Samsung is keen to keep its top position even in the midrange and budget segment. Shortly after the Galaxy M20, the South Korean company now brings the Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 to the Philippines.

Among the two, the Galaxy A30 is pretty modest with its 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display (Full HD+ in resolution) and a small notch. It’s powered by an Exynos 7885 processor with 4GB of memory and 64GB of expandable storage.

It has a 16-megapixel selfie snapper and two rear cameras composed of a 16-megapixel f/1.7 main shooter and a 5-megapixel camera with an ultra wide-angle lens. It also features a rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

Then there’s the Galaxy A50, which is undeniably a powerful midranger. It features the same AMOLED display as the Galaxy A30’s, but with an on-screen fingerprint reader. It’s powered by a faster Exynos 9610 processor with 6GB of memory and 128GB of expandable storage.

Camera-wise, it’s got three on the back: a main 25-megapixel f/1.7 camera, a 5-megapixel depth sensor, and an 8-megapixel ultra wide-angle shooter. In front, it has a 25-megapixel camera for selfies.

The two new phones feature glossy rounded bodies which Samsung calls “3D Glasstic.” Inside the phones are large 4000mAh batteries that support fast charging through USB-C. Thankfully, they come with Android 9 Pie out of the box, including Samsung’s new One UI.

Surprisingly, both phones are cheaper than Samsung’s previous releases. The Galaxy A30 is priced at PhP 13,990 and it’ll be available in black or white, while the Galaxy A50 is at PhP 17,990 with black, white, and blue color options

The phones will be available in stores starting March 30, but pre-ordering will start as early as March 16 for the Galaxy A50. Those who will pre-order through stores and online channels will receive a free JBL Go 2 speaker, a mini tripod, and a 10000mAh power bank. Samsung is also throwing in a JBL Go 2 speaker as a freebie for customers who will avail of the Galaxy A30 on March 30 and 31.
