Samsung conquered the low-cost smartphone market
If Samsung was confidently butting heads with Apple in the premium smartphone market, then things were not going well in the low-cost segment: Huawei, Xiaomi, Meizu and other Chinese brands lured customers away with lower prices and fancy functionality. And when it seemed that the train had already left, Samsung suddenly released the hit Galaxy A series, where literally every model became popular.
Super AMOLED screen in a $200 smartphone?
The new Galaxy A30 is the youngest model in the lineup, which at just over $200 stands out with a huge 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen with a flagship 85% display-to-body ratio and FullHD+ resolution. The screen turned out to be good even by the standards of more expensive smartphones. Plus, the AMOLED matrix consumes less energy, so with a 4000 mAh battery, the Galaxy A50 works the same day and a half as smartphones with a more capacious battery, but an IPS screen.
Thin bezels
In terms of design, it’s hard to say something, the smartphone looks like most of today’s heroes – a tiny droplet-cutout for the front camera, tiny frames and a glossy plastic glass cover with an iridescent gradient colour. In principle, all smartphones of the A series look the same, and only the oldest one, the A70, has metal in the design of the case.
Only the essentials
Usually, the difference lies in the gland. The younger A30 has the most modest: a new mid-low-cost single-chip Exynos 7904 chip, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage with support for memory cards. By the standards of today, this is enough for the comfortable operation of the system, surfing the net and communicating in social networks, but for demanding toys, the hardware will be rather weak.
Maximum equipment
But the rest of the functions are actually the same as in the older A50 and A70 models: NFC chip, USB-C, modern Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and LTE modules, a separate audio output, a dual camera, a capacious 4000 mAh battery, fast charging and a fingerprint scanner . Unless, the scanner here is the most common, and the camera is more modest than that of older brothers. The overall quality is also on top, the smartphone is well built, looks nice, feels comfortable in the hand and has virtually no weak points. There is a jamb with resetting the camera settings, but it should be fixed in future updates. Therefore, it is not surprising that the A30 has become a hit and is selling like hot cakes. For this money, he actually has no competitors.
