#samsung galaxy m31 hands-on

Samsung's mid-range M-series welcomes a new member in the Samsung Galaxy M31, whose biggest selling point is definitely its huge 6,000mAh battery. It's amazing that the Galaxy M31's form factor feels quite normal despite that huge battery. Taking a look at the internals, the Galaxy M31 is powered by an Exynos 9611 chipset with a Mali-G72 MP3 GPU plus 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Or perhaps it's the software experience you're after, as the Galaxy M31 is running One UI 2.0 on top of Android 10. For selfies, a single 32MP shooter.  You may check out some of our sample photos below: Here in the Philippines, the Samsung Galaxy M31 is priced at PHP13,990.
