Samsung Galaxy M31 is a good device but has some bugs<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Why I choose Samsung Galaxy M31?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have never been a fan of Samsung<\/a> in my life. But this time in March when I was looking for a smartphone I ended up buying Samsung Galaxy M31. Let me give you my reasons for buying this device. 185g of weight <\/strong>and other competitors<\/a> weighed almost 200g. I like lightweight smartphones<\/a>. The next reason was display. Smartphones are in a fashion of increasing the display size, but this device was just 6.4 <\/strong>and I liked that. Another big hit was OneUI. I just love the OneUI<\/a><\/strong> experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I Bought a new Smartphone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I bought the device <\/strong>in my mind I played a gamble. My worst fear was that it will lag<\/strong>. I don’t say that I am a pro user or something like that. But I can make smartphones hot <\/strong>like really hot. My previous device was <\/strong>Honor 7x<\/strong> <\/a>and that was an awesome device but I ended up destroying it completely. Due to my usage, the battery wore out in two and a half years<\/strong>. That was a pretty long lifetime, Good work Huawei. Honor 7x started to lag<\/strong> too much and the processor was much outdated and I am just taking off with my career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is Performance and Battery Life? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Samsung Galaxy M31 is powered by Exynos 9611<\/a><\/strong> which is pretty close to Qualcomm<\/a> Snapdragon 730G<\/a> <\/strong>in terms of performance. In terms of performance, I played Call of Duty at highest graphic settings and no lag or frame drops were observed. Exception when I was multitasking like music on the loudspeaker and messaging bubbles<\/strong>. In that situation, I noticed a minor lag. But that is not a big issue. If you turn on Gaming mode you will see a boost in the performance. The battery is good, I played 2hrs of Game on loudspeaker every day and other usual stuff. The device could easily give me one and half-day battery<\/a> life. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camera<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The camera<\/a> is good<\/strong>, especially in daylight. It can record 4K on both front end and rear. That helps really. About the Night shots. The front camera<\/a> smooths out my skin color <\/strong>every time I click a selfie. I can’t understand whether it is smoothing or it just can’t take night shots well. Though I never tried Night mode on the front camera. The night mode on the rear camera is pretty good. It adds little more light and detail.<\/strong> That helps make an impression among friends.
Apart from that no complaints. The camera is quite good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bloatware can be a real pain especially if you don’t use them. My Galaxy is the one that I hate the most.<\/strong> Others I can find a use for them. But My Galaxy it hurts. Apart from that OneUI is great. The AMOLED<\/strong><\/a> display sometimes makes me feel I am using a flagship<\/strong>. The design of the device is also not bad. I like it, I mean a shiny black back panel. Though I prefer matte finishes. But it still looks stunning<\/strong>. The back panel does catch fingerprints.<\/strong> Overall the device is fast and efficient. For the animations, you need to turn on developer mode to increase the speed of animations <\/strong>or you can just turn them off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time For Bugs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Two bugs that I noticed and are expected to be fixed with the next update are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
