Samsung's budget portfolio is powered by the well-known Galaxy A and M series. The company has been regularly updating its offerings in the mid-range segments to provide consumers with the latest features.
The Samsung Galaxy A31 is the latest addition to the lineup and brings an AMOLED display, MediaTek chipset, and 48MP quad cameras.
Galaxy A31: specifications and features
The Samsung Galaxy A31 features a glass rear panel with the same prism pattern that we have seen on its predecessor, Galaxy A30s. The rear panel is clean, containing only a rectangular camera cutout at the top left.
The fingerprint sensor has been moved below the screen.
On the front, the Galaxy A31 has a 6,4-inch Full HD + Super AMOLED screen with a 2400 x 1080p resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, and a waterdrop notch at the top. The chin is very thick compared to the bezel on other sides.
Samsung is ditching its own Exynos chipset in favor of MediaTek Helio chipsets this time. The Galaxy A31 is powered by Helio P65 chipset, along with up to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage.
You can expand storage up to 512GB with the built-in microSD card slot. The device runs OneUI 2.0 based on Android 10 out under the hood.
In the camera department, Samsung has only added a 5MP macro sensor to the Galaxy M21 camera setup. This means you get a 48MP primary sensor (f/2.0), along with an 8MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens, 5MP (f/2.4) depth sensor, and 5MP (f/2.4) macro lens. There's also a 20MP (f/2.2) selfie sensor housed in the waterdrop notch at the top.
The Samsung Galaxy A31 comes equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery with 15 W fast charge. There is a 3,5mm audio jack, a port USB Type C and a dual hybrid SIM tray.

Samsung has yet to announce pricing and availability details for the Galaxy A31. It will be available in four color variants namely Prism Crush Black, Prism Crush Blue, Prism Crush Red, Prism Crush White.
