for different folks I believe coz the camera (rear and front) was in excellent condition & images appeared sharp but after I updated, I noticed the images looked grainy, which was odd.

  • Dear please check the specs of Samsung A40 it have 7885. And Samsung a30 also 7885.

  • Dear but all apps like mobile info amd cupz shows that it have 7885. That's why I am doubtful. Have you check your mobile detail on these apps.

  • I have the phone and YES it does have gyroscope according to Antutu benchmark

  • Does it support gyroscope sensor ?

  • This means that it has exynos 7904

  • I am using it from 1 month one word superb phone and at best price huge display to watch movies.

  • I'm a heavy game player. I haven't seen any lag, at least, for now.

  • its actually not possible dear. galaxy A30 comes with Exynos 7904 and there is no other versions.... check properly with some apps.

  • I nearly stopped buying this phone because of the negative and overwhelming negative reviews across media platforms. After finally getting this phone I am tempted to believe many negative rated comments here are rented. This phone is breathtakingly gorgeous and has no problem with battery or GPS. I am from Ghana

  • If your Amoled is yellowish,untick Bluelight Filter on the drop down menu.

  • I got it, A30 Samsung, delivered last Friday. I saw a lot of reviews here but I was about to give up when I got it delivered. Battery is great. D camera 'was' good as I took a few pictures before I saw an update. I noticed after d update, d Camera became excellent, as in, excellent. I went for d tempered glass today, ppl in d shop were wowed by d camera quality. The Internet and GPS are excellent too. I was using Infinix Note 4 before getting it. It's like beauty and d beast. I ve not seen d Redmi or Huawei phone shaa. One more thing, I have never seen such a clear display before in my entire life. All other phones should copy AMOLED display...

  • It have 2x Arm cortex - [email protected] 6x arm cortex- a53@ 1.59

  • - A lot of undeletable bloatware. - Useless two cameras: wideangle one doesn't help shooting normal photos and has VERY few pixels. Maybe, 1 or 2 megapixels. - Very weak proximity sensor: you'd often accidentally touch the phone during calls.

  • good for student like me? I heard it has some lags??

  • which one's the faster M30 or A30? please help me

  • Use infinix note 5 which have awsome 16 mp front beauty camera with AI feature and 4500mah battery .. 4 gb and 64 gb i been using this device since 30 days

  • It has light and proximity sensor don't worry

  • Using this phone since 20 days in Pakistan and its look like a charm. With the update it became more faster and reliable. I am not a gamer but a moderate user. Before this i was using honor play but was hesitant to buy due to its chipset reviews. But after buying this i am amaze how samsung beautifully omtimized its one ui with this moderate hardware. Screen is owsum . I am also amazed to see comments below. I am not facing any kind of issues as few friends addressed below. Thumbs up to this device and in coming updates it will be more smooth

  • But the phones's configuration says that it has a proximity sensor...how???? pls ans me as Im planning to but A30, but if it has no proximity sensor then its a garbage to me....

  • Check sam a 50 ,realme 3 pro , sam m30 or asus max pro m2 ... All these mobiles are good the best battery sam m30 and asus phone , best screen and camera ... The best performance is realme ... all these mobiles are good but i am not sure if there camera are good ( on paper sam a50 and realme are good ) but remember to check their problems

  • I never know that Samsung will make such a stupid phone as the A30, battery draining on that phone is unbelievable, i have to go everywhere with a charger!! the Samsung A30 is forever having connection problems!!!! HAVE TO BE INFRONT OR CLOSE TO THE WIFI ROUTER IN ORDER TO GET CONNECTION !!! VERY DISSAPOINTING PHONE!

  • Using the a30 model 305G on AT&T in the USA. The LTE is fully compatible, and set up was standard. Coming from a Motorola G4 Plus, the phone is similar in speed(a bit faster), and has a gig more ram. The screen is incredible for the price. I mean incredible. Literally flagship quality. As for negatives, I've heard about GPS issues, but uave had none. The big con, the Facebook app comes preinstalled. There is no way to delete it, and paid apps are required to fully disable facebook ad services. For me this is no different than my Moto, which came loaded with every amazon app ever. If you're in the US looking for a budget phone, that still feels modern. It's this or the Nokia 4.2, even that has Micro USB and Blutooth 4.2, vs the a30's USB-C and Bluetooth 5.0.

