Samsung Galaxy M31 with 6000mAh battery, 64MP quad-camera debuts in India

World's smartphone leader Samsung seems to be launching spree in India. After releasing two upper mid-range handsets --Galaxy A51, A71, the company has announced yet another mobile, the Galaxy M31 in the country.

The Galaxy M31 sports a 6.4-inch full HD+ super AMOLED with Infinity-U display design. With this, consumers will be able to enjoy viewing multimedia content with less obstruction. Also, it comes with Widevine L1 certification, meaning users can watch high-resolution videos on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and other streaming apps.

Inside, the device houses Samsung's in-house built Exynos 2.3Ghz Exynos 9611 octa-core processor backed by 6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB storage and Android 10-based One UI 2.
Like the predecessor, the highlight feature of the device is the battery capacity. It houses a massive 6,000mAh cell, which more than enough to last two full days under normal usage. The phone can deliver up to 26 hours of video playback, the company claims. Also, the device comes with Type C-based 15W charger in-box.
