The Galaxy M31s comes as the successor of the Galaxy M31 in India. It packs a massive 6000mAh battery pack and sports a 64-megapixel lens-based quad-camera set-up.
Over the last few years, Samsung has received a lot of love for its Galaxy M series of smartphones. The tech giant has seen itself make deep inroads into the budget and mid-segment of the market with this series of phones that primarily focuses on impressing with its big battery, uncomplicated design, and beautiful displays. Late last month, Samsung added to the line-up by launching the all-new Galaxy M31s smartphone. The phone comes as the successor to the Galaxy M31 in India, which was launched by the company only a few months ago in February this year. The Galaxy M31s brings a number of new features, among which are its massive 6000mAh battery pack and sports a 64-megapixel lens-based quad-camera set-up. The phone has been announced as an Amazon exclusive, which will also be sold through Samsung’s website. The Galaxy M31s has been announced in two variants with 6GB+128GB or 8GB+128GB RAM and storage options. The two variants will be available in Mirage Black and Mirage Blue colour options, with the lower-end variant retailing for a price of Rs 19,999, while the higher-end model coming at Rs 21,999. Read our review to find out if the Galaxy M31s is a good fit for you. Much like a lot of other Galaxy M phones, the Samsung Galaxy M31s goes big on the display — both in size and in terms of performance. This is because the display here is 6.5-inches in size which in our opinion is just about the perfect for a modern-day mid-segment smartphone. The panel here is a FHD+ Super AMOLED screen that is primed for consuming multimedia content and playing games on it. Samsung once again has done a good job with the display, as the panel looks quite premium for the price point. It bright and crisp, and has punchy colours. The only thing missing here is support for fast refresh rates. However, that’s something which is quite understandable considering the price point the device is being sold at. Overall in terms of quality and performance, this panel feels top-notch, one that appears to have been plucked from a much more expensive phone and fitted on the Galaxy M31s to do a stellar job here. The panel also has some bezels around it, however, because of the display’s small centered punch-hole, the overall experience of watching movies and playing device is quite smooth. The display on the device merges into the phone’s metallic frame, which among the other things, also houses the phone’s side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Placed to the right of the frame, this fingerprint scanner is quite responsive to the touch and feels more ergonomic than rear-facing scanners on competing phones.
