Phone is cheap, has Amoled display, Awesome Selfie Camera, Dolby Atmos, Gorilla Glass, 64 GB with expandable memory, One UI, fast processor, 4,000 battery. I recommend it. - Anna Marfa
Samsung better with screen and Sony better with sound. Each brand have their own specialty. But I think it's a good choice to have a phone with 4gb ram and at least 4000mah battery capacity for daily use. - Izwan Ibrahim
I'm using an A30 and surprisingly the selfie cam does a better job capturing photos at night than the main camera. - conyo985
The fingerprint scanner is too slow compared to cheaper oppo and realme devices. - Shadi Abdelhadi
This is my phone for about a year and it's golden minus the fact that it's only one speaker. Really could have used 2. - Josh Bekker
Just bought it and all i can say is for users who care less about gaming and performance, this phone is perfect and worth its price especially the display and cameras. - LinoBlanco
What's the difference between Samsung A30 and A50?
On like A30, the Galaxy A50 has super features like triple cameras and an in-display fingerprint sensor. Then, the A50 has an in-display fingerprint sensor, which is lacking in A30.
Verdict
The Samsung A30 is worth its price for anyone who desires a memorable experience with their mobile device. The upgrade of A20, which led to the launching of A30 into the mobility market is a successful one.
