Samsung announced the Galaxy A30 and A10 alongside the A50 in India in February, just days after the flagship Galaxy S10 series was unveiled. The Galaxy A20 surfaced in March. Both the Galaxy A20 and A10 are powered by Exynos 7884 SoC but the A10 comes with 2GB RAM whereas the A20 ships with 3GB RAM. On the other hand, the Galaxy A30 packs an Exynos 7904 SoC under the hood, paired with just 4GB RAM. There is a 3GB RAM variant, though, but that one isn’t available in India, at least not yet.

Samsung announced the Galaxy A30 last month, just days after the flagship Galaxy S10 series was unveiled. The Galaxy A30 was launched alongside the Galaxy A50. The A30 is now available to buy in the US from the popular retailer, Newegg. This is not an official listing as Samsung won’t be launching the models in the US. In fact, the US isn’t one of the target markets for the affordable Galaxy A series. However, Newegg offers buyers a 30-day warranty which means buyers can return the product within that period if they are not satisfied with the smartphone. 

The Samsung Galaxy A30 is unlocked but won’t work on all US mobile operators. Specifically, the phone is compatible with GSM/LTE carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile (including their prepaid brands), but not with CDMA/LTE carriers like Verizon and Sprint. As for the pricing, Newegg offers the A30 for $229.99 which is an attractive price tag for such a device. The device is also available on Amazon but with no warranty. You can also snag the sleek model on eBay for a slightly cheaper price tag.

The Galaxy A30 features an Infinity-U 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. It also features the same 3D Glasstic design as the A50. The Exynos 7904 powers it and you get 3GB or 4GB of RAM paired with 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. A MicroSD card slot will allow you to add extra storage. It has a 16MP f/1.7 primary camera on the back that is paired with a 5MP f/2.2 ultra-wide angle lens. The selfie camera is a 16MP f/2.2 sensor. There is a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner along with support for Face Unlock. The device also crams an impressive 4,000mAh battery with support for fast charging under its hood.

During the last months, Samsung totally renewed its line-up of midrange smartphones. The Korean giant launched the new Galaxy M series that is the natural successor to the J series, as well as a brand new name scheme for the A series. Alongside the Galaxy M10, Samsung Galaxy M20 is the first phone from the M line-up, while the Galaxy A30 is the first device from the A series with a 0 at the end belonging to the new name scheme. These two devices carry very similar price tags and their prices are even similar to the older sibling Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) released in the second half of last year. If you want to know which Samsung mid-ranger you should opt for, go ahead with this specs comparison.

Samsung Galaxy M20 vs Samsung Galaxy A30 vs Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018)

Design

The award for the design and build quality goes to the Samsung Galaxy A30. Its rear side is not made of glass like flagship devices, Samsung called it “3D glasstic” because it is essentially a plastic back that looks like glass, but the device is very solid and it has an aluminum frame. Samsung Galaxy A30 is also one of the few affordable devices with a waterproof body. It has the IP68 certification. The second place goes to the Galaxy A7 2018 with its elegant and minimal glass back. But the bezels around the display are thick, unlike the other two devices which come with a waterdrop notch and very narrow bezels. Samsung Galaxy M20 has a cheap plastic design.

Display

On the display side, Samsung Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A7 2018 are the most convincing ones as they have a Super AMOLED panel with more brilliant colors. I would personally go for the Samsung Galaxy A30 because of its taller 6.4-inch panel and narrower bezels. But if you hate the notch, you may prefer the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018. The Galaxy M20 comes with a lower-end TFT display.

Specs & Software

The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) is equipped with slightly better hardware, at least in its most expensive configuration. It arrives with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage, while Samsung Galaxy A30 and M20 stop at 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) has a slightly different SoC with a higher clock frequency but the same GPU. Note that Samsung Galaxy A30 comes with Android 9 Pie out of the box, while the others are based on Android Oreo.

Camera

The most powerful and interesting camera department is the one on board of the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018. On the rear side, it has a triple camera setup with a 24 MP main sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a depth sensor. And it even has a very nice 24 MP selfie camera. Right after, we got the Samsung Galaxy A30 which still comes with a bright aperture but lacks the ultrawide sensor and it has a selfie camera with a lower 16 MP resolution.

Battery

Finally, a department in which Samsung Galaxy M20 wins: the battery life. With its huge 5000 mAh unit, it can even last three days if you do not stress it too much. However, the Samsung Galaxy A30 remains an amazing battery phone thanks to its efficient components and its 4000 mAh battery. Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 takes the last place, but it is thinner thanks to its smaller battery. Samsung Galaxy M20 and A30 support 15W fast charging.

Price

Samsung Galaxy A30 costs about €220/$250 in the Asian market, Samsung Galaxy M20 carries the same price in the global market and even Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) is available for €220 in the global market thanks to online street prices. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A30 is definitely a better handset thanks to its great display, waterproof certification and well-balanced specifications, but it will cost more in the global market.
