Samsung Galaxy M31

Advantages: Great phone for the money

Disadvantages: Samsung pay does not work only google pay

Comment:

Advantages: -There are no problems with the connection quality, comparable to the previous Samsung J5 (2016). -Screen - good color rendering, in the summer sun visibility remains acceptable. Large application icons, it is possible to reduce them. -Sound - the external speaker is loud, lacks bass, but it's hard to expect more from such a compact size. Conversational speaker accurately conveys the interlocutor's speech, the volume margin is quite hefty. When talking, I use 20-25 percent of the face value. The microphone is no problem. -Processor / RAM - there are friezes in toys, in other applications I did not notice this. I don't play complex games, for communication, simple games in transport on the way to work, navigation, the Internet, movies and music, the performance and free RAM are quite enough. In the normal state, 2.4-3.2 GB of RAM is free. -Battery - the documentation mentions a volume of 5830 mAh. The capacity corresponds, as seen in the photo. The duration of the screen is 10-11 hours. I have enough for 2.5 days, a day longer than the previous one. The working time for each is individual, depends not only on the time of use, but as I understand it, also on the settings,it is possible to limit the operation of selected applications in the background. During the night (9 hours) in standby mode, the charge decreased by 3 percent, the included AOD for the same 9 hours reduced the battery by 9-10%. -AOD - Always On Display is an interesting function, much more informative than the LED "indicator of missed calls", it displays the time, battery level, icons of missed events or their full text notifications (this choice is hidden somewhere in the settings). -Geolocation is recognized quickly. - The camera is absolutely ordinary, don't expect the quality of SLR cameras from it. Capturing a memorable moment, throwing a photo of a document, and other household needs can be easily handled. -The proximity sensor responds clearly. -Unexpectedly I liked the built-in browser from Samsung. True, to configure it, for some reason, you need to go through the phone menu to "Applications".

Disadvantages: -The battery is not removable. -No metal "stiffening rib" - it is dangerous to carry it in a jeans pocket, you can damage the display. -The display is slightly skewed. From the protective glass to the edge of the bumper 2 millimeters - looks scanty and pathetic. -Difficult with protective glasses and covers. I put the glass from the A50, it fit well. -As always, a bunch of preinstalled software, now, according to the law, Russian has been added.

Comment: - I'm happy with the phone. A great device for everyday use. For game lovers, most likely it is not interesting, but it fulfills all other functions by 102%. -Moved to this unit after Samsung J5 (2016). The software has become much faster to move, the operating time is longer. The settings have become somewhat different. I barely found where the display of the percentage of charging in the status bar and the display of events in the expanded form on the lock screen turns on. The "proximity" sensor, which is triggered during a call, is most likely a capacitive one, since it reacts only to the body. Accordingly, if the ear does not touch the screen in the area of ​​the earpiece, false alarms are possible when touched with the cheek or fingers. The battery was trained a month ago as prescribed 3 times, from full charge to full discharge. I won't complain, my battery matches the specifications. Charged after disconnecting the phone due to a complete discharge. By the way, when displaying 100% on the phone for another 20 minutes, the battery took charge with small currents, this was clearly visible on the ammeter. Now, complementing the review, I can say that I am very pleased with the phone. I didn't expect much, but everything that was required was implemented soundly in it!

Advantages: 6000 mAh battery, design

Disadvantages: Where is the case or headphones mm ??

Comment: Hello dear visitors of this site. I decided to buy a Samsung galaxy M31 phone to replace the old asus zenphone 5. The result met all my expectations, the battery is simply gorgeous, it holds the charge with a bang, of course it slips in my hand, but the cover has already been discharged from the alik. Well, in general, I am satisfied with the purchase, the headphones squeezed this minus. And Samsung is a reliable company.

Advantages: The main advantage is the 6000mAh battery. This is generally guaranteed 24h without charge. Nice appearance, nothing repulsive for a state employee. Big screen and plus and minus below: you can make a normal keyboard, the size is adjustable. Typing is convenient (although it was more convenient on the old Honor7, precisely in terms of the keyboard display). The plastic glossy cover is rather a plus, I didn't want glass that could break, better scratches. Moreover, I immediately ordered a cover. Updates and available service from Samsung - as a rule, a number of Chinese competitors forget about updates immediately after the sale. Availability of accessories for Ali. 128GB memory and 6GB operative - just what you need for quiet work for at least 2 years without hanging. Budget-worthy camera Sim + sim + card slot. Take the card, class 10 not lower! Price! Unlike budget Chinese, there is good translation everywhere. Excellent speaker for conversation and speakerphone! The microphone is clear.The connection keeps well, better than the samsung j5 of the wife.