  • thank you

  • thank you

  • Gps issue is resolved by an update

  • 2 weeks back I buy this phone first 2 days gps not working but now working fine overall good best budget phone for gps I try this methods restate, airplane mode, data, location on/off. Battery one day ok.

  • The GPS issue was resolved in the latest update

  • Using a30 for a month now. No gps issues with Waze navigation

  • Hi.endurance rating?

  • Hey there.i was thinking of buying the a50 but found out it has a battery draining issue.now I'm thinking of buying the a30 but seems like a there's gps issue.what should I do?

  • Anyone here from Pakistan how your experience with galaxy a30.

  • Have the phone for three days now, no lag, awesome battery nice screen and very responsive fingerprint unlocking

  • Guys i want to buy a new phone Samsung A50,. So please suggest to buy as my usage requirement is Good camera, Heavy battery, Multiple App and internet browser usage experience without any lag or phone hang experience. I do not play games in the phone. So please suggest!!!!

  • 13,990. It comes with a free clear jelly case and plastic screen protector.

  • I bought mine in the Philippines. So far, my phone is doing good. There are no GPS issues, no lags and bugs. Gaming is fine but I haven't tried high graphic games yet. Camera is okay. Not the best, but is reasonable for the price. The display is quite bright. My brightness is always less than 1/4 in normal room lighting. Battery is awesome. It'll last you a day with moderate to heavy usage and more than a day with light to moderate usage.

  • thoroughly useless product & service is worst, not expected from the brand like Samsung..... wastage of money & time, it your product dont have issue its good but if you have issues, then its hell of a job to get resolved from Samsung totally disastrous after sales.

  • my phone crashed. it hung up and screen no longer responded. had to send it back to the cellphone shop to have it checked. hopefully it will be replaced because im worried if they will repair it and replace it with substandard parts

  • Which one is better A30 or A40.

  • priced at 14,000 php

  • I'm thinking about buying this phone ... what do you recommend ?? thanks

  • A30 or redmi note 7?

  • I am having some issues with the phone not connecting to any wifi network go to the store today

  • After the update I mentioned earlier the GPS issue was resolved however I observed some touch screen issue. it tends not to respond to touch sometimes. Samsung needs to work on this

  • just wondering how much this phone in Samsung store in the Philippines ???

  • It works fine in Trinidad and Tobago....

  • I remember when the A3 was a phone you could comfortably use with 1 hand.

  • Facing the same problem even the service centre also done the software update but finding no improvement.

  • Even I facing the same problem proximity sensor not working.

  • Working just fine , No gps or any issues , baught it from UAE, using in Egypt , nice battery, very good screen, I don't about the camera, I don't use it.

  • gps is working 100% fine here in Pakistan. There might be problem with some batches in some regions as few friends are reporting. But no issues on gps in my device.

  • Hi,battery endurance rating?

  • Please, when was this update released?

  • I just got the phone on the 26th and I'm loving it. However, I observed the GPS issue and just downloaded an April 1st update as I am typing this now. I sincerely hope it fixes the GPS issue. it really charges fast and lasts long. it is really sleek and I don't regret buying it, at least not yet. Once the GPS issue is resolved, I will be fine

  • i m using this phone ewcently recined sn update for proximity and gps issue and it is working proper now

  • I bought this phone two days ago. I love it, long lasting and fast charging battery, good smooth os, performs tasks well. I don't play games on phones so I don't about gaming performance but overall it is really good for multi-tasking. I don't have gps issue like many in the comments do.

  • Yes there is a recent update regarding the gps issue.

  • after the latest April update, gps problems gone and sound is good too..love this phone yay hip hip hooray

  • he there.do u have any problem with gps sensor of it?

