In an attempt to regain its spot among the top budget phone makers, Samsung launched its M-series earlier this year. The standout player in the company’s lineup was the Galaxy M30, which offered an AMOLED display and triple cameras under the Rs 15,000 price tag.
Not a whole lot has changed on the design front with the Galaxy M30s. Samsung is still offering you a polycarbonate back with a dual-color gradient, which looks okayish. A bit tacky, to be honest. There’s also a bigger triple camera bump and a physical fingerprint sensor on the rear.
Powering the smartphone is the new Exynos 9611 chipset, which we first saw on the Galaxy A50s earlier this month. It’s a substantial bump over the Exynos 7904 processor that powered its predecessor. This is coupled with up to 6GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB internal storage, which is expandable up to 512GB via a dedicated microSD card slot. It runs Android 9 Pie-based OneUI out-of-the-box, which is I quite like.
Alongside the Galaxy M30s, Samsung also launched the most affordable phone with an AMOLED display — the Galaxy M10s. The design of the Galaxy M10s is pretty similar to Samsung Galaxy A30, which was launched earlier this year.
The Galaxy M10s features a 6.4-inch HD+ Super AMOLED display (which is pretty similar to Xiaomi’s Mi A3) with an Infinity-V notch design. It has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 1560 x 720 pixels resolution, and 85% screen-to-body ratio.
Samsung’s Galaxy M30s has been priced starting at Rs. 13,999 for the 4GB+64GB base variant but you will have to shell out Rs. 16,999 for the 6GB+128GB variant.
