Pros and Cons

Motorola Moto G31

Strengths

The highlight of the g31, the thing that sets it above and most of its pairs at this sort of price point is the oled display
You can get some really nice snaps if the conditions are perfect then you can get some really nice snaps
There's no need to worry about battery drain as the mediatek processor is quite energy efficient
The camera app is stuffed with features including that uh camera ai action and plenty of bonus camera modes
You can expect pretty basic results but more often than not, you'll probably end up chucking a lot of snaps away especially if you're trying to shoot 11 subject which moves around
The selfie shooter does a decent job for everyday shareable shots

Weaknesses

The camera tech is rather basic as is the performance so are you tempted by the moto g31 be greater your thoughts down in the comments below
No 5g support sadly here on the moto g31 not given at this price point by any means
Just 10 watt charging which isn't exactly particularly nippy
The camera struggles really badly in low light or tricky conditions so definitely use it sparingly
Video modes are limited to full hd footage with no way of bumping that up to 4k level unfortunately there's no 60fps option either
Camera results can be thrown off by sharp contrast, extreme brightness and also low light making you chuck a lot of snaps away

Motorola Moto G31

The Motorola Moto G31 is a budget-friendly smartphone that's making waves in the UK with its affordable price point of £169 for the 64GB base model. The standout feature of this device is its OLED display, boasting vibrant colors and deep blacks. However, its performance and camera capabilities may not be as impressive, leaving some to wonder if it's worth the investment. As we delve into the details, let's see how this phone stacks up against its competitors in the budget-friendly market.

Samsung Galaxy A04

The Samsung Galaxy A04 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers a large display, good battery life, and decent performance. The device features a 5,000mAh battery, which should last for a full day or even multiple days with moderate use. Unfortunately, the phone does not support 5G connectivity, limiting it to 4G LTE speeds. One of the standout features of the A04 is its display, which is only 720p but still looks crisp and clear on its large canvas. The device also gets very loud, making it suitable for watching videos or listening to music. However, the phone's performance is a major letdown, with slow processing speeds that make everyday tasks feel sluggish. The A04 also lacks features like NFC, which means users cannot take advantage of mobile contactless payments. The phone's build quality feels surprisingly premium, considering its low-end status. However, it does pick up fingerprints easily due to its glossy back. The device is made entirely of plastic, except for the glass display. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A04 may not be the most exciting or powerful smartphone on the market, but it could be a viable option for those who want a budget-friendly phone with a large display and good battery life. Its slow performance and lack of features are significant drawbacks, but its price point might make it an attractive choice for some users.
