How does this phone fare? - Samsung Galaxy A30 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, wanna ask you a question.
I have a J7 Pro (J730F), and I am interested in buying this phone. So, how does this phone fare when compared to the J7 Pro? is it worth the price? how's performance, multi-tasking? is there any lag (like on FB or Instagram while scrolling or checking stories)? and how is gaming? I mainly play Monument Valley 2 and some quick "Running" games...

Nice mobile better than j7 no lag you can play games very fast

Agree.. go for this unit. A30

[Q] Support for this phone...?

Stats wise this looks like a bang for the buck. I am considering buying this phone. I wanted to know whether the Chipset this phone has will continue to get support. Also wanted to know whether this phone can play Full HD videos. Other than that can this phone play HD Games? Is there any hope that this phone will get further version upgrades? Is it possible to install JellyBean oficially without having to root?
Thanks a lot!

There is a rumor that it will get 4.2, and stops there. We have official JB, no need to root. There is some lag on full HD, but do you need full HD on 4" screen really? :angel: I am not game player, about games you will need to wait for somebody else to answer you.

Thanks a lot! I really appriciate your help!
This phone is pretty good, but not good enough if compared with the more recent ones.. I mean if you want more Battery Life, Gaming Performance and more (future) Official updates or Dev support then you can opt for better, more popular Mid-Range phones (according to your budget)...
But still this phone is pretty good, better than Galaxy R and closely related to the all famous S2!
And yes two more things:
- I never tried playing 1080p videos, so I don't know whether it will work or not.. but I have a lot of 720p videos (and movies) - and they all have lag free playback on the stock video player... The only 720p video that lags for me is the default Samsung Sample Video :silly:
- You can play most of the games on this phones, but most high end games or too resource demanding 3D games won't play well on Highest settings...
I was an iPhone user before and this is my first Android phone.. but yeah this is still a pretty good phone, but there are better phones (maybe at same cost)..
Take a look at this thread too.. I gave my review on S3 Mini vs SGSA on that thread...

Some of those points are really foolish sorry...For example,the HSDPA speed is the same and it doesn't have HSPA+...our phone supports microSDHC too(someone tried microSDXC and it worked too...weird)...the original s3 mini hasn't NFC,there is a I8190N version with that.
Also,I don't think it will get Key Lime Pie if the Note,S2 and ours will not get it just because it is newer.Remember the S plus case(gigngerbread as the original S)
Not trying to flame,just correcting you.
In conclusion if solid multitasking isn't your thing,at my opinion S advance makes it because it has better front camera and an ambient light sensor.Also I like the design more...because it's smaller S3 mini doesn't look as good the S3.I saw them both.
You can't play 1080p videos with the stock video player.At heavy games the single core Mali says its word.
If you want a better phone just buy the S2.Better screen,ram and processor.Also the developement support is waay greater because of a biiiig user base.In my country,the difference is just like 25 euros.
I might switch to the S2 too...

well yeah of course, you're right... even I hate the shape both S3 and S3 mini has.. in my opinion, S2 and our phone has a better and solid look and feel...

Thanks a lot for your input guys! :good: I am considering some other phones like Galaxy Note N-7000 and Sony Xperia L.
The last thing I wanna know is whether the sound output is actually low as some reviewers are saying.
Thanks again!

A quick review best Out-of-the-Box Android phone yet

Without a doubt this is the best android phone out of the box yet ever. I am real happy to be able to take the best pics I ever took. It is also the best native apps set
The Samsung app set is good. Am almost off external apps. I have pushed vlc music player aside somewhat, as well as es file explorer, as well as the hacker keyboard. As I am real glad Samsung has its own keyboard and not the exterior keyboard types with their agreements and data collection.
The best thing is probably in "device care" where there is a RAM clearer under memory tab that clears out those apps that I use most often like social video apps and browser apps caches. This happening all at the press of 1 button.
Music app works well but still (as in VLC also it is) I can not go to album from a song that's playing. It would be a good option. The music comes up really fast after it indexes and takes up a much lower amount data to save.
I think it is a real nice phone for it's price, but "best android phone out of the box ever", "best pics I ever took", "best native apps set"? Nahhhhh
What are you trying to tell us?

