Editorial report

Motorola Moto G31 technical sheet

The Motorola Moto G31 suits anyone looking for an AMOLED display in a relatively light phone, and willing to accept weaker performance and slower charging than many phones from its time. Its 6.4″ display has a pixel density of 411 ppi, among the highest of phones launched around the same time, but the 60 Hz refresh rate is among the lowest. At 181 g, it weighs less than most phones from its time.

This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of expandable storage. Its AnTuTu result is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time. The Moto G31 is also sold in configurations ranging from 4 GB / 64 GB to 4 GB / 128 GB. The 50 MP camera has a typical resolution, but its 1/2.76″ sensor is smaller than those in most phones from its time, and there is no optical image stabilization. The 5000 mAh battery has typical capacity; 10 W charging, however, is slower than on most phones from the period.

Other features include IP52 protection, dual SIM, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack and Android 11. Overall, the Moto G31 is typical among phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 4.7. It is best suited to someone who puts a sharp AMOLED display and low weight ahead of charging speed or performance compared with its contemporaries.
