To recall, Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy M series in India last month in a bid to wage war against Chinese rivals like Xiaomi in the mid-range market. It isn’t even up to a month since the first two Galaxy M devices arrived, and we are hearing of the imminentĀ launch of a new entrant into the series – the Galaxy M30.
The Galaxy M30 has been in the news for a couple of weeks now, giving us a pretty good idea of what to expect, but we never thought it could be arriving soon. Samsung is all now set to unveil the deviceĀ on February 27 at 6 pmĀ as hinted by a teaser on Twitter. The teaser makes no reference to a launch venue, perhaps the unveiling will be silently lunch in India.

The launch teaser also makes no reference to the device’s specs, however, does suggest the device will highlight a triple rear camera setup as hinted by the hashtag #IM3XPOWERED. The teaser also suggests the Galaxy M30 will flaunt anĀ edge-to-edge display, while the rear has a fingerprint scanner. The display is said to be 6.38-inch Super AMOLED Infinity V display with a tiny notch at the top, while it is tipped to use the same SoC and battery size found on the M20Ā – the Exynos 7904 processor up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and a 5000mAh battery.
Time to get powered like never before!

We are not sure what price tag the device will attract, but reports have it that it could start at about Ā Rs. 15,000/ $210 for the base variant making it one of the most affordable phones with a triple rear camera setup.
With it’s SAMOLED screen, 5000 mAh. Battery, and Dual SIM SLOTS plus dedicated Sd card slot, this Solid Samsung offering will take a major portion of the mid market away from Chinese brands, in this range, which are depending on hype of a false 48 MP cam. In India, Samsung is still respected for its build quality and wide reach of its after sale service. Xiaomi doggedly sticking to hybrid SIM slot in Note 7, abhorred here.
