The Samsung Galaxy A30 is a rather wide budget phone – its large screen made it feel like a plus-sized handset. It was very light to hold and rather thin, at only 7.7mm thickness.
The look fits 2019 standards, with a bezel reduced display, though it doesn't actually have the glass back or aluminum frame of the Galaxy S10 series. It's polymer on back with a plastic silver-painted frame. It at least looks convincing.
The 6.4-inch Infinity-U AMOLED display was very vibrant, with colors popping and contrasting well – it's undoubtedly a good-looking device, and would be great for watching videos.
