Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy M30 technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy M30 suits buyers who put a strong display and a large battery first, with the trade-off of 15 W charging that falls below most phones of its time. Its 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display has a 1080 × 2340 resolution and 403 ppi; the screen ranks among the best of phones launched around the same time. Always-On Display is included as well.
The 5,000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time. Fast charging tops out at 15 W, below average for those phones. Overall, its hardware is above average, but its AnTuTu result of 101,651 is below average. The 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage exceed what most phones of its time offer. The camera overall is above average, although its f/1.9 aperture is below average; a 5 MP ultrawide camera is also included.
Storage can be expanded with a card up to 1 TB. The phone has dual Nano-SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack, USB Type-C and Android 8.1. Its 174 g weight is below average in the weight comparison, though that does not make it especially light. Connectivity is above average, and the overall result is better than most phones of its time. NeoScore: 4.8. The Galaxy M30 is a better fit for buyers who value the display and battery capacity more than fast charging or its AnTuTu result.
