The “M” series of Samsung is quite popular, and the brand has launched more than a dozen of devices under the series. One of those was the Samsung Galaxy M30S which came as an update to the Galaxy M30. The device came with a few upgrades like cameras, battery capacity, and extra RAM & ROM compared to M30. Samsung had also upgraded the SoC when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy M30S. The device came with Android 9 Pie out of the box and supported Camera2API out of the box. Even though it came with upgraded cameras, the output wasn’t that great. To overcome the issue, we have come with a solution, i.e., Google Camera. We have listed those, but before let us look into the specifications of the new device.
