Comparisons Featuring Motorola Moto G31
Short Review
- The Motorola Moto G31 features a sleek design with dimensions of 161.9 x 73.9 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 181 grams, available in Mineral Grey and Baby Blue colors.
- Its 6.4-inch AMOLED display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, providing sharp visuals at approximately 411 ppi, though it operates at a standard 60Hz refresh rate.
- Powered by the Mediatek MT6769Z Helio G85 chipset, it delivers reliable performance with an octa-core CPU and options for 64GB or 128GB of storage paired with 4GB or 6GB of RAM.
- The camera system includes a 50 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro lens, capable of recording video at 1080p@30fps, while the 13 MP front camera captures decent selfies.
- The 5000 mAh battery ensures extended usage, supporting 10W charging but lacking wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 11, it is upgradable to Android 12, providing a smooth software experience.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC, while the USB Type-C 2.0 port allows for versatile connections.
- The absence of 5G support may limit future-proofing, but it still meets basic connectivity needs.
- The lack of stereo speakers is notable, yet the inclusion of a headphone jack is a positive feature for audio enthusiasts.
- Overall, the Moto G31 offers a balanced combination of design, performance, and camera capabilities.
