Samsung M31 Overview
Design
Samsung M31 doesn’t stray too far from the design language of previous M series phones and it looks like the M30s to be fair. The rectangular camera module has the camera arrangement in an inverted L-shape flanked by an oval-shaped fingerprint sensor.
M31 still uses the same plastic build which we see on most of the budget Samsung phones right now. Whereas, Â we get an infinity U display on the front.
Display
Upfront we get a 6.4 inches Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 3 Protection. It’s an FHD display (1080 x 2340 pixels) with 84.1% screen-to-body ratio. And, it is one of the best displays you could get for the price.
However, it is a 60Hz display and we all know that high refresh rate displays are the trend right now. But, other devices at this price tag also do not offer a high refresh rate display in Nepal. So, it’s fine for the moment.
Hardware
Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy M31 is powered by Exynos 9611 along with 6GBRAM and 64/128GB internal storage. Samsung M30s also uses the same chipset so it’s not an upgrade in terms of processor.
Exynos 9611 will provide you decent performance but the competition is tough as devices like Redmi Note 8 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro offer you top-notch performance with Helio G90T and Snapdragon 720G chipsets.
Camera
Samsung is using its own 64MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor on the Galaxy M31. It’s better than the 48MP ISOCELL Bright GM2 sensor used on the newly released Redmi Note 9 Pro.
Along with this, Samsung M31 boasts an impressive 8MP Ultrawideangle sensor, a 5MP depth sensor, and a 5MP macro camera.
On the front, Samsung M31 gets a massive 32MP selfie camera and it’s one the few devices that offers you a 4k video from the front camera in this price bracket.

Battery
Samsung has been pushing massive battery into their M series phones and the M31 provides you a mammoth 6000 mAh battery just like the M30s.
This can easily last you more than a day and a half at average usage. Along with it, you get a 15W fast charging which is not the fastest among budget phones but it’s good enough.
Moving on Samsung M31 runs on One UI Core 2.0 on top of Android 10. And, it is one of the better UI’s right now. It also gets a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type C port.
Samsung M31 Price in Nepal, Availability, and Impressions
Samsung Galaxy M31 feels like an iterative update of the M30s. There are not any significant upgrades except for the new camera module. But it is a good upgrade nonetheless.
Samsung M31 provides good design, best display, decent performance, and a good camera module for the price. It’s surely one of the best phones you could get.
However, it’s not the best performer or the best looking device under Rs. 30,000. Devices like Redmi Note 8 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro provide better performance and they also have more premium build than the M31.
Regarding availability, Samsung Galaxy M31 will come in two memory variants: 6/128GB (Rs. 30,999) and 8/128GB (Rs. 35,699). And, it is available at all the Samsung stores and retail stores since June 4.
