I had this phone for 1 year and could say it has the battery of a tablet. I was watching movies all day and at the end of the day, was hitting more than 8 hours screen on time.

I use to go out and never would come back with no battery. I always still had 10-20% left. Also, the standby time was insane. I left it overnight and it only drained 1-2%.

      Werner, 22 Feb 2022What phone is best to use? Huawei P30 lite or Samsung A31? According to the chip and camera. I... moreu mean p30 lite new addition right?

      according to chip,
      since you're not a gaming person, performance is not a big issue, any two is ok.

      but for camera, p30 lite slightly better, especially in low light (its larger aperture than a31)
      if you take this a31 and go for a night shot, hahaha you will cry. many noise here and there. I know, bcoz I have a31 at mine.

      its up to you which one you want to choose. if me, ill choose huawei
      for its camera.

            After over 1 year of using two A31 phones, I can say this is a great model. Quite fast for typical apps, good display and cameras, excellent battery life and no issues. As a past user of S and J series phones, I feel it was a good balance between price and features.

                  The Galaxy A33 5G is out,would be cautious about update my phone from now on,as the practice goes I believe Samsung,just like the other OEMs do,would release an update be it security or Android 12 with some performance limiting features,just for one to upgrade to the the newer phones,c'mon is an industry known practice already.

                          Got the phone in december of 2020. There was an update that meant I couldn't use the wifi from my college residences on it. Complained to Samsung who played innocent. They were obviously aware of the issue since they sorted it after another update in March of that year. The camera needs some serious development on the software side of things, low light and macro are terrible, and it has a beautification filter that you can't turn off. The lock screen has a yellow hue to it, the face recognition is not great, the fingerprint reader is slow, GPS is terrible, the multitask is more annoying than useful. I will say that apart from those things it's fine, battery life is good, most games seem to run OK, UI is OK. Overall, go for something else if you're looking in this price range.

                            Hi my Samsung A31 is stuck on November security patch. Is there anyone else in South Africa who also waits for security patch updates?

                              I bought this phone, it's good, because it's has 4 cameras, colorful SAmoled display, and features, but the disadvantage is the chipset is underwhelming gaming performance, if you are a gamer you can get much faster than the Helio P65 at this price point, and also the price isn't competitive, overall it's good and decent

                                Hi there I already updated to android 11 One UI 3.1 and using A31 since August 2021, after November security update phone is really slowed down but mine is 4/64GB version some lags occurred so wiped device to factory reset after that, now no any heating issues all bugs gone everything is ok and also some improved things here : Tested PUBG, COD, GOW4, installed some heavy apps, hd video files and tested heavily no lags on android 11 charging effectively faster than all, installing applications stabilized from play store, stock apps improved, camere is still awesome 48mpx no night mode but shots are super fine with 20mpx selfie, battery backup is really satisfying and now waiting for Android 12 it beats everything I need, I'm blessed.

                                  You must upgrade the information about the operative System Because the a31 can be upgrade to Android 11 and in a few months can be upgrade to Android 12

                                    loy, 12 Jan 2022I changed LCD 3 times which costs more than the price when I bought it. LCD is very sensitive ... moretotally agree. This is far from what I expected when I bought into the "Samsung" name. I have never had a good camera experience with it ..ever.. Pictures e very important to me and this phone has the worst camera I have ever had. One small drop, even with the ottterbox on it cracked the screen.
