Samsung Galaxy M31 Review
What is the cost of Samsung m31?
Hello friends welcome to Technomaxlover .Today i am going to deliver Samsung Galaxy M31 Review. Samsung Galaxy M31 comes with 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage variants and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variants from the store. The price of these two in India is Rs 15,999 and Rs 16,999 respectively. So lets start Samsung Galaxy M31 Review...
However, Samsung has been giving a discount of Rs 1,000 for some time in this phone.
The Samsung Galaxy M series has gained a lot of popularity for its affordable prices and good hardware. Samsung has succeeded in reducing prices by selling all models of this series online, reducing distribution costs.
The Samsung Galaxy M30, which comes in the sub-15,000 segment, is one of the smartphones to further the success of this series and this may be the reason why the company later introduced a better version of this phone as the Galaxy M30S. Now the company has launched a new upgrade version of both these phones in the market called Galaxy M31, which comes with some upgrades compared to both of its previous versions.
In this phone you get a quad-camera setup. However, the processor and battery capacity have not been changed. Will this latest Galaxy phone be enough to keep the Galaxy-M series competitive in the market? We have reviewed the Galaxy M31 to find out. You also know
Samsung Galaxy M31 design
At first glance, it is difficult to differentiate between Samsung Galaxy M30S and Galaxy M31. Both smartphones feature a 6.4-inch display with Waterdrop style notch, which Samsung calls the Infinity-U display. Its bezels are not thin, but cannot be expected much more according to the price. Like other M-series smartphones, Samsung has made the body of Galaxy M31 using plastic. The earpiece is quite thin and is set in the frame just above the display.
The Galaxy M31 feels comfortable to hold in the hand. Its sides are slightly curved, which makes the phone's grip good. Samsung has given power and volume buttons on the right side of the device. Thumb access to the power button is easy, but the volume button could have been set better. On the left is the SIM tray which was not closing well in our review unit. The Galaxy M31 has 3.5mm headphone jack, primary microphone, USB Type-C port and speaker all options are set below. Only the secondary microphone is given on its upper side.
When you look at the Galaxy M31 from the back, you will definitely see some changes. The camera module is similar to the Galaxy M30, but now comes with an additional fourth camera. There is a fingerprint scanner with the module. After holding the smartphone in hand, this fingerprint reaches the finger comfortably.
The Samsung Galaxy M31 has a large 6,000 mAh battery and weighs 191 grams. Having a larger battery definitely makes the device feel heavier. Samsung has also given a 15W charger in the box, which charges the battery a bit faster than the standard charger. The company has introduced the Galaxy M31 in two colors - Ocean Blue and Space Black. We had the Space Black variant for review, which captures fingerprints very easily.
Samsung Galaxy M31 specifications, features
Does Samsung m31 have Gorilla Glass?
The specification of the Galaxy A31 is very similar to the Galaxy M30. The smartphone comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display, which has a full-HD + resolution. It also has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection, which protects the Galaxy phone from scratches. The display has good viewing angles and it also performs well in outdoor light.
Samsung has also retained the Exynos 9611 chipset included in the Galaxy M30s in this phone. It is an octa-core processor, with four ARM Cortex-A73 cores, with a maximum clock speed of 2.3 GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores, with a maximum clock speed of 1.7 GHz. For graphics, it has a Mali-G72 GPU. You get options of 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage variants and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variants in the phone.
These two are priced at Rs 15,999 and Rs 16,999 respectively. However, Samsung has been giving a discount of Rs 1,000 for some time in this phone, after which their price becomes Rs 14,999 and 15,999 respectively. Currently, the validity of this offer has not given

Is Samsung m31 support 5g?
The Galaxy M31 has two nano-SIM slots and includes support for 4G as well as VoLTE. It also supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. Its storage can be increased to 512 GB via microSD card.
Talking about the software, the phone has given One UI 2.0 based on Android 10. The software is exactly the same as we have seen in the recently launched Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite. We also get some unwanted apps like Galaxy M31. Apart from Google apps on the smartphone, Netflix, Facebook, Candy Crush Saga and Samsung Max came pre-installed. The phone also has Samsung's own apps. These include My Galaxy and Samsung Shop. We found that My Galaxy is an annoying app, as it sends many notifications throughout the day.
We would advise you to be careful while setting up the device. At the time of setup, Samsung asks for some permission from you. Here you have to take a little care, because according to these permissions Samsung will also send you marketing notifications. In the setup process you will also be given the option to install some apps, which we would suggest to leave.
