        I bought A30 2 months ago. Was happy until i went on holiday and required Google Maps. What a nightmare. If i'm not riding in the bush i am 300km away from where i actually am. Very dissapointing. If you rely on Google Maps to navigate you then don't buy this phone

          Interesting. I do have to agree with Gsmarena here, it feels too similar to other phones, though I'd have to argue that Samsung isn't the only company guilty of this. Still, I think I'd rather see Samsung actually start testing the crazy features that they said they would on this series.

                  "None of the latest A phones comes with ingress protection, but they are not losing any slots or jacks, so it's a silver lining of a sorts."

                  A60 doesn't have a headphone jack, A80 doesn't have a headphone or micro SD slot... What are talking about?

                    in my country A30 is cheaper then A40. A30 is a good all arounder. most people should be pleased, since they just use social media and youtube.

                      What an utterly depressing and pointless phone. There is absolutely nothing, NOTHING, to elevate this over the other crowded mid-rangers cluttering up the market.
                      Samsung should have made a proper successor for the A3 2017 compact but that would have been far too sensible and profitable.

A smartphone with worse camera never excites people. Before Huawei P20 Pro who purchase Huawei phones randomly ? Do you know why Huawei And Huawei P20 Pro phone became popular ? Because of Huawei P20 Pro camera quality..

                              'The ultra-wide-angle camera relies on a 5MP sensor with fixed focus. There is no distortion correction available, so buildings are expected.'

                              Ah, buildings can appear on every photo? :)

                              Being serious, phone seems to be an ultimate crap. Crappy loudspeaker, crappy sound through earpieces, crappy SoC, crappy cameras, always laggy One UI. Just screen, nothing else.

                                  Gsmarena should stop reviewing a phone which has a camera sensor smaller than 1/2”...Gsmarena you know that camera performance specially lowlight performance will be worse...then why you waste your time to review a phone which has a small camera sensor than 1/2 inches ?

                                    "Galaxy A series, and it contains the rather obvious answer - glass and plastic. Indeed, the Galaxy A30, just like the A40 and the A50, has a body made of those two materials."
                                    No it's made of plastic

                                      9 of 9
