**Samsung Galaxy M30 Review**
The Samsung Galaxy M30 is a mid-range device that packs a punch with its impressive features and performance. As I've used this phone for almost a month now, I have to say it's been an enjoyable experience. One of the first things I noticed was the auto brightness sensor, or lack thereof. The device doesn't have a dedicated auto brightness sensor, but instead relies on the front-facing camera to adjust the screen brightness.
While this isn't a major issue for most users, I did notice that the battery consumption increased due to the camera's involvement in adjusting the brightness. In my top four apps, which were consuming the most battery power, the auto brightness feature was often at or near the bottom of the list. However, with the device's massive 6,000 milliamp hour battery capacity, this wasn't a major concern for me.
Another aspect that caught my attention was the screen protection. The Samsung Galaxy M30 has a six-point four-inch screen, but it doesn't come with any pre-applied screen guard. I noticed that after using the device for about a week, there were scratches on the screen, and I suspect this is due to the lack of protection. While not a major issue, I do recommend applying a screen guard to protect the device from scratches.
The fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy M30 works fine, but it's not as fast as some other devices on the market. However, I did find that once I got used to it, I was able to unlock my phone without any issues. Another feature that I found a bit unusual is the presence of "unnecessary" ads and notifications from third-party apps. The device comes with pre-installed software that displays ads and prompts users to download additional apps.
To remove these ads and notifications, one must navigate through the settings menu while setting up the phone. I was surprised to see that Samsung's Galaxy app was displaying unnecessary notifications and prompts during the setup process. While this may not be a major issue for everyone, it's worth noting that some users have expressed frustration with similar software features from other brands.
In terms of updates, I've noticed that Samsung has been slow to release updates for their devices. After unboxing the Galaxy M30 almost a month ago, I received two updates during that time. However, one of these updates caused issues with the camera, and I'm still waiting for the latest security update.
**Overall Performance**
The Samsung Galaxy M30 is a solid mid-range device that offers good performance and battery life. While it may not be the best option for heavy gamers due to its thermal throttling issues, it's an excellent choice for those who don't need extreme gaming capabilities. The device comes with a 6,000 milliamp hour battery, which should last most users for several days.
If you're considering purchasing the Galaxy M30, I would recommend weighing your options and comparing it to other devices in its class. While it may not offer the same performance as some other brands' flagship devices, it's an excellent choice for those who want a well-rounded smartphone without breaking the bank.
**Comparison to Other Devices**
One thing that I did notice while reviewing the Galaxy M30 was that it shares some similarities with Xiaomi devices. Specifically, both Samsung and Xiaomi use similar software features, such as unnecessary ads and notifications from third-party apps. However, I would recommend opting for a device like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, which offers similar performance at a lower price point.
Additionally, while the Galaxy M30's performance is good, it may not be on par with some other devices in its class that offer more advanced features and faster processors. For those who want the best gaming experience possible, I would recommend considering options like the Realme 5 Pro or the Asus Zenfone 6. However, for most users, the Galaxy M30 is an excellent choice.
**Conclusion**
In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy M30 is a solid mid-range device that offers good performance and battery life. While it may not be perfect, with some minor flaws and quirks, it's an excellent choice for those who want a well-rounded smartphone without breaking the bank.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranji that in this video let's do the review of the Samsung Galaxy M 30s and I know quite a few of you been asking about this one and now I've used this for almost about 10 days so I'll divide this review between pros and cons what do I like about it and what other things do I do not like and there's a huge list guys here are the pros and a big list of cons so let's go over them but before we proceed here are the specs for the galaxy m31 see it does having a 6 point 4 inch full HD AMOLED screen its part with the new xc90 611 octa-core processor that's based on 10 nanometer process it has that mass of six thousand milliamp hour battery also triple camera setup with the 48 megapixel main camera 8 megapixel ultra wide and a 5 megapixel depth front-facing is a 16 megapixel and other specs are on the screen for your reference so let's quickly break it down between the pros and cons and first let's talk about the screen because it's an AMOLED screen and that's the main thing that you see and again as it's a Samsung screen as you can see the quality is really good it's a six point four inch if AMOLED screen but the good thing is that it's a proper full HD Plus being yes you have that knotch part again if you notice the screen quality is really good on this one I don't have any problems with this one so they didn't compromise on the screen and again you also have the auto brightness and all these things I'll talk about it later guys and I mean it's the one UI that you are getting on this and even we have Dolby Atmos on this one and again in general day-to-day operations I did not notice any major lag on this phone guys as you can see it's running on the new one UI and still it's running on android 9 so yes it's supposed to get Android 10 but I don't know when in that department I would say Samsung is a little bit slow so you have to be aware of that so but typical one you either you are getting on this one as you can see and also you get that