- Verdict
Truth be told, the Samsung Galaxy A30 delivers quite a lot at an affordable price of Rs 16,999. The handset`s display is its strongest point and the inclusion of One UI makes the deal even better. The only qualm I have with the phone concerns the performance department and if that was not the case, I would not think twice before recommending it to anyone. However, in the current scenario, the phone will have to take on the likes of the Redmi Note 7 Pro, ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 (review), and Samsung`s very own Galaxy M30.

Truth be told, the Samsung Galaxy A30 delivers quite a lot at an affordable price of Rs 16,999. The handset`s display is its strongest point and the inclusion of One UI makes the deal even better. The only qualm I have with the phone concerns the performance department and if that was not the case, I would not think twice before recommending it to anyone. However, in the current scenario, the phone will have to take on the likes of the Redmi Note 7 Pro, ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 (review), and Samsung`s very own Galaxy M30. Since the Galaxy M30 comes with a triple-camera setup and a bigger battery (5,000mAh vs 4,000mAh) while being cheaper by Rs 2,000, it will eventually boil down to the choice of platforms between Experience UI and One UI that will sway the decision to one side. However, bear in mind that the Galaxy M30 (first impressions) will be receiving One UI later this year with an OTA update. When it comes to Redmi Note 7 Pro, you get a much better processor in comparison to the Galaxy A30, a 48MP rear camera and a debatably better design. Not to mention that Xiaomi has priced the handset atttractively at Rs 13,999 — a good Rs 3k lesser than the A30. In a nutshell, Samsung`s Galaxy A30 is a complete package in the mid-range, but you`d need to weigh your options carefully before zeroing in on it.
