MOTO G31 Review And Unboxing 2021
Moto G31 Phone Review (Source:Google) |
Remember,
Redmi Note 10 was the one that launched before with such a price & this is
the same. But now the Redmi Note 10’s price is around Rs 187.00 $ or more as Xiaomi
increased it.
What is the price of MOTO G31?:
This
is the cheapest AMOLED smartphone at Rs 160.35 $. Let’s quickly unbox it Alright,
the box is proper now as it used to open in another way before.“Brilliant
16.26cm OLED Display”.
Let’s
see how brilliant it looks! But we’ll keep the phone aside. It comes with a
case & what else is there in the box? There’s a 20W charger and I like
this.
That’s
why I said it’s interesting Because it’s launched globally with a 10W charging.
While in Asia, it comes with a 20W charger. So that’s a very good Motorola.
There’s
also a USB to USB Type C cable. There’s nothing more, so let’s keep this all
aside.
Keep with us we will do the Moto G31 phone Drop test.
Let’s look at the phone. We’ll peel off the screen cover & take
out the case too. We’ll do its drop test later. Look at that texture There’s a
unique texture on the back.
I
like it There’s a rear-mounted fingerprint
sensor that has a Motorola logo on it. You can see that In-Hand Feel - A side-mounted fingerprint would’ve been good but it’s ok
as this phone feels light & compact in the hand.
What is the weight of Motorola g31?:
My
hands are slightly big but still, this phone isn’t very big. It has a very nice
& good in-hand feel & it must be around 175-180g in weight. Let’s test.
This is 180.6g, so there’s a 2-3g difference.
But
yes, I’d say it’s on the lighter side. The one-hand operation will be much easier
on this. And we’ll do its drop test so do wait for it to display - I really want
to see & check its AMOLED display’s quality.
It’s
impressive! Seriously, look at the blacks I don’t how it’ll look from the
cameras but it’s quite impressive, to be honest.
The
blacks are clear blacks and the brightness is very good too. It has a 700
Nits peak brightness which is very good along with its PPI (Pixel Per Inch) is
also high at 409ppi.
If
you look at the bezels, the upper, side bezels & chin are average-sized. There’s
1 more good thing, the centre punch hole has a small size. Display I’ll
seriously give it full marks looking at the Rs 160.35$ price point.
What is the camera specification of G31?:
Multimedia
- It’s very good! The audio quality is loud and has an above-average quality.
So multimedia viewing is going to be fun especially with that AMOLED screen.
Performance
It comes on Helio G85 SoC, I know it’s old, tried and tested but it’s a
capable SoC. We couldn’t find out the AnTuTu scores as the GPU scores were
showing zero & we tried it multiple times But this chipset’s AnTuTu scores
are between 2.10-2.20L,
which
is respectable as it shows on paper because when we were playing games, we
played BGMI on HD-High settings and there were no frame drops.
It
had smooth gameplay. So it was fun to play on a good display with good audio
with no frame rate drops.
G31 Battery Specification:

Battery
To supplement that, its battery is 5000mAh with a 20W charger so that’s good. If
it were 10W, then I thought it would’ve been very slow, so 20W is good and the 5000mAh will easily last you for 1.5-2 days.
What is the screen size of the Motorola G31?:
The display is 6.4” and it’s not as big as 6.7/6.8”. Its size is ideal so
the battery is very good too. But there’s 1 thing about performance, the
storage type here is eMCP and the RAM Type is LPDDR4X.
There
are 2 variants - 4GB+64GB (Rs 160.35 $) & 6GB+128GB(Rs 200.42 $).OS UI - I’ll
talk about the cameras but I like motorola in terms of UI.
Because
it has Stock Android in it plus you get many customization options through
UX. You can change icons, transition animations, etc.
Even
the icon shapes and colours can be changed. So you get the best of both
worlds. And the battery runs for so long because of Stock Android. This phone
comes with Android 11 out of the box and it’s going to get the Android 12
& 13 updates soon.
What are the Extra features of the G31 phone?:
This is a Rs 13K phone & it has some flagship-level features like the
Think Shield security. It’s kind of an extra layer of security just to keep
your data safe!
Connectivity: It comes with Dual Band WiFi, there’s 2x2 MIMO(network connectivity will be
better and stable). There’s Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and it’s a 4G
chipset. It has Dual 4G VoLTE & WiFi calling support so no problems there.
Sensors
- All sensors are present on this phone including a rear-mounted fingerprint
sensor and face unlock that work well.
Extra
Features - There’s Widevine L1 support along with Camera2Api support. And
there’s a notification light After a long time I’ve seen a notification light.
There’s
also FM Radio & it has a water repellant design as it has an IPX2
certification. Ports and Buttons - Generally the Rs 160-180 $ phones don’t have
a noise-cancelling microphone.
There’s
1 microphone included on this phone & there’s a 3.5mm jack above. On the
right, there’s a power on/off button, a volume rocker above it & a
dedicated assistant button on the top. There’s a USB Type C speaker grill and microphone.
On
the left, the sim card slot is a hybrid slot. So you can use 2 sims or 1 SD
card & a sim card.
Camera
- The camera setup is very good. Motorola says it’s quad function but it’s a
triple camera setup. It has a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide sensor and a 2MP macro sensor.

The
8MP(ultra wide) is not available on phones around Rs 10-13K, I don’t know why. I
love the ultrawide sensor on this phone as it doubles up as a depth sensor
and there’s no need for the extra 2MP depth sensor.
On
the front, you get a 13MP centre punch hole selfie sensor. I’m showing some
photos, the 50MP sensor clicks good rear photos but I was more impressed with
the selfie camera.
It’s
very good for a 13MP sensor and shows good skin tones. These are my first
impressions of the camera under normal conditions but I like them.
But I
like 1 thing more, the camera features. There’s a dual-camera mode, where you
can simultaneously use the primary/ultrawide sensor along with a selfie sensor.
There’s
a cinema graph feature, where you can move an object on the photo screen. It’s
an interesting combination of moving images.
There’s
also spot colour, other Portrait modes etc. Overall, the camera setup is good And
you guys are waiting for the drop test
Drop
Test
It
jumps/bounces, but the case is very good and the build quality is good too. So
what do I think about this phone? 3-4 things really stand out.
Its
price is Rs 160.35 $. It has an OLED FHD plus display. The camera is good at this
price. And like all Motorola phones, its OS is stock Android plus
customizations which is good.
The
battery is big along with a 20W charging, unlike the internationally launched
10W charger. The thing I didn’t like is MCP.
A UFS
storage would’ve been better. And there’s no 5G chipset as well. But then the
price would rise too.
So overall, according to the price, my first impressions are good about the Motorola G31.
