Samsung Galaxy M30 is highly spec'd for a budget phone

Samsung's new Galaxy M line is designed to take on Xiaomi in certain markets where the latter's value pricing strategy has put a dent into Samsung's sales. Just the other day, Samsung released the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 in India. The pair have large LCD panels (6.2-inches and 6.3-inches, respectively), a decent amount of memory/storage, and a dual camera setup on back. The Galaxy M10 comes with a 3400mAh battery, and a whopping 5000mAh battery is employed by the Galaxy M20.
The triple rear camera setup on back will include a 13MP primary sensor with an aperture of f/1.9. A 5MP wide angle sensor will have an aperture of f/2.2, and another 5MP sensor with an f/2.2 aperture will be used as a depth sensor. The front-facing selfie snapper weighs in at 16MP (with an aperture of f/2.0). There is a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and a massive 5000mAh battery. For some reason, Android 8.1 Oreo, not Android 9 Pie, will be pre-installed.
And this is what the state of the smartphone industry is like today. Competition at the low-end of the spectrum has become so fierce that some so-called budget handsets carry specs that would have been considered high-end as recently as last year. Since the Galaxy M30 has yet to be unveiled, pricing is unknown. The Galaxy M10 starts as low as 7,990 Rupees ($112 USD) and the Galaxy M20 is priced at 10,990 Rupees ($155 USD). All three models feature a gradient finish.
