Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy M31 8 GB / 128 GB / India / M315FZ technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy M31 suits buyers who put battery capacity first, though its 15 W charging is slower than on most phones of its time. Its 6,000 mAh battery is among the highest-capacity options of that period; topping it up, however, takes place at a lower wattage than most contemporaries offer.
The 6.4-inch AMOLED display has a density of 403 ppi, higher than that of most displays of its time. Its 60 Hz refresh rate and 420-nit peak brightness are lower than on most phones launched around the same time. For photography, the 1/1.72″ sensor is larger than those in most contemporaries, and its 64 MP resolution is among the highest. There is no optical zoom. The rear main camera records 4K video, and an ultrawide camera is also included.
The Exynos 9611 scores 180,011 in AnTuTu, below average for its time. Overall performance is above average, while connectivity is better than most: the phone has NFC, USB-C, dual SIM and LTE. This configuration pairs 6 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, expandable by card; the Galaxy M31 is also sold with up to 8 GB / 128 GB. Its battery, camera and connectivity stand out among phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 5.4, the Galaxy M31 is best suited to buyers who value battery capacity more than charging speed.
