Samsung Galaxy A31 (A315G) 64GB DS Black

Product Information

We don't know when the Galaxy A31 will be released, or where you'll be able to buy it. We've asked Samsung for further details, and we'll be sure to update this article when we learn more. The A31 has got the Android 11 update with One UI 3.1 at May, but it may vary at other regions around the world. Samsung and Microsoft Expand Strategic Partnership to Deliver Unified Experiences Across Mobile Devices". Samsung US Newsroom. 2019-08-07 . Retrieved 2020-08-29. Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Z Filp3 5G is rated as IPX8. IPX8 is based on test conditions for submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes. Not advised for beach or pool use. Not dust resistant. The phone's 6.4-inch, FHD Super AMOLED panel has a screen-to-body ratio of 84.9% and an aspect ratio of 20:9 to match that of other Samsung phones sold in 2020. An optical, under-display fingerprint reader replaces the rear-mounted one seen on the previous A30 models. [3]

Virtual Proximity Sensing : Sensing proximity information by using software without proximity sensor The Galaxy A31, like every other Galaxy phone that isn't a flagship, comes with a single speaker located at the bottom. The speaker never distorts and is loud enough when you're in a small room. But you may have to use it at maximum volume if you want it to be fully audible, something I had to do when listening to podcasts. Mid-range phones and big batteries are always a match made in heaven, and the same is true for the Galaxy A31. With light use that involves some browsing, watching a few YouTube videos, and replying to messages on WhatsApp on a Wi-Fi connection, the A31 can easily last for a day and a half before it needs to be charged again. With mobile data active for long hours, total endurance can be cut short to around a day, which is still impressive. With Music Share, you can stay connected to a Bluetooth speaker and let other devices play music on it by connecting to your phone instead of that Bluetooth speaker. The Galaxy A31 also comes with Samsung's Edge Screen and Edge Lightning features, which we don't often see on non-flagship Galaxy smartphones. Plenty of standard One UI 2.0 and Android 10 features are included as well, such as Link to Windows, Game Launcher, Dual Messenger, Secure Folder, Digital Wellbeing with Focus mode, themes support, One-handed mode, Samsung Pass, and Always On Display. The Samsung Galaxy A31 is a mid-range Android smartphone developed by Samsung Electronics as part of their 2020 A-series smartphone lineup. It was announced on March 24, 2020, and first released on April 27, 2020, as the successor to the Galaxy A30 and A30s.

Samsung Galaxy A31

Display Size: Measured diagonally, the screen size is 6.4" in the full rectangle and 6.2" with accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners and the camera cutout. The Super AMOLED panel on the Galaxy A31 also allows Samsung to include an in-display fingerprint scanner on the device, which is again something of a rarity in budget devices. The scanner is a bit on the slower side but I still found it better than the ultrasonic sensor that Samsung uses on its flagship Galaxy S and Note devices. Camera The weak chipset also means that the Galaxy A31 misses out on a number of features that are commonplace in other devices in this price range. This includes no 4K video recording, no EIS, no Night mode, average networking performance, and more. I am not sure as to why Samsung went with the Helio P65 chip on the Galaxy A31 and it is easily the weakest point of this device.

Retrieved 2020-08-29.We've been spending a lot of time deep-diving into Samsung's newly-refresh Galaxy A lineup lately. Between all the new models joining it and the Korean giant's sprawling Galaxy M family, we honestly think some devices, like the A31 have ended-up on the bad side of market segmentation.