  • I'm using this phone and so far, its worth it

  • Can someone tell me if the new update fixed the GPS issue? I'm really looking forward to buy this phone but this gps thing is making me hesitant.wish some YouTube reviewers talked about it but nobody seems to care about the a30

  • Don't think you own A30

  • i was facing the same issue then i downloaded proximity sensor calibration apk from olay store and its working properly

  • The indoor camera quality is very poor... my old j2 camera better than this... and the gps is very bad

  • Made in Malaysia?

  • Sadly in Egypt the latest update (26/4) only contained camera and security fixes , gps still faulty

  • After looking at the specs and looking at my wallet, I guess I will settle for Samsung A20.

  • Gps has great issues , detects location just initially but then fails to refreshes making navigation impossible, maps keep saying "gps signal lost" Other navigation software than google maps show the same malfunction so i believe the problem is probably hardware All calibrations and software updates or safemode failed to resolve the issue (EGYPT 64 4GB bought 10/4)

  • New update out to improve it

  • Every thing is good.. but battery performance is very bad ..

  • good phone. only that sometimes ppl calling me cant access me,reasons i don know yet I'm always on. i think it's when i have data on

  • Thanks

  • No brother i am using jazz warid 4g LTE. No problem there. Plz contact you operator zong

  • hi, i am using this phone approx from 1 week every thing is working fine. Only i am facing the issue in 4g network. I am using zong. so time its work fine but most of time i face the issue on 4g. have you any such type of issue.

  • hello dear. i am also using this device but i have a problem with 4g on Zong. I want to know that have you face 4g issue on this or not.

  • Hey fellas, does the GPS issue continue with A30? I'm considering to buy this prone but I'm waiting for the GPS issue to be fixed.

  • is there any problem with proximity sensor i have problem proximity sensor and i replaced phone and new one have same problem when call put phone in ear screen off when i take off from ear its still off if i restart phone its work for day and after not work

  • thank you so much for sharing this

  • Is pubg good on that device on med ... Is there any soft. Problems ( not fixed with update ) ???

  • Hello friends, Is this phone have a led flash for selfie camera

  • Today received new update in Pakistan with April security patch, camera fix and for device stability. Device is much smooth now and working fast. I think think this device amongst gew devices getting updates rapidly. Good samsung. Hopefully in next update device will be more nifty as Samsung knows how to optimize own built chips with their android skins.

  • I heard that that last update fixed all the problems in soft. And maintain the headphones sound ..... Is that right

  • Dont by this fhon heating problem during charging and wathing videos hanging and slow prosesr cemra not well in this price point

  • one plus

  • Go for the samsung A50

  • Is this device good while playing PUBG ASPHALT on medium

  • I want a mobile for 4 years use i am a heavy gamer but any soc above sd 625 will be ok .i need good battery and cameras .... Can anyone suggest me a mobile

  • Is the lag noticable?

  • So no issue with GPS as these people have been saying?

  • If I bought this phone, would the problems such as stutter and GPS not locating me be there? Most of the comments on this phone seems to have to talk about its problems..

  • Interestingly apps are working super smooth but one ui main apps like dialer and sms and other builtin apps are glitchy. Samsung you need to to fix one ui on this phone

  • Hi i am using this phone in Pakistan. Everything is so good and i am much amazed to see comments below. Only problem is with One UI which is sluggish as of now and can be fix with future updates. Further chipset is capable, screen is great, camera is good. For day to day task its quite a good phone with good speed.gps is already working fine. I am a regular user of careem and uber.battery is supurb.if you want more you have to pay more. If you want flagship experience, you need to go for s and note series. I was used to on chinese OEM's but after getting samsung the experience is quite good and the main reason is crunchy amoled display.

  • nah i think you use a Chinese phone and mad at A30 for no reason. i've been using it and it works decent

  • dont buy this bull shit phone a30, im using it it have lot of bugs camera,cpu perfeormance, fast charging

  • Live focus only work in outdoor.

