Samsung Galaxy A30s - User Reviews

  • What is the screen protector of samsung A 30s

  • hd screen resolution, slow processor....

  • Does A30s has no NFC or gyro sensor for model in EU?

  • What's the sar value of A30s mobile phone i EU models. How can I find the info?

  • Samsung has done a good job with their budget flagships, way to go!!!!!!

  • Yes, overall it's a great phone. The only downgrade is the 720p display. Apart from that you get the whole A50 specs.

  • I don't see any difference

  • Downgrade from FullHD display to HD display! Bad😕

  • How ? I haven't found on screen fingerprint support in any of the AOD apps. Would you suggest one ?

  • Add the dame f print 3 times and it will improve a lot

  • Does this device comes with built in screen protector?

  • Ummm... Huawei P30 lite is better

  • Buy a30 instead

  • It's quite noticeable if you stare at the screen for long periods (eg if you read a lot on your phone). A friend recently bought one of these and I realized I could see the pixels on the screen, making text edges look a bit fuzzy, but my A30 is fine.

  • Galaxy a30s ir A7 2018?

  • Can't agree more! Higher resolutions on phone screens sounds nice on paper but isn't really worth it since it's not noticeable and it lowers the devices performance, especially in games!

  • It has NFC and Google Pay, but I cannot use it for Pubic Transport payment in Singapore, MRT and Buses. The reason Samsung given was that I need to use Samsung Pay, but "Samsung Pay for Simply Go is currently not available in your device". I am so disappointed that Samsung Phone does not have Samsung Pay, and its NFC feature cannot be used for Bus Payment. Simple need cannot be met. Samsung Phone without Samsung Pay. I cannot believe it.

  • I bought the phone last month. In insights: pros: -Decent battery -Large screen -Efficient RAM and cache -Fast charging -Decent camera though not intuitive cons: -Slow response at times, kind of "bricky" feel (Can keep many things in background but can get sludgy) -Lousy fingerprint sensor I can't stress this enough, basically it fails 2-3 attempts all the time even if I tried to add different fingers and this has been the biggest issue for me

  • im currently using a5 2017, is this phone worth the upgrade? or should i search another phone? btw nfc is a must for me

  • Why do you even need larger than 720p? could you notice the difference?

  • A50

  • 720p display is not woryh buying in 2019.

  • A30s is good performance

  • Comparing Samsung A50 vs Samsung A30s vs Redmi MI A3 which is best.

  • No it doesn't. Download Always On Display from Play Sore.

  • No it doesn't have Always On Display. It seems like Always On Display is only for High End and Upper Mid Range I guess. But there are some Always On Display App in Google Play Store like this for example:

  • does this phone has always on display?

  • go for the a30s i work with devices i know

  • Definitely a70 is by far better than a30s. a30s is just a version of a30 with a better camera.

  • Hi Guys Please advice I need to buy Samsung phone Deciding which one should I buy Samsung A30s Or Samsung A70 Please advice to make easy decision Thanks

  • Unfortunately it is because of low screen resolution. The display is vivid but pixels are visible in smaller font text

  • This big fella 6.4

  • Because M serie is only available in India, unfortunately.

  • A30s has NFC and better camera but the res is only 720p (whereas A30 has 1080p). As for me I bought A30s because it has NFC

  • Only a little bit better coz 720p is still a low Res

  • A30

  • Thanks for the advise, my phone res is better now.

  • In my region, Xiaomi is not available. Therefore, I need a Samsung.

  • go to display settings and change the display mode to vivid

  • lower resulution

  • Galaxy A30s just come in Bulgaria. Look nice.

  • Respected fellows, Why it's display is not too good.i am noticing that the color saturation is not good.did you guys notice or not?.samsung called it is a super AMOLED.but when i purchased the phone and saw display color saturation quality.it looks like as we saw colors in cheep phones those have FT panel.

  • m30s is only at India

  • a30s ya m30s better how

  • Wonder why would one buy this over priced phone when samsung is selling M30s, with better specification and more cheaper price

  • Which is better for every day use and which has a better camera? A40 or a30s?

  • buy xiaomi

  • has face unlock?

  • In english please

  • Which is better? A30 or A30s? Which Camera is better? Which is a better overall smartphone?

  • With aida64 7885 detected not 7904

  • So far so good. working well. Nice phone with good features.

  • 3rd class display. Camera is not good

  • Samsung Galaxy A30s good

  • Afaik in my country, samsung also give local warranty, not international.

  • Pls how good is d camera,not about d mp alone,d A30 own with 16 is poor in quality...

  • Please how good is d camera,cos I'm not satisfied with d A30 camera....16mp camera is worst compare to other brand

  • What the heck 300euro ? BIG NO

  • No

  • Is not waterproof don't try it. Bro

  • I wish to buy A30S . The guys operating Samsung outlet in F .11 say that no international guarantee can be given for the phone . Only the one which is applicable within Pakistan . Hope there is no catch in that . Could anybody please clarify this ? Thanks

  • Is the A30s waterproof? I can't find any review that says anything about this in the A30s please help me

  • Can any one confirm if A30s has gorilla glass or not? Because its predecessor was equipped with gorilla glass .

  • Yes A30s has no Always On Display while A30 has

  • All New A series with SamPay are without MST. It's only NFC based & a lot of people don't know this. Even the A80 which cost $$$ is without MST. I had bought A70 just for SamPay & found out the hard way when I couldn't use it because the credit card machine din't have NFC Cheapest option with MST would be older models, A8 2018, A8+ A5 2017 etc, but these models are discontinued mostly, so S9 would be the cheapest option with MST as it's still available in some regions, otherwise S10e Samsung is known for secretly removing features. For e.g, no mention of any glass protection in A30s & I think AOD is also missing, also removing scroll screenshot & haptic feedback.