digital well being and all that stuff and now going to the processor some of you who are asking this one has a new Exynos processor this is the new XE knows in 96 Levin and this is also an octa-core processor we have to intend an ohmmeter process and I was saying general operations I did not notice much lag with this for yes I would saying notice a minor that about 5% of the time but guys I was spoiled before coming to this device I was using the ROG phone to had even the one plus seven people so I did notice minor lacs at times I would say very minor most of you won't notice but after using this phone for two-three days continuously then I'm not noticing a lack so again in terms of performance this processor is actually much improved than earlier mid-range Exynos processors that we have so have no issues with that now moving to another thing is that I really like the fact that Samsung is allowing as this always-on screen as you can see as it's an AMOLED screen I appreciate and I did all my testing while keeping it on this always on display guys so you have that and I think so you have to use it because it does not have any physical LED notification light on the side device now moving to another thing is that guys I will be very fair I testing this er device with just a little because my other sim is in the iPhone 11 that's my geocell and I travel during this time to Delhi and I have to say in terms of cellular call quality it was actually good even in this room I could take some calls I would say it was not getting disconnected so the cellular connectivity is actually fine on this one and also going to the here piece I like the fact that the earpiece is actually really good it's crystal clear on this one and during my almost 10 days of usage and none of the parties complained me about the call quality so that's actually nice but now when you talk about the speaker you just have a single speaker over here and I would say it's adequately loud but I wished it was slightly louder don't get me wrong it's not bad but at times I felt fine I was watching some of the YouTube videos which don't optimize the volume even at max I felt that the volume was a little bit low but in terms of ringtone and stuff it was fine I wished it was slightly louder but again I am Telling that because I compared a lot of phones for most of people it's average speaker quality that you're getting and now if we talk about the 3.5 mm headphone jack it also has a 3.5 mm headphone jack and I did let's do a lot of music on this one and I would say the audio output that you get is good on the one yes you can tweak the sound a little bit I would equalizer if you have if you are you listening to mp3 songs and stuff but general output was actually good I don't have I won't complain considering the price point of this device now if we talk about another big thing about this device is that this is the only mid-range phone as of now in the need market that comes with the massive six thousand milliamp hour battery and I was also very very scared when I got this phone how would be the weight balance of this device because it's having that mass of six thousand milliamp hour battery and I would say in this department Samsung did a great job it simply does not feel that it has a six thousand milliamp power battery because the weight balance is done very well and in fact it does not read that much it weighs just 188 or 189 cramps and this is a lot less than many of the phones that come with a five thousand milliamp power battery and I think so they're able to achieve this because ant are back as you can see the body of this phone is made of this polycarbonate so that's the reason it does not feel that heavy so again if you worried about the weight it feels like many of the phones that come with the five thousand milliamp power battery now as we are talking about the battery as you expected the battery life is actually really good on this phone because it for I would say for normal users you can easily get about two days worth of battery life and if you even know sort of a very heavy user you can get about one and a half days worth of battery life for example as I've told you I was traveling I traveled one day to Delhi and I had to leave the house or two early flight 6:30 in the morning and I came back the same day from Delhi and then came back at about eleven o'clock or something and from morning till evening I was using just this phone in Delhi using GPS everything always on mobile data and stuff even at 11:30 at night as you can see it had 57 by a person battery life left so again the battery life is the tramcar of this form if you're looking for a mid-range smartphone with the highest criteria is battery life then you can easily go with this one even for normal users about two days of battery life and for casual users I would say almost three days it can give I was posting my battery starts on Twitter and many of you who are actually using this for shade some what you say screen shop getting about 8 oz 9 oz I saw even tell us vs. SOT on this one with over at be of usage so battery life is the tramcar of this device now let's also talk about gaming I did gaming in fact I already posted a video about it with Bob G and I could play pub G as I've told you and I also tried it with Call of Duty and it could play Call of Duty also fine but with Call of Duty the graphics were set at medium graphics and I couldn't go to the higher graphic option but at medium it played it very smoothly yes it can do gaming as you see what this pub she could play one of the highest setting but I would say if you're sort of a hardcore gamer then I would not recommend you this phone the reason is that with pub G after about 15 minutes of gaming the handset tend to get actually pretty hot that was not the case with Call of Duty but for some reason the pub G it was getting pretty hot so I would say if you are a hardcore gamer and your primary reason for getting this phone is for gaming then I would say go with Snapdragon counterparts like the some of the phones from Xiaomi or real me those will be better for gaming but apart from that yes if you are sort of casual user this plays play game from here on there yes it can definitely do gaming now let's also talk about the camera on this