LG seems to be working on a bunch of new smartphones that may be part of a rumoured ‘Q' series. Back in May, the company reportedly trademarked 13 Q-series phone names and now, a South Korean publication has stated that some of those phones will be 5G enabled. One in particular, the LG Q92 5G that comes with model number LM-Q920N, is said to be a more affordable alternative to the LG Velvet, which is also a 5G phone. Further, there are several variants of the LM-Q920N suggesting that there will be carrier dependent models with different storages, as well as non 5G models.

The smartphone’s display will have an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels but the screen size is still unknown. Further, the Q92 will boot Android 10 OS out of the box.

LG is yet to officially release any details of the upcoming model. However, the Q92 5G is believed to be a cheaper alternative to the well-received LG Velvet 5G. If that be the case, we may likely see the smartphone launched soon.

It is worth to mention that LG has surprised most of its costumes this year with the release of a new smartphone dubbed LG Velvet. The device came as a massive overhaul in terms of LG phone design. Moreover, it dethroned the LG series and for the first time, we didn’t have an LG G smartphone. A few years ago, LG was among the most relevant smartphone makers. However, it failed to keep pace with the competitive falling with non-innovative smartphones. This year, the company introduced the LG Velvet in a bid to bring some fresh air for its struggling smartphone division. We’re not sure if the handset will be a huge success, after all, it packs mid-range specs but it costs like a flagship.

Samsung Galaxy M30s Review

To start with, Samsung is known for delivering some amazing displays and the Galaxy M30s tells the tale quite brightly. The phone is loaded with a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity-U display with a screen resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels. The display offers own good colour reproduction and viewing angles are good as well. By default, the colours are muted, but you can switch to Vivid mode in the Display Setting to make it look punchier and colourful. The large screen makes the streaming experience a delightful one. We watched a couple of series on Galaxy M30s and we were satisfied with the display performance. The phone comes with Widevine L1 support, meaning that you can stream HD content on Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos.
Another area where the Galaxy M30s shines is the battery. The smartphone is equipped with a massive 6,000mAh battery and it comes with 15W fast charging support. The phone is currently the only one in this price segment that offers this much capacity. During our testing period, the phone easily lasted two days with an average screen time of 8 to 9 hours. When we stressed the battery performance by playing some games, streaming videos, using social media apps and for navigation, we still got almost one and a half-day of battery backup. The 15W fast charger was helpful for charging the phone within 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Samsung Galaxy M30s is powered by the latest Exynos 9611 processor along with Mali G72 MP3 GPU. The latest chipset from Samsung almost gives comparable performance to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor. During our usage, we didn't not noticed any lag and multitasking was smooth as well. The phone handles most of the casual titles without any problem and high-end games like PUBG Mobile runs good, though you still notice slight frame drop.
Samsung has upgraded the cameras of the Samsung Galaxy M30s. The phone now comes with a triple rear cameras with 48-megapixel primary lens with f/2.0 aperture, an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens with 123-degree FOV and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. For the front, it is equipped with a 16-megapixel selfie shooter. The daylight performance of the phone is good as colours came out to be close to the source and macro shots were good as well. The wide-angle captures a larger area.

Design and Display

Samsung took a little longer to adopt to the new design language of a notch display, and it all started with the Galaxy M series this year. The Galaxy M30 was one of the better design phone that Samsung introduced over its Galaxy J or Galaxy On series. The Galaxy M30s is not much different from the predecessor Galaxy M30 as well. It features almost similar design but with a new style triple-camera module and new color options. The back is still made of glossy plastic, and it attracts fingerprints/ smudges easily. Having said that, Samsung has done a good job in keeping the weight down (188 grams) despite a massive 6,000mAh battery.
Coming to the display, there is no change in the M30s’ 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel. It still looks nice and offers full-HD+ (1080 x 2340 pixels) resolution with Infinity U notch. I had no problem with its touch performance, brightness levels, sunlight legibility and viewing angles. Samsung’s displays are usually oversaturated, so that part remains same on this phone too. Overall, the display quality is great for its price. I would rate M30s’ display higher than its competing devices – Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro, Realme 5 Pro and Mi A3.

Massive 6,000mAh battery we all wanted

The biggest highlight of Galaxy M30s is its massive 6,000mAh battery, something that we all need for our smartphones today. During my time with the device, it could easily last me about 1.5 days. In terms of the battery time for not so heavy users like me, the same battery should do fine for about two days for initial few months at least. The predecessor M30 also had a big battery, and it was 5,000mAh. So, just in comparison, the 6,000mAh battery is slightly better. The older mode M30 could also manage one full day on a single charge. That said, it is so much pain to charge this battery in one go, because it takes more than 3 hours to reach 100 with its supplied 15W charger.

Samsung Galaxy M30s: Camera Review

Coming to the triple-camera setup of the Samsung Galaxy M30s, it has been upgraded as well. Samsung has used its 48-megapixel primary ISOCELL GM2 sensor in the M30s, which is a huge jump over the 13-megapixel sensor seen on the M30. The other two lens in the setup are the 5-megapixel depth camera, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with a 123-degree field of view. On the front, the smartphone gets a 16-megapixel selfie camera in the notch.

Performance And Gaming

The Galaxy M30s comes with an updated chipset. In the place of the Galaxy M30's 14-nanometre Exynos 7904 is a 10-nanometre Exynos 9611. Like its predecessor, the new chipset employs eight cores (four Cortex-A73, four Cortex-A53) but at higher clock speeds. The GPU too is a slightly newer Mali-G72 MP3. Our review unit came with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The original Galaxy M30 we reviewed, however, came with only 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The review unit fared quite well on our standard CPU and GPU benchmark tests. On AnTuTu 7.0, the Galaxy M30s picked up 132160 points, as opposed to the Galaxy M30's 107705. On PCMark 2.0, the gap was not much. The Galaxy M30s scored 5626 points, and the Galaxy M30, 4969. On 3DMark's Sling Shot, the gap pretty much doubled. The Galaxy M30s bagged 1548 points, and the Galaxy M30 got 730 points. There was a significant bump in storage speeds as well.
