Samsung Galaxy M31: Pros & Cons

8.1
//
out of 10
MSP Score
  • Pros
  • Class-leading, 6.4-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display
  • One UI 2.0 is simply the best-looking custom UI in the segment
  • Segment-leading 64MP main + 8MP ultrawide cameras at the rear
  • 32MP selfie camera offers one of the best selfies in the segment
  • Gigantuous, 6000mAh battery; 15W charging on board as well
  • Cons
  • Probably the slowest smartphone in the segment; Exynos 9611 processor is to blame
  • Doesn't feel premium in hand
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy M31 offers the best display, camera quality, software experience, and battery life in its segment. However, its super-slow performance is a huge letdown. The device feels so sluggish that at a point you don't care about the positive bits of the device; you just feel like throwing it away for its poor performance. In spite of many class-leading features, I'd suggest you go for Xiaomi or Realme smartphones in the segment, which may not offer features as good as that of the Galaxy M31 but they get your work done and offer tremendous reliability.

Samsung Galaxy M31 Details

Exynos 9611 SoC, Android 10-based One UI
The Galaxy M31 from Samsung is quite an upgrade when compared to its predecessor. It is one of the most affordable handsets to feature a Exynos 9611 SoC that was first introduced by Qualcomm early in 2019. This chipset has been fabricated on an 11nm process and features an octa-core processor where four performance Kryo 260 cores operate at 2.0GHz while four power-efficient Kryo 260 Silver cores operate at 1.8GHz. In terms of memory, the phone offers 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage on its base model. Further storage expansion is indeed possible using the included dedicated microSD card slot. The Galaxy M31 is also one of the first smartphones to run Android 10 out-of-the-box. As is customary with all new Samsung smartphone, you have the brand's own One UI skin running on top of the OS.
Super AMOLED Screen, 64MP Primary Rear Shooter
Samsung continues to impress by bringing Super AMOLED screens on smartphones that are priced competitively. The one on the Galaxy M31 measures in at 6.4-inches and bears a Full HD+ resolution. The bezels are quite thin, and there is a V-shaped notch up top to house the selfie camera. Samsung is making use of a 32MP resolution sensor for this purpose. Turn the phone around, and you are greeted by a quad rear camera setup. The primary lens here is a 64MP sensor that makes use of pixel-binning for better low-light image capture. This is accompanied by a 8MP sensor that captures ultrawide-angle shots, alongside a 5MP + 5MP sensors that measures depth data and macro for bokeh effects in portrait shots.
6000mAh Battery, Connectivity Options
Just like its previous iterations, the Samsung Galaxy M31 ships with a large 6000mAh battery. For charging, the phone makes use of a Type-C port and ships with a 15W fast charger. The phone lets you connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks, offers Bluetooth 5.0 support, and lets you use two 4G VoLTE SIM cards at the same time. For audio, the phone offers a 3.5mm headphone jack as well as a bottom-firing loudspeaker. As for security, you get a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner as the primary means of biometric unlock.