  • It's a low-mid range phone. Great screen and battery. Camera is so so. But I plan to return this phone as the GPS doesn't work at all. It can only find location based on wifi and cell data. I've installed GPS Status app, no satellite in 15 minutes outdoors.

  • No, there isn't. Suffice to use Always on display for notifications bro

  • Same prob front cam live focus not working

  • A30 is great

  • Here also facing the same prob

  • I amalso facing this issue with front camera live focus camera failed. how to fix? and also loud speaker mic is not good.

  • Does it have app lock

  • Is there LED notification light on this phone?

  • NO. get A50

  • Go for the A50 instead

  • Yup

  • Does this phone support otg does anyone know?

  • A30 has the stupidest sensors among all the phones specially GPS.Low camera is absolutely RUBBISH.I regret buying this.

  • Flagship from 2 years still better than mid range from now. Just perform a hard reset (after a backup), you will get a brand new phone as fast as before.....you could even ask for a battery change if necessary.

  • While running YouTube, Scroll not working properly This is an issue with A30 Samsung

  • I Don't hace any lag, buy A30 awesome cell, liked so much

  • You should be yoo unlucky, mine has a very good gps.

  • Get A50

  • Just watched a Youtube video on speed comparison of the A30 against the M30, apparently OneUI isn't optimized well for the Exynos 7904. Is anyone experience any lag in mutiple apps when opened?

  • What's new after the last updated of 1 March 2019 Do you advice me to install this update

  • I'm in NYC, but my sister bought this device from U.A.E. Only 180USD. Unlike India/Europe, Samsung devices sold there are not region locked.

  • Change the UI to stock android,go to Developer options and select Animations on off and everything else.Select HD quality of screen and check up the memory used.Upgrade to 8.0. My S7 edge is flying far faster than S9. The camera out beats all budget models released these recent years and it has all flagship needs.You don't need all these budget friendly bad devices. Save more money and wait till S10 drops in price.

  • I have a 2 years old Samsung S7 Edge, I wanted to sell it and buy a newer model phone since it kinda started to wear down recently, you guys think selling it and buying the A30 a good idea?

  • which region are you ?

  • GPS in mine is working flawlessly. I drove three hours today & it was very accurate. Also tested it indoors with the GPS test app. Maybe it's a software issue for a specific region.

  • Dude we get it. GPS is bad in a30. You don't have to post the same comment over and over

  • did you find any solution about live focus camera failed i am also facing same problem

  • The advantage in this phone for me is getting rid of using GPS navigation in my commutes. Because the gps in this phone is the worst ever and you could not depend on it any more.

  • is the camara hole the same as A20?

  • MOBILE is awesome everything's is good.. fake people fake comment they love Chinese phone like oppo vive or mi ...Samsung A30 is great phone

  • Bought Samsung A30 in last week, I am surprised it is so lowsy in running apps properly especially ones related to location-GPS. Uber, google map. It doesn't feel fast enough in its processing. Multiple apps work lot better in my Samsung A8 from 2015.

  • Stunning design and battery every function seems good but LOL sound quality of speakers?

  • Is it a faster processor compared to the Huawei Y9?

  • it requires pin i didn't even put on the phone

  • Does it have S health or step counter in it

  • a30.. speaker pecah

  • Can you please tell me the LTE-A speed

  • My company bought 5 unit A30 for food delivery rider use to navigate customer side using waze or google map, then we realised the gps is so terrible ,it takes more than one minute to receive a signal, even after the signal came, the gps is not moving at all when my car is moving or jump to random location, not accurate very unusable. I update the phone to lastest software, i did all the customer support told me to do (clear cache , restart phone, reset.. blabla...) the problem still exist. I went to service center told them the problem and they were doing some software and give back to me and i send it back to them because the problem still there, then they replace the phone for me after 2 weeks AND THE PROBLEM STILL THERE LOL. After that they were blaming the service providers regarding this problem. Even they doesn't know how to resolve it. After the hopeless samsung service support, I seacrh around the forum and community for help, i see many ppl is talking about the same gps issue. GUYS IF GPS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU DONT BUY THIS PHONE

  • It's take time to load or it shows wrong location

  • same here....this problem is occured only in front camera....how i can fix it..? plzzz help me

  • i also facing the same problem....how i can fix it....plzzz help

  • Have you ever wondered why these Chinese phones were cheap? Yeah they offer good Performance but I'd say for a better overall Performance, go for the a30.the amoled display, fast charging, one UI, after sale service, low Sar value is good enough for me

  • how fliciring ? on starting or during use ?

