Samsung India brings the Galaxy M30 to offline retail channels nation-wide

The Galaxy M series debuted exclusively through online retail channels as a way to reduce launch prices and pass those savings on to the customer. But Samsung reworked its strategy a few months ago, and now the Galaxy M30 is available offline.

It has become a little bit more expensive as a result

The Galaxy M30 with the same 3GB/32GB memory configuration costs INR 9,649 ($130) if you choose to purchase it directly from Samsung's website. No other memory variants seem to have been made available offline for the time being.

The main benefit of buying a smartphone from a brick & mortar store is that you have an opportunity to test the device first-hand before you commit to a purchase. For some prospective buyers, this could very well worth paying the extra INR 350 ($4).

As to what you can expect from the Galaxy M30, you can get a lot more information from our original hands-on report, but what's important to keep in mind is that the device has already been succeeded by a spin-off (Galaxy M30s) and a direct sequel (Galaxy M31). You might want to look into those options as well, especially since they are also available through offline channels.
