Samsung Galaxy A31 price in Malaysia starts from RM589, putting it in the budget bracket alongside phones running similar mid-range hardware. Inside is a Mediatek Helio P65 chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, plus a microSD slot if you need more room. The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen runs at 1080 x 2400 resolution, which is sharp enough for video and browsing, and colours pop the way AMOLED panels tend to do.

On the back sits a quad camera array: a 48MP main lens, an 8MP ultrawide, plus macro and depth sensors for portrait shots. The 20MP front camera handles selfies. Battery capacity is 5000mAh with 15W charging, so it should comfortably last a full day of moderate use, though the charging speed isn't fast by current standards.

It runs Android 10 with One UI 2.0 on top, and comes with an under-display fingerprint sensor, NFC, and a 3.5mm jack, features that aren't always guaranteed at this price point. It weighs 185g and is available in four Prism Crush colour options.
