Samsung Galaxy M31s nails almost every aspect of being a mid-range device. Almost.
Samsung Galaxy M-series has been quite popular among budget shoppers who demand a premium touch in smartphones. The latest Galaxy M31s is a successor to the M31, which was already a popular model and had made quite an impression in the budget segment. With the Galaxy M31s, Samsung is hoping to deliver an upgrade that should make the new smartphone worth considering. But should you really consider it? Let’s find out. Samsung Galaxy M31s starts at Rs 19,499 for the 6GB+128GB and Rs 20,499 for 8GB+128GB. The extra RAM should help in multi-tasking if you’re a heavy user, otherwise, the base model should be sufficient. For the extra price as compared to the M31, the M31s brings Infinity-O display,64MP quad-camera and the overall form factor has a much premium finish. Samsung has retained a lot of features from the predecessor, making it tough to recommend for Galaxy M31 users. But it could be worth considering as an upgrade if you’re coming from any other smartphone. Design and Display Samsung Galaxy M31 has a modern design, leaning towards the premium A51 at a glance. Even though it is made of plastic, the finishing is premium enough to fool anyone for a glass body. But there’s no denying the smartphone is bulky, and that’s mostly due to the humungous battery pack. The gradient finish on the back of the phone is a nice touch and doesn’t look to glam. The quad-camera module sits on the top right corner and the volume controls are on the right. Interestingly, the M31s has a power button integrated with a fingerprint sensor on the right, which needs some getting used to. The USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm jack and primary microphone along with speaker are found at the bottom.