one because it has the triple camera setup and now Samsung is putting that 48 megapixel camera on this one we also have a ultra wide and then we have the 5 megapixel for depth and the front-facing is a 16 megapixel and I would say as you can see with the sample charge the 48 pin the pixel camera actually does a pretty good job in outdoor conditions yes it tries to also change the color a little bit but overall I would say as you can see with these sample shots the picture quality is really good now even moving to indoor lighting I expected that it wouldn't do that good but as you can see with the sample shot ended decently but again if the lighting goes really low you got to be careful with this one otherwise and the pictures will come out a little bit soft and also this simply does not have any sort of stabilization when you are taking static pictures so you have to be careful because as you can see I took these two picture and while you are taking the pictures and artificial lighting I shake the camera everybod so you can get that shake so you've got to be clear full with that one and even an artificial lighting I would say it does a decent job but again you got to be again careful with human subjects as you can see some of the shots as you can see here came out good but some of them were a little bit softer and blurry so again it's sort of a mixed bag I would say in artificial lighting with human subjects coming - what'd he say close-up macro charts it can take but I would say don't go too close as you can see here I try to go too close to the subject and it started blurring so that is something you have to note now I'm going to the front facing camera the front facing camera is a 16 megapixel and outdoor shots as you can see it came out good even with the portrait more it came out good but when we move to indoor lighting conditions and artificial lighting conditions I feel the front face in camera is also struggling a little bit as you can see some of the shots came out to be hazy and blurry yes you can definitely take some shots as you can see I got these two shots with the front-facing camera off good but I mean it's sort of a hit or a mess in artificial lighting shooting this video with the rear facing camera and this is the regular mode and as you can see guys I'm just walking to give you an idea how's the video recording and it also our luvs video recording in the wide-angle mode so let's switch to that and see how it does so now I guys as you can see I'm in the wide-angle mode and I'm just going to do the same thing I'm just going to walk around so this is a video in the ultra wide-angle mode now shooting this part of the video with the front-facing camera of the samsung galaxy m30 and as you can see guys I'm just walking around and the audio is also being recorded why it's internal microphone so this should give you an idea how is the video with the front-facing camera of this galaxy m30 so now let's move to the corn what are the things that I did is not like on this phone and the one little thing that I noticed on this phone is that almost every modern phone has a compass so I now got the compass app and here if I fire this up as you can see it's just idiotic ly wrong it just shows you the wrong stuff almost all the time keeps rotating like this we show it on the Galaxy phone and everything this is wrong as you can see it just goes wrong so again you got to be careful with this you simply cannot trust the compass app on this smartphone so again it's very very buggy I don't know why even it's showing that it's working it simply does not work it's showing wrong directions and stuff so you've got to be careful with this I did try Google Maps also with this one and with Google Maps it worked fine when there was a direct line of sight because it was using GPS but sometimes when you are under multiple flyovers it doesn't have a direct GPS connection and their compass helps and here it just goes bonkers so that is something you have to note if you rely too much on what do you say Google Maps and navigation because of the faulty compass I don't know if I can recommend to you this smartphone and now I'm moving to another thing is that as I've told you it has that auto brightness sensor I've disabled it but the thing is that it does not have a dedicated auto brightness sensor what actually Samsung is doing is actually they're using the front-facing camera for the auto brightness and it works don't get me wrong it's not bad it works but I feel because of that it does consume quite a bit of battery because in my top four ten apps of what was using the battery the auto brightness sensor was generally and the fifth or sixth position so that is also something you got to know where again it's not a big issue with this device because it has that mass of six thousand milliamp hour battery but again oh that was something that I have noticed now moving to another thing is that it has this six point four inch screen and I would say I don't know if it's visible here because of this the camera is able to pick it up or not if you notice if you have some scratches over here and the thing is that Samsung does not specify what kind of glass protection do we have on this one and I used this phone roughly guys and within a week as you can see I have got some scratches over here and the thing is that Samsung also does not pre apply any screen guard or anything on this device so if you're buying this phone apply a screen guard on this one and this is small nitpicking I would say and not a deal-breaker the fingerprint scanner is over here and it works fine as you can see which works fine but I felt it is not the fastest because these days we have quite a few phones that have a much faster fingerprint scanner than this one this won't bother you you get used to it but again that is also something that I have noticed now move to one big thing that I'm noticing with the Samsung mid-range devices is that if you go over here again I have removed it you are getting what do you say unnecessary arts kind of notification like what we generally see on Xiaomi phones even on this one there is that my galaxy app that shows unnecessary notifications so again beware of that and while you're setting up the phone there are some options like