J700Fan, 16 Dec 2023It's been 3 years 8 months since I started using M30s.... moreMe too

    This one didn't really run well, the battery does run great at least 2½ hours on end with light and/or moderate use. It did not run well while gaming, having frequent lag spikes and glitches with textures. Although it could be good for taking notes and planning events with Samsung's apps.

      Huh, 04 Dec 2023Guys just go to xda forums and find a custom rom to flash. ... moreRom name ? and link of xda post?

        It's been 3 years 8 months since I started using M30s. The phone is still very good. The battery lasts two days on light-moderate use and 1.5 days on heavy use; however, sometimes 5-10% battery drain happens at night. It generally runs fine but there is some lag while using the keyboard or the Samsung internet browser if there are several open tabs. It doesn't receive updates anymore but Android 11 is relatively up to date, I haven't seen any app incompatibility problems in Play Store. The camera still takes decent shots during the day but low-light photos are bad. The display has some minor burn-ins but they are only seen on dark gray themes at low brightness with blue light filter turned on and also looks a bit yellowish compared to new phones. The general speed of M30s is comparable to A04s (also A13 and A14). I think, M30s will be a usable phone until 2025. Last week, my phone fell to the floor from almost 2 meters and nothing happened, so M30s is a very durable phone.

            Guys just go to xda forums and find a custom rom to flash. Personally I flashed Android 12L and the phone hasn't ever been this smooth since I've bought it. The performance is great too

                So, even I've been facing this boot loop issue all of a sudden. Took it to service center, they told me it would cost half the amount of the handset itself to fix it. And there would be no warranties for the repaired device.

                I guess in the effort to compete with other brands in terms of budget, Samsung is reducing the quality of their device to fit in that budget for manufacturing. It's business but still that doesn't mean that you will sell untested/bad units to the genuine customers.

                It would be hard to trust Samsung as a good brand again. My old galaxy j7 prime worked flawlessly for years and still working while this m30s is like a trash compared to the old device. What a waste!

                I regret my decision of buying this handset. It would be ok to say that Samsung is now a five star restaurant which is serving dull dishes.

                  I got your concern.
                  My last phone was from samsung and i used it from 2015 to 2020.
                  Current one i bought in year 2020 and have no plan to buy another before 2025.
                  Even after 2025, if current phone works well then i will not consider buying new phone.

                    Anonymous, 09 Oct 2023I see many people are facing restating issue/ boot loop at ... moreMay be.
                    Like you i noticed such issues on youtube video and in gsmarena comments.

                    Some time i fear about those issues like it might happen with my phone.
                    I saw during software upgrade, after software update the bootloader stucks for much long time and that is the cause of my fear for my phone.
                    During that full update process i don't touch my phone and press buttons.
                    So, that i don't interfare with that process and cause any harm.

                    Till now my phone is ok except the battery, which probably lost around 5 percent charging capacity.

                      I see many people are facing restating issue/ boot loop at the same time few no. of people never even heard of such issue with their phones, I guess that this issue is present in few batches of this handset manufacturing/assembling.

                        Even I don't change phones that often, not because I can't but coz it's too much trouble transferring data from old to new, I know we can just depend on backups now a days but somethings just can't be backed up.
                        I would rather just use my current phone as long as I don't actually feel the need to upgrade.

                          Shahrukh, 05 Oct 2023very nice phone using since nov 2019 well done samsungNice and congrats as you are using phones for long years cause some people changes phone like changing clothes.
                          If i am not bothering you, then can you kindly share how is the battery back up after so many years of usage?
                          Mine lost around 5 percent capacity like charges till 95 percent normally but then indicator blips as fully charged.
                          So, i think 5 percent battery capacity is lost on my phone.

                              If yes can you kindly share details like the new battery cost and if new battery is giving decent back up or not when the phone was new.
                              Thank you.
