| Plastoglass Build |
After unboxing the first thing that one would notice is M31S is its Striking Design.The Mirage Blue/Black color option available gives its it a premium and stunning look.This is a kind of Plastoglass build( Plastic yet feels glassy).Samsung has taken care of its aesthetic design with metallic sheen with gradient finish of silver & black/blue.
Samsung accommodates the fingerprint sensor on the power button which is quite fast than in-display & snappier rear-mounted sensor.We get a clear back panel with Quad Camera Module .
The M31s is quite thick at 9.3mm, but that should be an acceptable price to pay for the additional battery capacity. It’s not particularly light either. The Galaxy M31s weighs more than 200 grams but even distribution ensures that it doesn’t feel bulky (at all). Overall, design-wise the Galaxy M31s is one of the better-looking phones that you will find under Rs 20,000 segment.

For daily needs, good quality screen is a must but recently most brands have stopped providing amoled display for cost-cutting. High refresh rate IPS might be good for hardcore users .But for average people amoled is a must as it enhances the viewing the experience for long hours. For Video consumption such as from Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Youtube etc. Amoled is soothing for eyes.
Hence being more practical,the Galaxy M31s has a 6.5-inch screen with Full HD+ resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and 20:9 aspect ratio.
Outdoor brightness isn’t stellar but the screen was still legible outdoors.Color shifting is not an issue here. Samsung has shielded the display with GorillaGlass 3.
