Aimed at “tech-savvy young millennials and Gen Z“, the Galaxy M31 is the first 2020 model under the Galaxy M series. The huge battery is coupled with a 15W USB-C charger and can last up to 26 hours of video playback. For the main cameras, the 64MP is joined by 8MP ultra-wide, 5MP macro, and 5MP depth lenses. As surprising as that may seem, we were caught off guard with the 32MP selfie camera supporting 4K video recording! This is a first for a mid-range phone, especially for one that costs under around P11K only (before taxes). At 6.4″, the FHD+ Super AMOLED of Galaxy M31 is capable of FHD playback when streaming on Netflix, Amazon, among other streaming services. All thanks to the Widevine L1 support. 

Samsung Galaxy M31’s colors come in Ocean Blue and Space Black.
