Samsung Galaxy M30s, Galaxy M10s Launched in India; Priced Starting at Rs 8,999
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.
Well, it seems like Samsung aims to be on its toes and provide the latest and greatest to its users with the refreshed Galaxy M30s. It brings minor upgrades over the original M30, including a more powerful chipset, a higher-megapixel camera, and a massive battery.
Galaxy M30s: Specs and Features
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.
On the front,Galaxy M30s sports a 6.4-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED displaywith the Infinity-U notch design. It has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 2340 x 1080p resolution, and a 91% screen-to-body ratio. You would find a16MP selfie camerahoused in the notch at the top.
Powering the smartphone is the newExynos 9611 chipset, which we first saw on theGalaxy A50searlier 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.
In the camera department, the Galaxy M30s still continues to tout a triple rear-camera setup as its predecessor but with an upgrade that’s in line with the current trend. Yeah, Galaxy M30s includes a 48MP primary sensor, along with an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP depth sensor. Samsung is offering you a number of new camera features including Night Mode, Super Steady mode for videos, Intelligent Flaw Detection, and more.
One of the major highlights of the Galaxy M30s, which has been heavily advertised, will have to be themassive 6,000mAh battery. You will also get a 15W USB Type-C fast-charger in the box, which is great. But, what’s even better is that the Galaxy M30s isn’t bulky and weighs just 188 grams.
Galaxy M10s: Specs and Features
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 SamsungGalaxy A30, which was launched earlier this year.
The Galaxy M10sfeatures 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.
Galaxy M10s ispowered by the Exynos 7884B chipset, coupled with up to 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage (expandable up to 512GB via a dedicated microSD card slot). This is a worthy upgrade over the Exynos 7870 in its predecessor. This smartphone runs Android 9 Pie-based OneUI out-of-the-box.
This smartphone also packs a dual rear-camera setup, with a 13MP primary sensor and 5MP ultra-wide-angle lens. You will also find an 8MP selfie camera housed in the notch. Samsung M10scomes equipped with a 4000mAh batteryand USB Type-C port for charging, which is great for a sub-Rs 10,000 smartphone. Take note, Vivo and Oppo!
