Hot on the heels of the Samsung Galaxy S Series launch, the South Korean tech giant Samsung on Monday unveiled the fresh Galaxy A Series phones. The company says it is starting the 2019 Galaxy A Series rollout with the launch of Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 models. Featuring 6.4-inch Infinity-U Super AMOLED screens, the Samsung Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 phones come with 4,000mAh battery. It is rumoured that Samsung will also bring the Galaxy A10 and Galaxy A20 smartphones in the lineup over the coming months. Separately, Samsung India has sent out invites for a press event on February 28 in Mumbai, where the company is expected to share the India launch details of the Galaxy A Series phones.

Samsung has not shared any pricing or availability information at this point, but we won't have to wait for long for the official details, considering the Samsung event in India next week. Part of the company's mid-tier portfolio, the Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 smartphones seem to continue what Samsung started with the new Galaxy M Series phones this year. The Galaxy A Series, however, seems much more polished and premium than the Galaxy M Series phones, at least on paper. As we mentioned, Samsung is holding an event on February 28 in Mumbai, where the Samsung Galaxy A-Series launch is expected

“We are committed to providing meaningful progress to everyone for a better mobile experience, and that innovation starts with the upgraded Galaxy A Series,” said DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics in a statement. “People are changing the way they connect, and their smartphones need to keep up. Our new Galaxy A Series offers improvements to the essential features that will support these live interactions, with diverse options to meet their ever-changing needs.”