The Galaxy M31 also offers Android 10 features such as dark mode and focus mode, which can be enabled very easily through the notification shade. Dolby Atmos is also available, but it only works with earphones. Digital wellbeing and parental control are also present on the device. Apart from this, the Galaxy M31 also comes with common gestures like double tap to wake, gesture screenshots.
Samsung Galaxy M31 performance and battery life
Samsung has given 6 GB RAM in Galaxy M31, which is quite useful when multitasking. We did not find any kind of lag while using the smartphone. The device loads apps quite fast, but large apps take a little time. Multitasking in the Galaxy M31 is quite easy due to the high RAM.
The fingerprint scanner unlocks the smartphone fast and the selfie camera also performs facial recognition with ease and accuracy. We enjoyed watching the content on the AMOLED display. With WideWine L1 support, you can stream full-HD content in it comfortably.
Is Samsung m31 good for gaming?
We also played a PUBG mobile game on the Galaxy M31 and the game ran in high-graphics settings with HD resolution by default. There was no difficulty in playing the game in these settings. After playing for 20 minutes, we saw a four percent drop in battery.
Apart from this, there was a slight warmth in the device, but it was not much. The large battery will give you a chance to play for a long time. In our HD video loop test, this phone lasted 22 hours, 31 minutes. With our use the battery lasted for two days without any problems. If strong battery life is important to you, the Galaxy M31 certainly won't disappoint you.
Samsung Galaxy M31 cameras
The Galaxy M31 features a quad-camera setup at the rear and a 32-megapixel selfie camera at the front. The Galaxy M31's back camera setup has a 64-megapixel primary camera sensor, which comes with f / 1.8 aperture. This camera takes 16-megapixel bin shots by default, but you can easily switch to full resolution.
The setup also features an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera lens with a 123-degree field of view, which has an aperture f / 2.2. The other two cameras come with a 5-megapixel depth sensor and a 5-megapixel macro lens. Samsung's camera app is the same as before. It is easy to use and it is also easy to access all the features included. There is an option to switch between primary and wide-angle cameras. The Scene Optimizer is capable of detecting scenes and setting the camera accordingly.
We found that the Galaxy M31 locks focus on objects easily. The photos came out well and there is no lack of detailing in it. The smartphone enables HDR when needed. Switching to wide-angle camera is easy and you can capture more area than standard in the camera frame. Although the pictures taken from it look good, but when zooming, there is a lack of detail in them. Wide-angle shots also have a rounded effect on the edges.
The Galaxy M31 separates the subject and background well during close-up shooting and gives a natural blur effect. However, we realized that the brighter colors appear more brighter in it. The macro camera also takes good shots, but in low light indoors the camera quality deteriorates.
Portrait shots are good and the camera app gives you the option to set the blur effect before taking a shot. The edge detection of the camera is also very good and the Galaxy M31 does a good job of separating objects from the background.
In low light, the Galaxy M31 takes longer to lock focus, so you have to keep the phone stable while taking shots. Photos taken in low light look good, but when zoomed in, you will see a grain effect. However, this effect can be reduced slightly through night mode.
The selfie taken with the Galaxy M31 is also good. Although it performs well in adequate light, the quality drops completely in low light and the selfie also shows a grain effect.
Video recording can be done in 4K resolution through both the main rear camera and selfie shooter. The Galaxy M31 gives good recording output during the day. However we found the footage to be a bit shaky. It has a super steady mode which uses wide-angle-camera and slightly reduces vibration. We got fairly stable output using this mode, but lacked the detail in the video. If you make video in 4K you will not get any type of stabilization feature.
Verdict
Is Samsung m31 a good phone?
After watching all items we finally come to conclusion of Samsung Galaxy M31 Review. Samsung has seen good success with the Galaxy M30s, which may be one reason why the company did not make much major changes to this phone.
The company upgraded the RAM to the phone earlier than before and added an additional back camera to add a quad rear camera setup. Apart from this, it gave preloaded Android 10. The Galaxy M31 may not feel like a completely new device. It can largely be seen as a small update to the Galaxy M30S.

The phone includes an Exynos 9611 chipset capable processor, but we would have more happy if this phone had a more powerful processor to increase the competition. Certainly some upgrades make this phone a bit better, but it cannot be called a big upgrade compared to the previous smartphone.
The strong battery backup of the phone is still the highlight of this series. The phone can be easily run for two days in one charge, which competitive phones present in this price cannot easily do. The Redmi Note 8 Pro and Realme X2 still give you extremely powerful hardware by price, but if you don't care about the benchmark score and just want a device that comfortably covers the bare needs and with a tremendous battery If it comes, then Galaxy M31 is a good option for you.Hope you like Samsung Galaxy M31 Review.
