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

Samsung Galaxy A04e

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 A04e

The Samsung Galaxy A04e is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers decent performance and features at an affordable price. The device is made of plastic, except for the glass display, which is typical of its segment. However, I appreciate the unique wavy design on the back, which makes up for the glossy finish. Under the hood, the phone is powered by a Mediatek Helio P35 processor and 3GB of RAM. While it's not the most powerful combination, it should handle basic tasks like phone calls, text messages, watching videos, and occasional social media use without any issues. However, heavy users may experience some slowdowns. The camera department is another highlight of this device. It features a dual-camera setup with additional modes like Pro mode, Panorama, food mode, and hyperlapse. While not the most advanced cameras, they're decent for their price point. Other notable features include a 5,000mAh battery, which should provide generous battery life, Android 12 with Samsung's skin laid over, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Unfortunately, it lacks NFC, making mobile contactless payments impossible. In terms of hardware, the phone is relatively low-end, but its price point makes up for that. If you're looking for a reliable device from a reputable brand without breaking the bank, the Samsung Galaxy A04e might be worth considering.
