Samsung Galaxy A30 Price in Pakistan & Specs
Samsung Galaxy A30 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan
The Samsung Galaxy A30 (2019) was the phone that brought Samsung's Super AMOLED displays down to the budget segment — and it remains one of the most common used Samsung phones in Pakistan. With a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen, dual cameras, and a 4,000mAh battery, it still works as a basic daily driver in 2026. This guide covers its verified specifications, what to check when buying used, and realistic prices.

Design and Build Quality
The A30 uses Samsung's "Glasstic" design — a glossy plastic back that mimics glass — with a glass front protected by Gorilla Glass 3. It is slim (7.7 mm) and light (165 g) for a 6.4-inch phone. The fingerprint sensor sits on the back panel rather than under the display, which is fast and reliable but means no in-display sensor like its successor, the A30s.
Display Features
The standout feature: a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel at 1080 x 2340 resolution. AMOLED means deep blacks and punchy colours that LCD rivals at this used price cannot match — video and reading look noticeably better. Gorilla Glass 3 adds basic scratch resistance. It is a 60Hz panel, standard for its era.
Processor and Performance
The Exynos 7904 (14nm) is an entry-level chip by 2026 standards: fine for WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, and light multitasking, but it will stutter in heavy games like PUBG at high settings and feels slow next to modern budget chips. 4GB of RAM keeps a handful of apps in memory. Do not buy it as a gaming phone; do buy it as a dependable basic smartphone.
RAM and Storage
4GB RAM with 64GB of internal storage (a 3GB + 32GB variant also exists — confirm which one the unit is). The dedicated microSD slot (up to 512GB) is a genuine plus: you can add storage without sacrificing a SIM slot, since both Nano-SIMs and the card fit together.
Camera Features
A simple dual rear setup: 16MP main with f/1.7 aperture and PDAF, plus a 5MP ultrawide for wider shots. Daylight photos are decent for the price; low-light shots are noisy, as expected. The 16MP front camera takes reasonable selfies. Video is capped at 1080p@30fps. Camera quality is average — the A30's strength is its screen, not its cameras.
Battery and Charging
A 4,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging over USB Type-C. When new it comfortably lasted a full day; on a 6+ year old used unit, battery health is the main risk — degraded batteries are common, so test the phone's screen-on time and check for swelling before paying.
Software and Updates
Launched on Android 9 Pie and officially upgradable to Android 11 with One UI. Security updates ended years ago, so it is not the phone for mobile banking as a primary device — treat it as a secondary or basic-use phone. Unlike Huawei models of the era, it has full Google Play Services.
Connectivity and Additional Features
Dual Nano-SIM, 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, FM radio, and a 3.5mm headphone jack — a feature newer Samsung phones dropped. USB Type-C (a rarity in this price band in 2019). NFC was region-dependent and not confirmed for all units sold in Pakistan.
Variants, Colours and Availability
Discontinued since 2020; available only used or refurbished. Variants: 3GB + 32GB and 4GB + 64GB. Colours per spec databases: Black, Blue, Red, White. Do not confuse it with the Galaxy A30s (triple camera, HD+ screen, in-display fingerprint) — a different phone often listed at a different price.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
Used listings on OLX in October 2026 clustered around Rs. 13,000–17,000 depending on condition and PTA status. Zohaan Mobile Gallery lists the Galaxy A30 at Rs. 28,000 — confirm the current price, condition, and what's included with the store before buying, since used prices vary widely.
PTA: PTA approval is per-device, not per-model. Verify the specific unit's IMEI by SMS to 8484 before paying — a non-PTA unit will stop working on Pakistani networks after the grace period. How to check PTA approval.
Main Advantages and Limitations
Advantages:
- 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display — the best screen in its used-price class
- Dedicated microSD slot plus dual SIM; 3.5mm headphone jack
- Slim, light build with Gorilla Glass 3
- Full Google Play Services; cheap and widely available parts
Limitations:
- Exynos 7904 is slow by 2026 standards — not a gaming phone
- Stuck on Android 11 with no security updates
- Only used stock; battery health varies by unit
- Average cameras; no 5G
Who Should Consider This Phone?
Good fit: buyers wanting the cheapest Samsung with an AMOLED screen — good as a first smartphone, a secondary phone, or for elders who mainly call, message, and watch videos. Look elsewhere if: you game heavily, need current security updates for banking, or want 5G — compare newer options in the Samsung collection.
Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Galaxy A30 have an AMOLED display?

What processor does it use?
The Samsung Exynos 7904 (14nm) with Mali-G71 MP2 graphics — fine for basic use, weak for gaming.

4GB + 64GB is the common variant (a 3GB + 32GB version also exists), with a dedicated microSD slot up to 512GB.

Average: 16MP + 5MP ultrawide rear, 16MP front. Decent in daylight, noisy in low light, 1080p video only.
What is its battery capacity?
4,000mAh with 15W charging over USB-C. Check battery health on any used unit.
Is it PTA approved?

The A30s adds a third (depth) camera and an in-display fingerprint sensor, but drops the screen to HD+ resolution. The A30 keeps the sharper Full HD+ display.
Final Verdict
The Galaxy A30's AMOLED screen still makes it one of the nicest cheap used phones to look at — but buy it for the display and the Samsung badge, not for speed or cameras. At Rs. 13,000–17,000 used it is fair value; check battery health and PTA status before paying.
