It is beyond me why so many phone manufacturers choose to ignore the importance of sound quality in phones, specifically using stereo speakers. For older users, sound can be especially important to choose a phone. I personally will choose a stereo phone over 108 or even 64-megapixel cameras for anything costing over 200 dollars. There has been way too much emphasis put on cameras. Instead of cell phones that take pictures, smartphones have become miniature digital cameras that happen to make phone calls
Please stop saying that metal and glass backing for phones is somehow better. There is really NO case where glass is better. Plastic is the most durable, doesn't shatter, doesn't dent and is cheap. All of this aesthetically pleasing material is sitting under a case for most people anyway.
I hate it when they are like "uhhh u can find better for the same price or more" what? which phones can i find that are better for the same price? Edit: Not being sarcastic i genuinely want to know
I think redmi note 9 pro is real deal, snapdragon 720 consumes less energy with higher performance than mediatek or exynos chipsets, on the other hand a31 looks better and has beautiful display coz of amoled screen
The processor P65 is actually pretty good. It has modern Arm Cortex-A55 and Arm Cortex-A75 processing cores, which is way better than Exynos 9611 (A51). Not only the battery is bigger, but also the processor is more efficient. So, it is actually a very good question: why would you spend more for A51? Beacuse of better graphic card performance? Not worth it.
Just got this phone. Been liking it so far. My only annoying features would be the time takennto register my finger prints. Had to try 3 to 4 times before it finally registered my fingerprints. I'm liking the phone a lot so far.
Hi therefrom Australia GSMArena i was wondering if you would be able to suggest the best value phone ? I"m looking for a water/shock proof outdoors seafaring type of model but dont want to spend to much ---even a refurbished one may work ?? If you have any suggestions id be gratefull for your support - . Ta Jay
Luis Miguel López honestly, it’s been amazing. After a week, I had understood most of the layout and gotten used to the settings. During the week I’m at school most of the time so from Monday to Friday with minimal use (2-3 hrs a day) I charge it only 1 or 2 times and on holidays or during weekends it lasts me 2-3 days. If you have used Samsung before, you’d find it simple as it’s just another galaxy phone. Performance wise, it’s actually not bad. If you’ve used phones such as iPhone 11 or the s20 you may notice a slight performance difference but that’s only if you notice all the small bugs, errors, etc. if your looking for a phone which can get the job done and has awesome battery with and average performance, the A31 is perfect for you. Hope this helped and if there’s more you want to know more, please reply I’d be happy to help.
@@theinfamousss thank you very much, really appreciate it. I don't usually play any games on my phones, my main uses are web browsing, mail, Google docs and your typical social media. I'm after long battery life and, I admit it, a nice screen 😁. Of course I want it to perform well with all those tasks. I've been going crazy comparing Moto g8 power, Galaxy A21s and this one, and all of them have one issue or another. Anyways, knowing how it performs from "a real user" in a real life usage pattern is, I think, all I needed. Oh, you won't be using any kind of wearable, Mi Fit or something like that by any chance? Thanks again for your time. 👍
Luis Miguel López I play some games occasionally and still enjoy good battery. The screen is honestly incredible. I don’t think I can go back to smaller screens anymore after the A31. It’s awesome. A phone without issues is something we can only wish for, it’s the truth. No I don’t use any wearables, etc. it’s a good phone especially if you only use it for causal browsing and media.
@@theinfamousss my finger hovering over the "add to cart" button on Amazon...😂 I only asked the wearables thing cause it looks like the A21s has some bluetooth connectivity issues with them. Haven't read anything about that with the A31 tho, so... You've been really kind, thanks one more time. 👍👍👍😊
Thank you for the review I really don't mind the slightly slow cpu As long as it can handle low cpu usage games or apps then I am okay with the phone and the camera is fine for me ... I just needed something for studying and a little of gaming.... may I know if anyone who bought the phone experiencing heating issues or anything since I already ordered the phone so I am waiting for a new and hopefully good phone
No, I come from a huawei Y9 2019 with a kirin 710 and even that supported Qualcomm Aptx but this cellphone wich is newer don't support it, anyway the cameras and display is x10 times better
Attention Everyone: Samsung Has Now Released A Software Update For The A31 To Upgrade From One UI 2.5 To One UI 3.0 (Android 11) So Have Fun With The New Update For Those Who Haven’t Upgraded To Android 11
Same problem with me... the 4gb ram is fine.. you don't need 6gb... it won't make any difference Unlocked phones is usable with all GSM Carriers so boost mobile will work as long as the sim is gsm
I've read lots of bad reviews saying they've had major issues with bugs (especially the camera not working and having to restart the phone, to get it going again, the lock screen not unlocking, and the phone just inexplicably shutting down for hours at a time). Have you or anyone else who reads this who has one had any of these issues?
Damn, the 1080p video looks like an upscale 720p video, and it have no stabilization, no need to recommend this device to anyone, glad GSMArena feel the same
You're my favorite review channel. Straight to the point, no bullshit or gimmicks, clear and useful information.
A tip : Turn off 'Always on display' option to stop battery draining because it drains the battery much
holy shit that was a beautiful powerwolf t-shirt

Am I the only one who heard him say "the galaxy a51"?
Actually no
I heard it too
Lol he actually did say a51
Your the only ones
Mee too.
Dear Sir
I would like to say thank you for your way of review...
Hats off you
Good job......

Yes, in louder environment you need good and loud speakers, preferably stereo.
1:45 Its Galaxy A31*
Yeah but he might be talking about A51 at that point 😂
There was nothing false there right?😂
@@rajkoradia7747 well there's that too 😅
He said it looks like the A51 clean yr ears
2:20 that's the weirdest SIM tray design i've ever seen
A40 had so though it has no practical reason. Probably, it's for design limitations.
Yes, in SEA it's 3 slot
Maybe with that can get dual SIM not hybrid
Strange!!!
some has 2 SIM weird indeed
gets dual sim support in countries like India

Until you take your phone out of the case for 5 minutes and it scratches
My dad's A33 back get dirty easily and I tried cleaning them off but it won't come out
glass doesn't press in like plastic and samsung plastic frames bend much easier than metal ones
5:20 you guys just added video camera review of A51 here, maybe because the cameras in both are identical??
thank you gsmarena for the review.
I have Samsung A31 6/128GB good performance 🖒
Me too it's so good

The battery is superbbb!!!!
Been using iPhone for 10yrs and just bought the A31. Hope it won’t be a hard swap.
How did it go after 3 weeks? Thinking about getting this one, and I prefer to read honest, unbiased users' oppinions.

does the a31 have gorilla glass and a screen protector? I am on a budget but want good glass and a protector as I am not good installing them. thanks

Why you mentioned that we can take only 8 or 12 Mp selfie from the front camera. Isn't it 20 Mp? Besides it has only one front camera

You'll get it bro...they heard your writting voice or whatever it's called.💪

I thought I was the only one who heard him
Just bought mine last February 15,2021. 6/128 variant.
Pls do a Full Review of the Honor 9X cuz uve all done the 9x Pro
The M21 is the cheapest Samsung phone with AMOLED display and Exynos 9611 processor same as A51 and a 6000mAh battery.
M series are mostly india exclusive.
Where can i find the 6gb version, only 4gb, aside from finding the 6gb in other countries.
Also would an unlocked work for boost mobile?
Same problem with me... the 4gb ram is fine.. you don't need 6gb... it won't make any difference

Why Media Tek
5000 mah battery is good and all, but phones with that size battery should have a more powerful fast charger (at least 30w)
You are right but it would make the price a bit higher
