Samsung launched the Galaxy M series at the beginning of this year to strengthen its position against Chinese competition. The sub-Rs.19000 segment was dominated by multiple models from the likes of mi and , many of which offered better value for money than the devices that  was selling at the time. As a result, the Galaxy M series was launched with a strong focus on the online market.

The  was one of the most high-profile models in this series when it launched at around the Rs 15,000 mark. This smartphone sported an super  display and offered good battery life. Samsung has now launched an updated version of this smartphone dubbed the Galaxy M30. Does it improve on the M30' strengths and fix its weaknesses? 

The Samsung Galaxy M30s sports a triple camera setup at the back which is placed in a rectangular camera module. The fingerprint scanner is also at the back, next to the camera module, and it is easy to reach. Samsung offers the M30s in three color variants: Opal Black, Sapphire Blue, and Pearl White. We had the Sapphire Blue version in for review, which has a gradient finish at the back. This looks a little different, and we like it, though this may not be the case for everyone. You can opt for the more traditional Black or White color options instead.

Samsung has fitted a massive 6,000 mAh battery into the M30 which is bigger than the one its predecessor, the M30 had. This phone is rather bulky but since the back is curved it is manageable in the hand. Samsung ships a 15W charger in the box.

The Samsung Galaxy  sports a 6.4-inch + AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080x2340 pixels. There are two color modes to choose from, and the phone is set to Natural by default. We changed the display mode to Vivid which boosted the contrast and looked more pleasant to our eyes. There is no way to adjust the color temperature of the display but we were happy with the default setting.

Samsung has picked its own 9611 SoC for the Galaxy M30s, this is the same processor the company has used for the recently launched ( as well. This SoC has four performance ARM Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.3GHz and four efficiency Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.7GHz. It also features integrated Mali-G72 graphics. The smartphone is available in two variants: 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, and 4GB of RAM with 256GB of storage, and we had the latter for this review. The base variant of the device is priced at Rs. 13,990 while the higher-end one is priced at Rs. 17000.