Yeah, if you had a JB or KK phone before the A70, then the A70 must be amazing to you lol
But the A-series is a budget phone series. The S and Note series are better in picture quality and speed, if money is no issue and Samsung is your brand. So that was my point.
Calm down, my dear, there there. Hugs and kisses from Mrs. Beretta :laugh:

right. No I mean not joking this things the best. I don't ever wanna mess with those 500 sterling phones again. or 1000 sterling. This phone has the best apps and whatnot. Seriously like I said, the keyboard and whole feel.
Sometimes I looked back at my first phones and they were not much bigger screen than a credit card and they were so magnificent to me then. Like the Motorola Droid 2. How awesome was that thing. In the end the phone's no better than its apps. I remember when Droid 2 got the droid 3 update and they like removed the 2 notch and -2 notch in the phone's camera brightness or something like that. Some other things too.
But If ya look around the samsung developers appear to have done something pretty special with this phone in the apps I mentioned op. I mean look at the junk that is the phones of yesteryear.
Htc my god just junk. They all had "Swiftkey" keyboard after awhile. The only option was to go emoticonless and use the Hacker Keypad. So we got that. I have a literally yellow and black background with white keys board here that doesn't report back to "Swiftkey" or "Touchpal" aaand really naive the way the music app works. It's not giant screensized art but it's real fast to load. Settings, man settings. I understand that you probably have a phone from MI6, but those other apps I mentioned and settings like dark mode. Can't be beat. And the shell of THIS phone is plastic, no cracking with sudden temp changes!
No if you think about it this phone is the best phone there ever was. An I mean seriously no phones that cost 1000 sterling. or even 700. You can keep your MI6 phone, I don't even need a phone that can disable a charging water buffalo thru sonar at 100 paces...
and forget about moddable, or modded phones. There needs to be some discussion someplace about just how evil the bad elements custom rom community has gotten for people like me who never committed no crimes when they wanted us to.
i had a galaxy s8 before the a70 which is a flagship from 2017 almost 3 years old , in some way the a70 is a downgrade from the s8 ,i dont like the camera setup the s8 with a single lens took photos way better than the a70 , photos where sharper and of higher quality and the gpu in the galaxy s8 is way faster than the gpu in the a70 other than that i cant complain it is a nice phone for the money i hope devs would start messing around with this phone maybe we can eventually get a decent camera app port or a working gcam app with complete features

Change for Redmi K20 Pro?

Hi guys,
Recently I was offered to change my Redmi k20 Pro for a Nubia Red Magic 3. I think the K20 Pro is an overall (camera and development) better phone, but I'm a hardcore PUBG player, about 5 to 6 hours a day (not competitive though) so I was wondering if the gaming experience in the Nubia RM3 was worth the change.
Thanks for reading and I appreciate your oppinions

Does K20 pro have hardware shoulder triggers, 20 percent more battery, or fan cooling for gaming? Can you attach Red Magic 3 accessories to it, like the E-Sports or Pro Handle joysticks, or Magic Adapter that gives you hardware ports like Ethernet?
I personally play competitive pubg and I have no issues with 18 people left In the 7th zone my friend who has a k20 pro keeps complaining about random lags and rendering towards the end of the game and also tells me that it reaches upto 51 degrees well my red magic 3 maintain 39 degrees with no air conditioning

Question Exynos 2100 pubg

I don't know why no body is talking on this , but the Exynos version of s21 ultra does not have an option to play at 90hz .
Also , we cannot play at uhd resolution and HDR is just limited to 40 fps ..
Where as on sd888 you can do it all .

The device barely handle 60fps.
My assumption it's not ready for 90 or uhd which fine by me, i never cared how much fps I'm running...i keep losing .
But you shouldn't have opt for the E2100 if you are interested in gaming tbh.

I have not bought the device yet , my region offer Exynos only ,
I am confused between this Exynos variant and OnePlus 9 pro .
I am getting both of them at a similar price , actually OnePlus doesn't deserve that price due to its poor software management and bugs and a relatively new company

After disabling the Samsung game optimizing service it easily handles 60 fps though... And it actually can run 90fps given how it runs LOL at 120 fps steadily..... It won't have a problem running smooth 90fps other than heating.

There's a lot of videos on YouTube regarding the process one from The Golden Reviewer as well.... You can do that through your pc's cmd prompt for free or purchase the package disabler pro on your phone through their website to make it easier.

What difference would it make to gaming ?
Is it anything better than intalling game plugins and game booster plus and tweaking settings?

Yes it indeed makes it better because it doesn't let samsung throttle its performance as low as it does normally. Everyone testing it on exynos version has appreciated the difference.

Disabling the game optimization is what I was talking about... As for tweaking the game booster and plugins ... It doesn't help much after a certain point.
