Samsung Galaxy A30, A50 launching in the Philippines soon

Guess what we found out on the sidelines of the Samsung Galaxy M20 launch earlier?

The Samsung Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50, unveiled in India last week, are coming to the Philippines soon. According to a person familiar with the company’s local plans, the announcement is tentatively scheduled for next week.

Being part of the A lineup, the smartphones are priced higher than those from the new M series. In India, the Galaxy A30 retails at ₹16,990 (around P12,528 or $240). The Samsung Galaxy A50 with 4GB and 6GB of RAM, on the other hand, are available for ₹19,990 (P14,751 or $282) and ₹22,990 (P16,964 or $325), respectively.

Launched in India only a few days ago

Our source did not disclose if the two midrange devices will be exclusively sold online in the Philippines, just like the Galaxy M20. The latter, in case you didn’t know, is only available on Lazada, Shopee, Argomall, Abenson, and MemoXpress.

Well, at least it won’t be long before we get a confirmation. Till next week.
