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 F13

Strengths

Good display
Long battery life
Impressive camera performance
Ad-free UI
Great battery charging time

Weaknesses

Underwhelming peak brightness
Slow ambient light sensor
Limited performance
No stabilization in video recording
Older Exynos 850 chipset

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 F13

The Samsung Galaxy F13 is a budget smartphone that competes in a crowded market with intense rivalry from other brands. Its design language is unmistakably Samsung, but the phone's plastic build and chunky size may be off-putting to some. The rear panel has a nice texture, making it easier to hold, while the front features a dewdrop notch and thick chin. The phone's 6.6-inch LCD display with full HD resolution and 60Hz refresh rate is a significant improvement over its predecessor, the F12. While the peak brightness is underwhelming, the colors and viewing angles are good. The device is powered by Samsung's Exynos 850 chipset, which may not be the strongest performer in this segment but handles occasional gaming fine. The camera setup includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor, 5-megapixel ultra-wide snapper, and 2-megapixel depth sensor. While the dynamic range is limited, photos are good enough for social media posts. The phone also features an 8-megapixel selfie camera with decent results but no autofocus. One of the standout features of the Galaxy F13 is its large 6000mAh battery, which provides easily two days of battery life even with heavy usage. While charging takes a bit over two hours, the phone's great battery life more than makes up for it. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy F13 is a solid budget smartphone with impressive battery life and an ad-free UI. Its onboard ultra-wide-angle camera is also a plus, making it a good buy for those on a tight budget.
