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.