Disadvantages: Screen: ideally less by 10mm, you have to take it in the other hand. You get used to it. Also, the color rendition itself or the depth seemed lower. You will notice this if you have previously used the S or iphone versions or other flagship brands. You get used to it, not critical. Do not expect much magic from the camera, although it is at the level! here is the isocell camera matrix, which is used in inexpensive samsung smartphones. For comparison, Honor 20, iphone12 is CMOS, this technology is old and proven, it is also used in DSLRs. Because of the large screen, it sits faster In the kit there is no cover and film, the typeC wire is hard, take the second one in stock Screenshot strictly by pressing power + sound down, if you want otherwise, put third-party applications Weak video proc.: 3 cores Basic theme with miserable cubes, replaced screensavers, with a photo.

Comment: I chose the phone for practical reasons: the price is up to 26 thousand, the body is not glass, the operational one is from 6GB, the inside is from 64, the battery is from 4500mAh, the camera and a decent brand are norms, the guarantee of corrections, etc. I expected a little more from the screen, the camera. But it is not critical, it will hardly be noticeable on social networks and the Internet. The battery just didn’t surprise me, so I assumed you need to include an adapter. Brightness adjustment and average savings. On Honor 7 and Samsung j5, I had enough for 7-10 hours. 1 time freezes for 5 seconds, when during a call the subscriber lost connection and could not disconnect. Otherwise, it works quickly, the response is no problem. A huge bunch of settings: you can remove animations, notifications, move the keyboard apart, adapt the value of the screen, a lot to fit yourself. As well as I did on the main screen myself. Unnecessary programs, applications and others can either be disabled or removed. Free 100GB of memory is enough for your eyes. Battery norms, depending on what settings! Especially appreciated by those who sit with the phone a lot and understand what it means to constantly recharge and tinker with the wires, who broke or erased the micro or typeC inputs from this. The application contains screenshots of the work table, power settings, a report of consumption per day. I also attached a Nillkin case, available in the Russian Federation and aliexpress (500-600 r). Attached a photo, took it during the day, average illumination. On the key you can distinguish dust particles, this is normal, it is difficult to see them with the naked eye in 64MP mode. Angel one 64 and one FHD In general, I recommend the device is very decent, a workhorse, and the option to do without additional charges.

Bright screen. Capacious battery. Fast interface. Nice camera. Everywhere referred to as a "niche" product. I am still happy to live in this niche.

I really liked it. It works quickly, the screen is very bright and can be seen well in the sun. All the settings that are needed for the screen and for using the smartphone in general - everything is there. It is not buggy, it works quietly with several open applications. In a separate window, you can watch videos, for example, and browse the Internet in parallel. Draws hard games, I play without brakes. The smartphone is great!

Advantages: Excellent Amoled display, 6000 Mah battery, good camera, NFC.

Comment: I bought the phone for my wife. An excellent device for everyday use, holds a charge for a long time, a good camera, a gorgeous display.

Advantages: Price-quality ratio. Screen, camera, memory.

Comment: I use my phone every day. I'm happy with everything. I can recommend for purchase

Advantages: A practical device that meets the requirements of the time. No frills, no speech recognition like in the Note. I did not play with fingerprints. After transferring the data, the flash is occupied by 20.5GB out of 128. RAM is occupied by about 3GB. I put a dark theme, now it seems or not, but the display is very contrasty and the brightness control is almost at a minimum. I am satisfied with the device itself. But the software is in trouble.

Disadvantages: Preinstalled applications from Russian developers have appeared. I'm not against our developers, but someone's wise head decided that Zen, Yandex, and mail.ru applications cannot be deleted. For example, I do not have an account. records on mail.ru. The other two are also unnecessary. These programs use memory and there is nothing you can do about them. And I paid the money for the device. Somehow not very reasonable and not human.

Comment: Who needs an email client, the Samsung store calls it Samsung Email, it is universal.

Advantages: The battery, the size of RAM and ROM, a decent camera, a good screen, smart enough, there is a mini jack for headphones.

Disadvantages: found nothing annoying

Comment: Not a fan of top smartphones. Abstract scoring in abstract tests is not fun. I'm not fond of games, a smartphone is a working tool, so for me the main parameters are battery life, memory size, high-quality screen. I believe that a smartphone should fulfill its functions, and not serve as a fetish for its owner. The M31 is a fairly balanced machine for relatively reasonable money. The headphone jack is a nice bonus. About $ 300 for 3 years (average battery life) of very active use - reasonable price. Recommend.
