Samsung Galaxy A31 full review By GSMArena Official

Hey, what's up guys will here for GSM, marina Samsung is really putting the pressure to the mid-range market with plenty of releases these days, one of the latest to come out is the Galaxy, a 31. It's on the lower end of the spectrum price-wise, but still brings an AMOLED screen. Is this a model with the most bang for your buck? Let's find out in our full review the galaxy a 31 s. Design is very similar to other Samsung 20/20 mid-Rangers, especially the galaxy a 51. It has an interesting looking back design with this quadratic line patterns, though the back isn't made of glass here. What? If plastic, the phone is actually rather hefty thanks to its large 5000 million power battery, our prism, crush blue, finish, looks nice and shiny, and the curved back feels comfortable in the hand it's not as premium as a phone made of metal and glass, but it's sturdy.

The galaxy, a 31 is one of the less expensive Samsung phones. You can get with an AMOLED display. It's a six point, four inch panel with a 1080p resolution and an u-shaped notch cut out for the selfie cam. The screen offers solid performance. It's plenty sharp and has the great contrast you'd expect from an AMOLED plus there's respectable brightness.

We measured a maximum of four hundred and twenty minutes with a manual slider and a boost to up to six hundred and thirty-five minutes in auto mode when out in the Sun color. Reproduction is good too it's vivid and punchy by default, but you can adjust the colors to be quite accurate in settings. The galaxy 31 employs an under display fingerprint reader, it's reliable enough and always ready to wake up and unlock the phone. It's not the fastest sensor around, though, as you'd expect from a phone at this price point, the galaxy a 51 has a single bottom firing loudspeaker, it's not especially loud, but the quality here is decent for a mid-range err with nice mid and even some bass tones. You do get a 3.5 millimeter jack on the galaxy, a 31 for plugging in standard headphones and their support for FM radio -. As far as storage goes, you have options for 64 or 128 gigs onboard Plus.

This is expandable through the dedicated micros slot, the galaxy a 31 s interface is quite familiar. It's the current up-to-date version of Samsung's, one UI / Android 10. Anyone used to a recent Samsung should feel right at home. Here everything feels quite smooth and glowed free. There are a few Samsung functions, but the majority are provided by Google, we're glad to see NFC here for contactless payments and connectivity, and you get edge panels which give you a space to keep plenty of shortcuts powering the galaxy.

A 31 is a MediaTek hello P 65 chipset performance is decent, but in benchmarks the 31 falls behind most of his competitors, even Samsung's own devices that run in the Enos 96 xi chip. It's the GPU performance that is lacking here. So it's hard to recommend the 31 for graphically intensive tasks like gaming. But as far as battery life goes, the Galaxy a 31 is no slouch. It has a five thousand William hour battery pack and was able to score an impressive 100 24 hour endurance rating and our proprietary tests.

Charging is capped at 15 watts, and it's not the fastest. Half an hour of charging only got us from 0 to 30 percent. On the back of the galaxy, a 31 is an l-shaped quad camera setup. It has a 48 megapixel main camera, an 8 megapixel ultra-wide cam, a 5 megapixel macro cam and a depth sensor photo shot with the main camera come out at 12 megapixels, and these look great. There is a lot of detail.

Low noise, natural-looking, colors plenty of sharpening and surprisingly wide dynamic range. Here's a 48, megapixel mode available. If you want, you can get a bit more detail this way, but you sacrifice dynamic range and the file size is huge. Portraits are taken with the main camera together with a deaf sensor. These are great with excellent subject: detection and separation, the D focus backgrounds are quite well done.

Two shots taken with the 8 megapixel ultra-wide camera are usable. The detail level is okay, but noticeably less than the 12 megapixel. Ultra-wide cams are the more expensive Samsung models colors are decent looking, but there's also plenty of noise and dynamic range is narrow. Close-Up photos from the 5 megapixel macro cam are surprisingly good with enough detail. However, this camera has fixed focus, so it takes some trial and error to get a sharp photo in low-light photos from the galaxy 830 ones.

Main camera aren't great they're, soft and noisy with washed out colors. At least dynamic range is OK. However, unlike most phones, these days, there's no night mode available here to help things out as you'd expect the ultra-wide camera fares even worse. In these conditions now on to selfies, the a31 has a 20 megapixel front-facing camp, and you can take either 8 or 12 megapixel photos with it through some combination of pixel, binning, cropping and upscaling. These results are impressive.

There's plenty of detail: good sharpness, pleasing colors and wide dynamic range. When it comes to video capture, the 51 falls behind the competition resolution is capped at 1080p and there's no support for 60fps shooting videos from the main camera look washed out with subpar dynamic range and too much sharpening. We like the colors better with the ultra-wide cams videos. However, these still aren't great and there is no stabilization either electronic or optical available on either camera. So that's the Samsung Galaxy a 31.

You get a nice AMOLED display a solid Samsung design, impressive battery life and nice camera quality during the day, especially from the selfie cam all for around 220 bucks. However, there are some ways in which the a31 falls short. The chipset is outclassed by most competitors and the cameras aren't very good at night. I'm, not sure why there's no night mode supported here like most of Samsung's, other phones and the video recording is pretty limited with no 4k or stabilization at all. These in themselves aren't deal-breakers, not everyone needs these features, but you can find devices that improve on these things for the same money or just a bit more, even within Samsung's own mid-range lineup.

Because of that, the Galaxy, a 31 is tough to recommend thanks for watching guys, stay safe and see you on the next one.
