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.

Xiaomi Redmi A3

The Xiaomi Redmi A3 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers decent value for its price. The phone's design is modern with clean lines, but the camera bump may not appeal to everyone. The display is nice and the battery life is surprisingly good, lasting up to 3 days on a single charge. Performance-wise, the phone is suitable for casual users who only need it for basic tasks like calls, texts, browsing, and occasional social media use. It can handle some lighter games, but hardcore gaming enthusiasts may want to look elsewhere. The phone's RAM, storage, and processor are pretty basic, making it a no-frills champion. One of the notable improvements is the charging speed, which has been upgraded to 18W fast charging. This allows for faster charging times, making it convenient for users who prioritize battery life. Overall, the Redmi A3 is worth considering if you're on a tight budget and only need a phone for the essentials. However, it's not a powerhouse device that can handle demanding tasks or high-performance games. In summary, this phone gets the job done, but doesn't excel in any particular area. It earns a 6 out of 10 rating, making it a decent value play for those who don't need much from their smartphone.
