Yesterday we found out that the Galaxy
M31s would be made official in India before the end of this month, with it
becoming available to buy sometime in August. Today a new report gives us the
exact date on which it will go on sale: August 6. That's when you'll find it at
Amazon and Samsung's own online store.
The price is still rumored to be around
INR 20,000, for what it's worth. Two new renders of the Galaxy M31s have also
been outed, and the one showing the back seems to have a weird omission: a
fingerprint sensor over there. This may mean that the M31s will come with an
in-display scanner, but nothing's certain yet.
On the other side, the centered hole-punch
for the selfie camera is obvious, replacing the waterdrop notch design that the
Galaxy M31 came with. The M31s is rumored to share the huge 6,000 mAh battery
of its predecessor, and sport a 64 MP main rear camera, joined in the L-shaped
island on the rear by an 8MP ultrawide, a 5 MP depth sensor, and a 5 MP macro
lens.
The phone will still be powered by
Samsung's Exynos 9611 SoC, coupled with 6GB of RAM in one version (though there
will be additional options). The base model should get 64GB of storage,
expandable via microSD. The M31s will run Android 10 with One UI 2.1 on top and
charge at a 15W rate.
