The Galaxy M30 is getting a refresh seven months after it was announced. The new phone will be called the Galaxy M30s and it will pack an even bigger battery than the M30. It has now been revealed that the M30s will be launching on September 18 in India.
A microsite is now live in addition to a teaser page on Amazon India and they both confirm some features of the phone while teasing others.
First, the phone will be exclusive to Amazon India and will be announced on September 18 at 12 noon. The page confirms the phone has an Infinity-U Super AMOLED display, triple rear cameras, and a massive 6000mAh battery.
The Galaxy M30s sports an unusual rear camera design. The cameras share a large rectangular housing that can actually fit five sensors and the LED flash but only houses three sensors. There is also a fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone.
Samsung teases that the phone has a “_8 MP triple camera”. It is a no brainer that the missing figure is a 4 which means the Galaxy M30s has a 48MP primary sensor. This is an upgrade over the Galaxy M30 which has a 13MP primary rear camera.
The product page says the phone will also have a new powerful processor. A benchmark result of the device revealed the phone is powered by an Exynos 9610 processor but there are reports it is a new processor called the Exynos 9611 which Geekbench incorrectly identifies as the Exynos 9610. Plus the Exynos 9610 is not a new processor, so it isn’t the one powering the Galaxy M30s.
