Since this is how a regular user would use the phone, you can expect a similar experience. Apart from keeping itself charged for longer durations, the massive battery can power other gadgets on the go. The Type-C to USB Type-C cable that is shipped with the phone comes in handy for charging other gadgets in case required. The chipset does not appear capable of handling heavy-duty tasks and is not ideal for graphic-intensive games. My attempt to multi-task on the device while editing a small video clip appeared tough to handle for the phone, which went into a bit of a drag and performed inconsistently. In terms of brands, users of Android phones have the luxury of choice. The devices of two notable companies, Samsung and Google, are hugely popular options. The Google Pixel is renowned for taking great quality photos and comes with Google Assistant and Chrome OS. Amongst Google phones are the Google Pixel 7 Pro and Google Pixel 7a which allow 5G connectivity and an incredible storage stage up to 256 GB. The range of Samsung phones is vast, with the Samsung S21, Samsung S21 Ultra 5G, Samsung S21 +5G, and Samsung A12s as their offering. Amongst many improvements, this has an increased battery life and are 5G enabled. Some options also have PowerShare, which lets you use your phone as a wireless charging pad. More SIM free phones The only other minor issue is that, unlike the new Moto G 5G Plus, it has a basic 60Hz screen. But given how few phones this price have made the jump to 90Hz at the moment, it’s a forgivable omission. Performance and software – solid for the price, with a few niggling quirks
Samsung also resisted its usual urge to make its cheaper phones a little too expensive to realistically compete with other brands. The Galaxy M31 is a good deal.Bands:TD-LTE 2600(band 38) / 2300(band 40) / 2500(band 41) FD-LTE 2100(band 1) / 1800(band 3) / 2600(band 7) / 900(band 8) / 700(band 28) / 1900(band 2) / 1700(band 4) / 850(band 5) / 700(band 13) / 700(band 17) / 800(band 20) / 850(band 26)3G Bands: UMTS 1900 / 2100 / 850 / 900 MHz2G Bands: GSM 1800 / 1900 / 850 / 900 MHz GPRS:Available EDGE:Available The Samsung Galaxy M31 is one of Samsung’s cheaper phones, but also one of our favourites. Why? Battery life. The Samsung Galaxy M31 has a huge 6,000mAh battery that will keep plodding along happily long after the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has run out of power. The 25W charger supplied with the device looks sturdy and can top up your smartphone in just over an hour and in almost half an hour you get around 50% of battery that is good enough to last for a day in most cases. Final verdict
Various connectivity options on the Samsung Galaxy M31 include WiFi - Yes Wi-Fi 802.11, ac/b/g/n/n 5GHz, Wi-Fi Direct, Mobile Hotspot, Bluetooth - Yes v5.0, and 4G (supports Indian bands), 3G, 2G. Also, the handset is a treat to use as the sensors on the Samsung Galaxy M31 include Light sensor, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope. The Galaxy M series has proved extremely popular around the world and its newest addition, Galaxy M31, is set to continue that success” said Conor Pierce, Corporate Vice-President of Samsung UK & Ireland. “The M31 brings innovation to where people want it most; a beautiful display, powerful camera and huge battery life; and all this at a very accessible price point.” In the market for a new smartphone? Consider the newly launched iPhone 15–the latest addition to the range. The iPhone 14 is also a great option for people who want hi-end tech for creating videos and managing their work. Apple has brought some of the great features of previous iPhone models and made them even better. With a rear camera with 12 megapixels, a 6.1 inch display, and up to 20 hours of battery life, it's an excellent choice if you're looking to upgrade. Or how about the iPhone 14 Pro? With an innovative dynamic island, 48 Megapixels and fast A16 Bionic chip, this iPhone is sure to give you the best of media and technology. In addition, the 6.4” Infinity-U super AMOLED display combined with Dolby Atmos sound makes for an immersive and cinematic viewing experience.What does this mean for real-world battery life? Well, you should comfortably hit two days of use on a single charge, with perhaps a little bit of wiggle room on day three, too. On a personal note, I accidentally left it switched on in my desk drawer for an entire weekend, and it only dropped 2% of its total charge (without a SIM card inside). Samsung Galaxy M31 review: Cameras The Samsung Galaxy M range of smartphones are mid-range devices that offer really solid features for an affordable price. With a large 6.4-inch screen, the Galaxy M31 offers an undeniably immersive display experience. The Super AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixel resolution is ideal for video viewing and gaming. With a simple yet elegant design, the M31 also features a fingerprint scanner on the rear. Solid Technical Performance Screen: 6.4in 2340 x 1080 OLED | Processor: Exynos 9611 | Battery: 6000 mAh | Camera: 64MP, 8MP wide, 5MP wide, 5MP macro | Dimensions: 159.2 x 75.1 x 8.9 mm | Weight: 191g | Charging: 15W The Samsung Galaxy M31, although in the mid-range, has excellent performance thanks to its Exynos 9611 processor. In addition, it has 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage depending on the version. Note that this storage can be extended via a microSD card for a maximum of 512 GB. This provides plenty of storage to safely keep all your files on the device itself. A High-Capacity Battery Samsung could’ve gone for an in-display fingerprint sensor on this phone since most competitors in this price range sport one, however, the side-mounted physical fingerprint sensor is a better idea and we will talk about it later on in the review. There is support for Widevine L1, hence streaming high definition content over the internet is not an issue on this phone. Performance
For instance, there’s very little bloatware with the exception of Samsung’s own variety of apps which tend to have their uses, although why I’d ever need to use the Galaxy Store when Google’s App Store is right there, is beyond me. Don't forget to get yourself a quality pair of wireless headphones to enjoy with your brand new Galaxy M31 such as the Samsung Galaxy Buds+, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and the Sony WH-1000XM4. Samsung Galaxy M31 Of course, even with that high-end FHD+ resolution, there’s no getting around the fact that if you want to dive into the full-screen experience, you’re going to have to deal with the notch cutting into the action. Granted, it’s minuscule compared to the likes of Apple’s now seriously outdated shelf, but it’s still there. I kid of course, I don’t happen to share the same disdain for the inclusion of macro cameras on smartphones that other critics do, and it’s fun to snap an artsy shot of a bug or a flower every now and then, but let’s face it, the real meat and potatoes are the ultra-wide and main cameras.The Galaxy M31 proves that having a multi-day battery life doesn’t cost the Earth, and if you were planning on using the M31 as your main media device of choice, this unbelievable battery life paired with the phone’s AMOLED screen makes for a match-made in heaven. You could binge content for hours on this thing. On the rear, Samsung has gone for a minimalist design, which is something that I liked given the heavy-duty stuff that's par for the course these days. All you have is the quad-camera setup and LED flash housed in a rectangular camera module and the Samsung branding. All functionality, features, specifications and other product information provided in this document including, but not limited to, the benefits, design, pricing, components, performance, availability, and capabilities of the product are subject to change without notice. S-series flagships rule Samsung’s phone line-up for the first half of any given year. But when it gets towards the end of summer, you know you need to wait to see what the Note range has in store. Moving onto the glorious display, Samsung has really thrown everything at it. You get a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED panel, with the ability to reach a whopping 1500 nits of peak brightness and you can also dual-wield the complete 1440p refresh rate and 120Hz refresh rate this time. This display has few equals – easily beating the iPhone 12 Pro Max and rattling tough rivals like the OnePlus 9 Pro and Oppo Find X3 Pro.
Great Deal
