the samsung galaxy m31s has a somewhat
new design
that makes it stand out compared to its
sibling in the galaxy m series
it gets the infinity o display with a
hole punch embedded camera
centered at the top the bezel size is
acceptable for the price
but a few people may find the camera
hole in the center a little distracting
now the amoled display itself spans 6.5
inches
it is a crisp panel with good viewing
angles and gets bright enough
outdoors moving on this phone too
has a side mounted fingerprint scanner
which is kind of becoming the norm these
days
the phone has a glasstick back which is
basically a glossy finish that mimics
glass
mind you it's a complete fingerprint
magnet but you
know what
i like the look overall let's talk specs
now
samsung has tried to keep the pod
boiling with an exynos 9611 powering
this thing
but i'm a bit disappointed since i was
expecting something newer and more
powerful
it is paired with 6gb and 8gb options
but the storage remains constant at
128gb you can take the storage up to
512gb using a microsd card
since i have used this processor in a
few other smartphones i had a fair idea
of its performance so the galaxy m31s
did not surprise me
i did not encounter lag or starter while
going camera sample
through the menus and using the
default apps
i had the 6gb ram variant and it could
multitask between
different apps easily however loading
heavy apps took longer than usual
in my pubg mobile test the game
defaulted to the high preset with
graphics set to hd and frame rate set to
high
i could play the game
with these
settings without any stutter the device
did get warm to the touch after playing
for 20 minutes
in terms of software the galaxy m31s
runs one ui 2.1
on top of android 10. it's the standard
samsung affair
it comes pre-installed with some apps
and you also get the galaxy app store
one of the major highlights of this
smartphone is its battery
it is backed by a 6000mah battery which
is crazy good
i could manage to squeeze two full days
without having to charge the phone
and the charger 2 is pretty good it's a
25 watt charger
and it takes about an hour and a half to
charge this mammoth of a battery
coming to the cameras the samsung galaxy
m31s sports a quad camera setup
the 64 megapixel primary camera
accompanied by
a ultra wide a macro and a depth sensor
in daylight the phone is quick to meter
light correctly and the ai can detect
scenes quickly
daylight shots were sharp and had
adequate detail
the wide angle camera offers a wider
field of view but there
is distortion and photos are warped at
the edges the resolution is high enough
that you can crop into these shots but
the level of details is lower
close ups had good detail and the phone
can manage a soft bokeh
effect of the background which looks
nice the macro camera does let you get
quite close to a subject
but it did not
manage to capture colors
very well
in low light the galaxy m31s managed
decent shots and kept noise in check
the wide-angle camera did not perform
that well
shooting photos in night mode resulted
in some cropping
the output isn't drastically brighter
but it does have
slightly better detail one thing to note
here
is that the galaxy m31s
comes with the
single take feature
which delivers a wide variety of output
including photos
with the pre-applied filter as well as
hyperlapse and boomerang video effects
after hitting the shutter button the
phone records for about 15 seconds
and offers multiple options including
the best shot
some filters smart
crop hyperlapse
boomerang
and the original video for selfies
you have a 32 megapixel camera you get
good detail in daylight but you need to
keep it steady after hitting the shutter
button for a crisp shot
low light selfies did not offer the same
kind of detail
video recording tops out at 4k with the
primary camera as well as the selfie
shooter
there is stabilization for video but we
noticed there is a shimmer effect in the
output at 4k
while 1080p footage was better in low
light i noticed a shimmer in the output
at both resolutions samsung's galaxy m
series
is consistently popular and the company
has been launching new models into the
market
quite rapidly the galaxy m31s is the
successor to the galaxy m31
and gets a fresh look the new infinity o
amoled display
and faster charging with a higher
capacity bundled charger
it retains the same 6000mah battery and
an aging processor though
which could stop buyers from putting
their money down the camera
performance
is very similar to that
of the galaxy m31
if battery life is your primary concern
then there are very few smartphones that
come close to the galaxy m31s
however you can save yourself some money
by going for the galaxy m31
instead if you don't really care about
the dew drop knots that is
but if you want more value at this
particular price point then the motorola
one fusion plus and the redmi note 9 pro
max
are worthy alternatives and that was my
full review of the galaxy m31s

particular smartphone let me know in the
