Samsung is a well-known manufacturer of electronic equipment. It has been on the market for a long time and has managed to earn a reputation as a responsible manufacturer. A special peak of popularity fell on the phones of the Galaxy C, J and On models. The company decided to abandon them and stop their production. They were replaced by the Samsung Galaxy M30 smartphone - advantages and disadvantages, which could be transferred from its predecessors.

Samsung's announcements were impressive. Everyone was in anticipation of the release of a new series of smart devices. As planned by the developers, this should be a budget device with an average price of $300. Knowing the company's standards, no one expected that it would be a simple phone with a standard set of features and cheap stuff. To what extent expectations correspond to reality, we will try to figure it out in the framework of this article.

Long summary description Samsung Galaxy M30

Samsung has found particular success with the release of very branded models of smartphones in the Galaxy line.After some time, various modifications of this series began to appear on the market. With each new release, the confusion only intensified. At the end of the year, it became known about the appearance of another novelty of the M series, which greatly intrigued users. The average price of such a phone is $300, which is an order of magnitude lower than the flagship predecessors. The devices clearly belong to the budget category, but how much they are inferior or superior in performance to previous versions of similar gadgets.

The company announced its decision to abandon the C, J and On models of the Galaxy line and put the M10, M20 and M30 on sale. Samsung wants to continue to develop devices with the letter M for people with average incomes. In catalogs, they are indexed SM-M105F, SM-M205F and SM-M305F. Information about them is already on the network and published on the website of the manufacturer.

All models support dual SIM. One is nano, the other is standard. The USB connector is standard type C, and all three also have the ability to connect headphones using a 3.5 mm plug. The M30 has the largest amount of RAM, which reaches 4 GB, permanent and removable 32 GB and 512 GB, respectively. The display is made of an active matrix on biological light-emitting diodes. The M10 and M20 are equipped with thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays. All of them are frameless with a small cutout at the top for the camera and speaker.

The average price for such phones is 19,000 rubles. They work under the Android operating system. M10 and M20 have 8.1 with Oreo firmware, M30 has 9.0 Pai build. Even the modern flagships of other well-known brands do not have such an OS. They have already been adapted to work in our country.

Comparison table of characteristics

Design and dimensions

As can be seen from the table, the Samsung Galaxy M30 gained in height and weight, but decreased in thickness and width. And this trend of change is visible throughout the line. However, the location of buttons and sensors remains the same for all versions of phones. There is an opinion that the changes are made by the company consciously, so that there is a visual difference between the devices of different series. Their characteristics undoubtedly change, but in order for customers to be able to recognize this or that device immediately upon purchase. The color of the case is all black, but on the manufacturer's website there are options with different colors. Perhaps these are modifications for the future. Ergonomics of the device is excellent, it lies perfectly in the hand, fits in a trouser or bag pocket.

Screen

The display size is 6.38 inches, which is larger than previous versions of the product. In fact, it is clear that the M30 is an improved model of its predecessors.The fundamental difference is the use of the new Super AMOLED technology, which involves the use of new matrices with biological LEDs. Such screens are not even on all the new flagships of other brands.

In terms of dot density, it is inferior to M20, but its ratio has increased, which indicates a decrease in frames. However, it is difficult to see fundamental differences in the quality of images and videos. Only their sizes have changed. Such changes will please fans of active games for whom improved performance is important.

cameras

There are no differences in the parameters of the rear cameras in this series yet, but the front ones have them. Its resolution has been increased to 16 megapixels. Selfies are clearer, improved image sharpness, detail and light sensitivity. It is not clear why the developers decided to use two modules with such a resolution of the rear matrices. There is no need to talk about optical zoom and wide-angle shooting in this case. Many experts believe that the company decided to perform a cunning marketing ploy. Many do not go into the details of the quality of photography. They care about the number of cameras. This allows you to play with the pricing policy. At the same time, the product does not receive any advantages over other devices.

Performance

The developers used an eight-core Exynos 7885 processor, adding just one gigabyte of RAM. Again, a dubious move, since such a change does not greatly increase its performance. 14 nanometer technologies are applied. However, pleases the increase in the volume of the hard drive. From 32 GB it has increased to 64 GB. This will allow you to store more files, install more programs.

In general, the phone turned out to be smart.Handles heavy games that use complex textures well. The clock frequency of the processor allows sufficient processing of a large amount of information. It also behaves well when surfing the Internet. Pages do not freeze, it takes relatively little time to open them. Of course, the main role here is also played by the connection, which is worthy for fourth-generation networks.

Battery

The battery capacity has been increased to 5000 mAh. Such progress will appeal to people for whom the phone is part of life or business. Its charge is enough for 14 hours of active conversations, 6 hours of music playback and 5 hours of watching movies. There is a fast charging option, which adds another point to its merits.