  • A30 is a joke, autofocus is slow, speaker is soft, phone is slow, Gps is slow...etc. Y9 is a good mid range, A30 is low range.

  • Warning camera failed during use live focus...help me I'm also suffering from this problem...can you help me....i have also a30 mobile

  • Same here, only happen on front camera

  • i tried live focus but its not working stuck and error received camera is closing its closed.

  • When i open camera then select live focus option.after 5 seconds it shows error "warning camera failed" then camera shuts down and home screen appears. Anybody else facing this issue and why whats is soluction?

  • How much battery back up can I get from A30 as I don't play games

  • I wanna ask A30 users, is the GPS the biggest issue with the A30? Or are there others I should be worried about before I buy this phone? Thank you!

  • I got lost many times because of theses 10 sec

  • You are right 👌

  • It works by touching your ear not by proximity. it is one of worst sensors types. It is considered one of this phone drawbacks.

  • Last Week me also purchase Samsung A30 working goods battery time good camera, charging every thing is good but main issue is ear sensor doesnot work properly. if any one have a solution about this problem. kindly share it. Thanks & Regards

  • Go for a30

  • Huawei Y9. Better clarity. Better battery life

  • I bought one 3 week ago good baterie, good camera , sound clear and lourd. Nothing to complain till now

  • what about the network and the batterie after the update how much hours you get screen on in this phone

  • Gps wonder around most of the time Overall best phone for people who don't use Google map and location services.

  • They are the same processor except the 7904 is underclocked one compared to the 7885.

  • It's not the same processor! The A50 has a slightly better Exynos 9610 made on (10nm) 4 cores at 2.3Ghz A73 and 4-core 1.7Ghz A53 vs. A30 Exynos 7904 made on (14nm) 2 cores 1.8Ghz A73 and 6 cores 1.6Ghz A53

  • I installed CPU-Z in my phone it shows Exynos--7885 but it is suppose to be Exynos--7904 anyone else having this problem.

  • How slow is the processor of A30. Isn't it same processor as A50??

  • Well the processor isn't the fastest in his segment,but it is good in everyday use and can pubg on medium,which is good for 230$ phone (64-4gb configuration)

  • yes

  • Can this phone play Asphalt 9?

  • Hello Everyone, The Samsung Galaxy A30 is best phone I am using this phone one week its nice everything is perfect only one thing open setting/phone/gallery slow overall best phone. Advantage 1. Big battery 4000mah 2. Super Amoled Screen 3. Dual Sim Dual Standby 3. Camera is Good 4. Android 9.0 updated. 5. Type C USB + Fast Charging Disadvantage 1. Plastic body 2. Slow Processor 3. Slow unlock face/finger

  • what we choose in this price..?

  • It has proximity sensor check samsung webpage,also gps isn't terrible,It took a few seconds (like 10-15 secs) to get a fix indoors.

  • Yes I have this phone and it can pugb on medium.

  • It runs pubg on hd graphics high frame

  • You probably see this a lot but I gotta ask, can this run PUBG Mobile on medium settings? 🤔

  • Pros: - Very good camera; main and selfie - A wonderful Super amoled screen - small notch - The One UI - the look f the mobile Cons: - no proximity sensor, you should touch the area to close the screen during calls - Slight lag overall in the mobile, and especially when you call someone - GPS and navigation is very very terrible, it takes more than one minute to receive a signal, and sometimes you must restart the phone to work - the finger print sensor is not that very fast - the speaker sound is not high

  • Guys, Can anyone suggests me the pros and cons of this handset, please.
