Samsung last month launched its latest midrange series of devices, the Galaxy A series, and its seems some of these devices have begun making their way to the major telcos, with Optus now stocking the Samsung Galaxy A30 through its Pre-Paid service, for $299.
The Galaxy A30, which is bringing some high end design and feature to the new battle ground within the midrange market for devices, certainly does look both impressive in person and on paper for the price listed.

Nice price. I assume it locked to the Optus network??
For prepaid its most likely, but you can unlock for a fairly reasonable fee if memory serves.
