• Samsung Galaxy M31 Summary

The Samsung Galaxy M31 sports a big 6.4-inch display and has a waterdrop notch at the top. It has thin bezels around the AMOLED display which helps it stand out among the competition. The Galaxy M31 is comfortable to hold in the hand but is a little heavy at 191g. The weight of the smartphone is mainly because of the big 6,000mAh battery that it packs.

Samsung has equipped the Galaxy M31 with an Exynos 9611 SoC and gets 6GB of RAM. It has two storage variants to choose from, 64GB and 128GB. The Galaxy M31 is a dual SIM device with support for 4G as well as VoLTE. It runs Samsung OneUI 2.0 on top of Android 10. We found the Galaxy M31 to have a fair amount of bloatware onboard.

The Galaxy M31 has a quad-camera setup at the back with the primary being a 64-megapixel shooter. It also houses an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5-megapixel macro camera and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. Daylight camera performance is good but low-light camera performance was disappointing.

Samsung Galaxy M31 review:

Design

The Samsung Galaxy M31 has borrowed its design from its predecessor -- the Galaxy M30. At first glance, it is quite difficult to differentiate between the two devices. The smartphone comes with a 6.4-inch Infinity U display surround by not-so-thin bezels on all sides. The smartphone features smooth edges and round corners, which makes it comfortable to hold the device. Apart from the large display, the front also houses a 32MP selfie camera. The right side houses the volume rockers and power button and the left is home to the SIM card tray and microSD card slot. The mono speaker, USB Type-C charging port and 3.5mm audio jack are located on the bottom of the device. The Samsung Galaxy M31 comes with a shiny rear panel which attracts a lot of fingerprints. The back panel consists of the quad-camera setup, fingering sensor and Samsung branding. The smartphone does not fail to impress in the design segment.

Samsung Galaxy M31 review: Display

The Samsung Galaxy M31 features a 6.4-inch full HD+ AMOLED display with 2340x1080 pixel resolution. The display is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top. The display offers wide viewing angles and the larger screen makes watching movies and playing games a delight. The display comes with the usual Blue light filter which reduces the strain on eyes by limited the amount of Blue light emission. There is also a dark mode that will transform the entire phone in a dark colour. You can either enable the dark mode manually by going to the settings menu or can schedule it to get activated automatically. There is also an option called ‘Accidental touch protection’ which can prevent accidental touches to the display. Apart from this, the device also comes with an always-on display which shows the time, date and pending notifications. The smartphone offers a good display despite being a budget smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy M31 review: Performance

The Samsung Galaxy M31 is powered by Samsung’s own 10nm based octa-core Exynos 911 processor. The company has not upgraded the smartphone in terms of the processor as its predecessor — the Galaxy M30s is also powered by the same chipset. The smartphone packs 6GB of RAM and comes in two storage variants — 64GB and 128GB. Users can further expand the storage up to 512BG by adding a microSD card. In comparison to the Galaxy M30, the Samsung Galaxy M31 comes with an increased RAM capacity which makes multitasking smooth. We didn’t witness any lags or shutters while using the phone. The device worked pretty smooth and fast while switching apps and also during casual gaming. The fingerprint sensor located on the back also works quickly in unlocking the device.

Samsung Galaxy M31 runs Android 10 operating system topped with the company’s own layer of One UI 2.0. The user interface is quite clean and the large app icons give a nice look to the device. There is also an app drawer where users can hide all the apps and can keep the home screen clutter-free. Like other Samsung smartphones, this one also comes preloaded with all the usual Samsung apps along with some third-party apps such as Facebook, Amazon, Snapchat, and others. Samsung has not included Bixby in the Galaxy M31 and along with this the Bixby Vision app is also missing from the device. The device also comes with Digital Wellbeing and Parental Control options which array of usual gestures. For instance, users can double-tap to wake the device and users also have an option to hide the three-button navigation layout and use full-screen gestures to control the smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy M31: Camera

The camera is one of the major updates which comes with the Galaxy M31. The Galaxy M30s has a triple rear camera, while the Galaxy M31 sports a quad-camera setup. The rear camera of the device comprises 64MP main sensor, 5MP macro camera, 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP depth sensor. On the front, you will find a 32MP selfie camera. The company claims that both the cameras are capable of recording 4K video. Samsung has also added Night Mode in the camera for better photography experience. Like always the Samsung camera app is pretty clean and easy to use and users can find different modes to shoot within the app. Along with this, the app also offers a toggle that allows users to switch between the primary and wide-angle lens cameras.

There is also a Scene Optimiser present in the app, which quickly detects the scene and set up the camera accordingly. We were quite satisfied with the camera results of Samsung Galaxy M31. The device was quick to focus and also offered an ample amount of detailing in the images captured. Swinging on the wide-angle lens camera offers a wider field of view along with some really good images. However, we personally loved the macro camera which offered really detailed images. The images captured in daylight were better as compared to the ones taken indoors. The Night Mode incorporated in the device also does a reasonably good job and it reduces noise from the images taken during the night. The 32MP selfie camera does a satisfactory job as both the selfies taken indoor and outdoor turned out to be good.

Samsung Galaxy M31: Battery

The Samsung Galaxy M31 is backed by a massive 6000 mAh battery with 15W fast charging support. Unlike other smartphone makers, Samsung has included a fast charger within the box. We were able to get through the day of mixed usage with a single charge, courtesy the powerful battery Samsung has packed in.

Conclusion

Samsung Galaxy M31 is a good option if you are looking for a device under Rs 20,000. It offers some really good specifications such as a quad-camera setup and a 6000mAh battery and that too with fast charging support. In terms of performance also the smartphone will not disappoint you. The smartphone comes under the budget segment but it doesn’t look like one.
