Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy A31 6 GB / 128 GB / Global / SM-A315F technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy A31 suits buyers who want a sharp display and a high-capacity battery, but its 60 Hz refresh rate is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 6.4″ Super AMOLED display has 411 ppi, among the highest pixel densities of its time. Its 5,000 mAh battery also has more capacity than most, while 15 W charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time.

This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage. AnTuTu performance is below average for phones launched around the same time, a drawback for buyers who put processing performance first. The main camera's 48 MP resolution is above average, but its f/2 aperture is worse than that of most phones from the same time, and the camera is below average overall.

The display and design together stand better than those of most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity also stands better than most; the phone includes NFC and dual SIM. At 185 g, its weight is above average in the favorable sense. The NeoScore is 5.0. Overall, the Galaxy A31 makes most sense for buyers who value screen clarity and battery capacity more than fast charging, a higher refresh rate or stronger performance.
