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 F12

The Samsung Galaxy F12 is a new budget smartphone that starts from ₹10,999. It boasts a unique textured back with a wave-like pattern, setting it apart from other smartphones in its price range. The device features a 6.5-inch HD+ 90Hz LCD display, which provides punchy colors and a sharp viewing experience. The rear camera setup consists of a 48MP primary sensor, 5MP ultra-wide sensor, 2MP depth sensor, and 2MP macro sensor, offering versatility in capturing various scenes. However, there's no video stabilization, and video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps. The phone runs on the Exynos 850 chipset with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, providing a smooth performance. It also features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C port, and a headphone jack. The device ships with Android 11 and One UI Core 3.1, which is expected to receive updates for a longer period. The Galaxy F12's battery is a 6000mAh unit that should provide a long-lasting experience. However, it only supports 15W charging, which takes around three hours to fully charge the device. Despite this, the phone's pricing seems competitive, and Samsung has done a decent job of packing in features without breaking the bank. Overall, the Galaxy F12 appears to be another solid addition to Samsung's lineup of budget smartphones, offering a feature-rich experience at an affordable price point.