  • Can anyone confirm if Samsung removed AOD from A30s? I saw a video that there is no AOD in settings search.

  • Does it have an grllila glass protection or not can any one tell me

  • 240 euros in Asia for 4/64 GB version

  • Downgrade version of last A30. the screen only 720p. Oh come on samsung. It has to be upgrade

  • it has nfc in Indonesia

  • It has largest number of service centre in India

  • A30s comes with Samsung Pay without MST

  • Why is A30s more expensive than M30s although its configuration is not equal to each other?

  • Doesn't A30s have gyro sensor? I just visited samsung's web and it clearly says a30s has gyro

  • 300euro??? are you sure?

  • According to Samsung India Website, A30s has NFC

  • Waiting for the review...

  • M serie phones are better and cheaper than the A serie phones because they are sold only in India to compete with the chinese phones there. Samsung makes money by selling the A serie in other countries.

  • The A50 has 3 main advantages over A30s hence why its more expensive. 1) Screen Resolution A50 (1080 x 2340) Full HD+ vs A30s (720 x 1560) HD+ 2) Chipset A50 Exynos 9610 (10nm) vs A30s Exynos 7904 (14nm) 3) Ram & Storage A50 comes in (4GB+64GB) lowest & (6GB+128GB) highest vs A30s (3GB+32GB) lowest & (4GB+128GB) highest 4) Minor Advantages (Camera) Main Camera A50 (25Mp w 26mm Wide lens) vs A30s (25Mp) Front Camera A50 (25Mp w 25mm Wide lens) vs A30s (16Mp)

  • there is no difference between A30S & A50 but A50 price is too high, I am unable to understand this, can anyone please explain?

  • I don't know what is Samsung trying to prove. The A30s has almost similar specs albeit a weaker CPU/GPU but costs more than the M30s which is more powerful and even has a 1080p display.

  • No, only A50s have NFC

  • Who says to you? You'll get snapdragon 675 processor and IPS display in 2020. A30s and 50s are the best one👍

  • is there nfc?

  • Chinese phones, xiaomi, oppo, huawei....are good quality,but I still believe that hardware samsung phones are still better than than hardware of chinese phones, I myself have xiaomi , it is a good mobile.

  • I really like Samsung phones but for 280 euros you get the Oppo A9 2020, which is better in every aspects.

  • Not with this phone... resolutiondrop-cough...

  • Does it come with Samsung Pay with MST? What is the cheapest option for SPay with MST?

  • Not just SAMSUNG only, oppo and vivo also give the same display resolution for their 2019/2020 midrange phones.

  • Incredible Samsung is doing great work Can't believe things have changed

  • In India, A30s has NFC

  • A30s display was bigger than Mi A3 Mi A3 can take 48mp shots 32mp selfies Night Mode and 4K Recording

  • According to Samsung India Website, It has gyro sensor which can play 360 videos

  • Absolutely. Samsung and apeple Play pride brand games.

  • I agree with you ,Samsung and other smartphone makers should make phones like the size of Se and A40. And unfortunately A40 distribution is not universal. If there is A30 no A40.

  • I read lot of negative reviews on the A series regarding heat and battery draining issues, probably hence this new model with the stripped down specs...

  • No dude... Samsung only use electronic gyro...so if you gyro player on PUBG mobile don't buy it....buy mi a3

  • Xiaomi mi a3 way more better....more powerful,more feature and durability

  • Again a 720 P display in 2020 . Why samsung is doing downgrades in features from predecessors??

  • why not samsung build again phones with under 150mm tall more & more like S10E with 142.2mm

  • Its mi a3 vs galaxy a30s almost same specs and display

  • How much would it range from?

  • Would have been the best budget phone, but screen 720p for 6.4 inches...big mistake.

  • Samsung make good phones but the phones are little slow in buget and mid range

  • Samsung for me is the best phone of world. A30s is lovely samsung samsung Samsung forever

  • Its better than a30

  • positive comment at all. well said

  • A30s has gyro sensor

  • No gyro sensor😡

  • That upgrade basically turns A30 into A50, except for the worse screen...They should have killed the A30 and lower the price of A50 ....

  • This is just A20.

  • 720p . Very disappointed

  • I'll buy it just for its camera

  • Biggggggggggg

  • The A Series is for those who don't want something expensive, but still kinda as a flagship. It's midrange. My A5 (2016) is good for all I want to do.

  • It is for developing countries,if you hate the A series just get the s or note series

  • no its both a doengrade and an upgrade just like the mi a3

  • Samsung A series is totally nonsense... No one buy it plz

  • a30s is a a30 but camera 25m

  • does not have a gyroscope in Samsung a30s???

  • For me I will buy it than other people comment like do not buy it at least I have a phone than nothing but I want budget phone

  • Thats a downgrade ........

  • Is Shit That Samsung Doesn't Put Higher Spec On A30s Instead Of A40s ( M30 Chinese Versions ) 24 Megapixel Camera On A30s 12 Megapixel Camera On A40s WTF Samsung

  • The A30 was with a FHD screen and the A30s with an HD screen ??!

  • So it seems like the camera is better, but screen has a much lower resolution. Interesting.

  • Why Samsung Display size not less than 6 inch.

  • im predicting this will have phenominal battery life

  • It will not be snapdragon and it will not have triple camera this version is exynos only, its just gonna be slightly better that's all, the one that will be better is the A50s but mostly the upcoming A70s that am very sure of.

  • Another 6.4 inch phablet sized hd+ phone with in display fingerprint

  • If it will not have these things, NO BUY!!!

  • Hope it will have triple camera, the same screen as the A30's, Snapdragon and the same battery as the A30.