casserole marketing many users just say agree to wall if you do that you will see unnecessary notifications a lot more so you got to be careful in fact watch the video that I posted about six months ago I had a similar situation with the Samsung Galaxy a 50 if I recall and I made a dedicated video what you should do while you are setting up to remove that so and you need to do this while you are setting up the phone otherwise you will get those unnecessary add it's sad to see that Samsung is also sort of following what what you say a Xiaomi is doing that my Galaxy app comes here and it shows you unnecessary notification it pushes you to install this or that app so that is something that I do not like and overall I would say it's a fine device and now going to the updates also during the I think so I unbox this almost a month ago and I got two updates during that time and it's very funny that the first update goofed up the camera quite a bit but now just about four five days ago I also got one more update that fixed the camera and but still even with this this the latest update that we have if I go to the about the phone's software it's still showing the August security update so again they are a little bit slow in terms of update as you can see so I don't know when will this device get the Android 10 update it will get but the question is then so overall as you can see it's a pretty good mid-range device for 14,000 you are getting that six six thousand milliamp hour battery and the general performance is also good so you can go for this but again as I've told you I won't recommend this moon for heavy gamers because with heavy gaming at least at Babji I noticed that the back was getting a little bit warm and also the camera front-facing camera in indoor lighting conditions was struggling a little bit many people asked me to compare with Xiaomi and real me yes if you are opting for Xiaomi and real me devices if you spend a little bit more you can get devices with better snapdragon associates which are better for gamers but I know quite a few of you who do not want Chinese related smartphones YouTube privacy or security reasons and if you have that kind of a person and if you don't do a lot of gaming then yes certainly you can have a look at this Samsung Galaxy M 30 as and to be frank guys this handset perform much better than I expected anyways guys that is set for the review of the Samsung Galaxy M 30s and if you guys are still not subscribed to my youtube channel hit that subscribe button this is Ron G that I hope to see you in my next video take care guyshi there this is Ranji that in this video let's do the review of the Samsung Galaxy M 30s and I know quite a few of you been asking about this one and now I've used this for almost about 10 days so I'll divide this review between pros and cons what do I like about it and what other things do I do not like and there's a huge list guys here are the pros and a big

this is small nitpicking I would say and not a deal-breaker the fingerprint scanner is over here and it works fine as you can see which works fine but I felt it is not the fastest because these days we have quite a few phones that have a much faster fingerprint scanner than this one this won't bother you you get used to it but again that is also something that I have noticed now move to one big thing that I'm noticing with the Samsung mid-range devices is that if you go over here again I have removed it you are getting what do you say unnecessary arts kind of notification like what we generally see on Xiaomi phones even on this one there is that my galaxy app that shows unnecessary notifications so again beware of that and while you're setting up the phone there are some options like casserole marketing many users just say agree to wall if you do that you will see unnecessary notifications a lot more so you got to be careful in fact watch the video that I posted about six months ago I had a similar situation with the Samsung Galaxy a 50 if I recall and I made a dedicated video what you should do while you are setting up to remove that so and you need to do this while you are setting up the phone otherwise you will get those unnecessary add it's sad to see that Samsung is also sort of following what what you say a Xiaomi is doing that my Galaxy app comes here and it shows you unnecessary notification it pushes you to install this or that app so that is something that I do not like and overall I would say it's a fine device and now going to the updates also during the I think so I unbox this almost a month ago and I got two updates during that time and it's very funny that the first update goofed up the camera quite a bit but now just about four five days ago I also got one more update that fixed the camera and but still even with this this the latest update that we have if I go to the about the phone's software it's still showing the August security update so again they are a little bit slow in terms of update as you can see so I don't know when will this device get the Android 10 update it will get but the question is then so overall as you can see it's a pretty good mid-range device for 14,000 you are getting that six six thousand milliamp hour battery and the general performance is also good so you can go for this but again as I've told you I won't recommend this moon for heavy gamers because with heavy gaming at least at Babji I noticed that the back was getting a little bit warm and also the camera front-facing camera in indoor lighting conditions was struggling a little bit many people asked me to compare with Xiaomi and real me yes if you are opting for Xiaomi and real me devices if you spend a little bit more you can get devices with better snapdragon associates which are better for gamers but I know quite a few of you who do not want Chinese related smartphones YouTube privacy or security reasons and if you have that kind of a person and if you don't do a lot of gaming then yes certainly you can have a look at this Samsung Galaxy M 30 as and to be frank guys this handset perform much better than I expected anyways guys that is set for the review of the Samsung Galaxy M 30s and if you guys are still not subscribed to my youtube channel hit that subscribe button this is Ron G that I hope to see
