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
Dear Sir I would like to say thank you for your way of review... Hats off you Good job......
thank you gsmarena for the review.

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

Yes, in louder environment you need good and loud speakers, preferably stereo.
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.
what game were you playing during this review?
This guy's voice is so soothing
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
Love the Powerwolf shirt!

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
Your Review Man Is great even your voice just like A boyband member it so cool
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.

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.

But mtk p65 is more optimized than exynos 9611, so despite benchmarks p65 has better performance than 9611

You only get this if you're a Samsung fan on a budget. Otherwise you can definitely get better deals elsewhere. Case in point, the Redmi Note 9S.
I've read lots of bad reviews (both from stores here in Australia and also on Amazon), 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). Has anyone who has one who reads this had any of these issues?
