Hey guys its Andy from Refit lives and welcome to yet another video today, we're going to be reviewing the Samsung Galaxy 831. So before we get started, please do make sure to hit that subscribe button and also turn on notifications for more videos like this now, let's begin the galaxy a 31 builds on his predecessors, design with slightly more angular edges and a back prism pattern. That's inverted compared to the 30 s is ever so slightly taller owing to the new aspect ratio, but also a bit narrow, which makes it better in terms of handling and overall I. Quite like this edgier design. It is heavier, though, and also take a row into the larger battery under the hood which we shall discuss later, but that doesn't take away from the good handling. The build quality is great and yes, it still uses plastic at the back, but is designed to look like glass which Samsung calls glass stick, while it definitely isn't as premium feeling as glass, at least in terms of looks.
It is quite up there and can fool non-seasoned people into thinking. That is glass, at least it doesn't look or feel like the cheap plastic that we see on their M series devices, there's a bundle, CPU case, which you can use to protect the back panel from getting scratches, but on the white variant. It's a bit more difficult to see anyway, and speaking of which this is the prism crush white. While you can also get it in blue and black colors, all of which exhibit this prism like rainbow effect at certain angles. Along with the stripe diagonal.
Lower half I, like the white best followed by the blue, but black is probably the stealthiest and most safe in terms of like in terms of display. You get a 1080p Plus panel, which is noticeable bump in terms of sharpness compared to the outgoing, a 30s which had a 720p panel. The screen size stays the same, however, at 6 point 4 inches, but it is a taller 20s to 9 aspect ratios, which is also why the phone is taller than the 30s. It's still a great display, thanks to the Super AMOLED panel, which provides great contrast and colors indoors, as well as out those and there's a notch in the form of the camera at the top center, which Samsung calls the infinity. U type of display the 2.5 D edges, which makes using the screen treat, and it's also supporting l1 wide Wi-Fi HD content streaming. The phone has an in display fingerprint scanner going to the Super AMOLED display and is secure, but not very fast, nor accurate.
The success rate of around 90% is still acceptable, but the scanner takes too long to again scanning and approve your finger. Hopefully, updates can help decrease this delay. In India, we get just one variant, which is a six plus 128 GB model, which also considering the price point of the piece 21 triple nine does a better job at justifying the price, then the MediaTek hello p65 chipset can performance is fairly good overall and even for gaming, but you did lag at times and also hang before resuming again, especially when you're using multiple apps at once, including the camera. It runs Android, ten out of the box with 1 UI 2.0, when the UI is pretty good overall and user-friendly, but there are few preloaded apps, which I didn't expect on a Samsung device. You also get to NATO SIM slots and a dedicated micro SD card slot.
In terms of cameras, you get a quad camera setup that comprises a primary 48 maps, pixel sensor with f/2 aperture and one by 2.0 in sensor size. While you get an ultra wide-angle 8 megapixel F, 2.2 camera and 2 5 megapixel sensors, out of which one is a macro sensor and the other is a depth sensor at the front. You also get two 20?mm pixel F 2.2 camera. So all the camera quality seems good and definitely better than its predecessor, but I'm not sure if I can classify it as being one of the best in the category. Here are some samples that'll help.
You understand what you can expect from the cameras, but will be doing a full in depth. Camera review soon as well. So do stay tuned for that under the hood. Is a 5000 mAh battery with charges at a maximum power of 15 watt over the type C port and such a charge is also included in the Box. This is powered by a P 65 chipsets, and we saw that in terms of efficiency, it seems better than Samsung's Enos chipsets and while we did get the screen on time of over 7 hours on a single charge- and sometimes you could probably even touch it, it seems lesser than what other brands could achieve with similar internals.
The Samsung needs to optimize it a bit in terms of charging time. We didn't do an exact charging test, but it took roughly two to two and half hours for a full charge overall, I quite liked the galaxy, a 31 as a device, it's great in terms of design. It has a beautiful display. It has pretty good camera output and has decent battery life as well, but I can't help but not address the elephant in the room which in this case is a Samsung Galaxy m31. That is available at a price point of rupees 16, triple 9 for the 6 plus 64 model, and it gives you better battery life.
It gives you a 64 mega pixel camera instead of a 48, my pixel one at the back, and it also gives you a 32 mm pixel camera at the front. Instead of a 20 mm pixel camera at the front, the only place you're really losing out on is basically in terms of the design and the build quality we're. Definitely the a31 looks much better and also feels much better, but if design and ergonomics are not really your main factors when buying a smartphone, then the m31 will definitely be a better choice. Considering you're saving five thousand rupees by buying the base variant or even if you spend a thousand rupees extra, you get the same six plus 128gb config or even if you go for twenty thousand rupees, that a plus 128, GB variant, you're, still saving two thousand repeats and getting a lot more, except for the design and the overall economics.
