Samsung Galaxy M30 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Nitansh Rastogi]()
Verdict
To say that Samsung has made a solid comeback in the race would be underplaying the South Korean titan`s efforts. Within less than three months into 2019, the company has turned the Indian smartphone market on its head. It`s clear that the brand won`t let go of the numero uno position out of its sights, and that Chinese brands will have to work harder to grab its market share. The Galaxy M30 continues that stance by bringing never-seen-before features in the sub-Rs 15k segment. With an asking price of Rs 14,999 for its base model, it`s a solid all-round offering.Having said that, the price tag...

Considering that the Samsung Galaxy M30 is currently the most affordable smartphone with triple rear cameras, let's start the review by taking a look at the handset's imaging prowess. But before that, here's a look at what the setup includes - a 13-megapixel shooter, an 8MP wide-angle lens and a 5MP sensor for depth-sensing purposes. Of course, you also get an LED flash for shooting in dim settings. At the front, the device ships with a 16-megapixel snapper.

In terms of the build quality and looks, the Samsung Galaxy M30 isn't much different from its siblings. You get the same, high screen-to-body ratio, thanks to an Infinity-V display panel and plasticky finish on the rear. That said, there are some subtle differences that make the M30 more attractive.

This is yet another area where the M30 doesn't differ much from the M20. The phone draws power from the Exynos 7904 chipset, which works in tandem with 4GB / 6GB of RAM. Like I said in my review of the M20, the octa-core processor is more than capable of handling day-to-day tasks and multitasking is good too on the 4GB RAM model I reviewed. And while games like PUBG run fine, the handset does run into frame drops every now and then, and that too with medium graphics settings. Thankfully, thermals are kept in check and the phone only feels slightly warm after gaming for 30 to 40 minutes.
