Samsung today announced the Galaxy M31 Prime Edition. Thanks to Amazon.in, we knew its specs and price already, but the Korean tech giant made things official today and revealed the phone's sale date.
The Galaxy M31 Prime Edition comes in a
single 6GB/128GB memory configuration priced at INR 16,499 (US$ 225/€ 190) and has
three color options - Ocean Blue, Space Black, and Iceberg Blue. Amazon says
there's a 64GB variant as well, but it's not mentioned in Samsung's press
release or on its official Indian site.
The Galaxy M31 Prime Edition will go on
sale in India from October 17 through Samsung's online store, Amazon.in, and
select retail stores across the country. But Amazon Prime members will get a
chance to buy it a day early.
The Samsung Galaxy M31 Prime Edition
shares the internals and design with the Galaxy M31, meaning you get an Exynos
9611 SoC and a 6.4" FullHD+ Super AMOLED display. There's a 32MP selfie
camera and a 64MP quad camera on the back of the Android 10-based One UI
2.1-running phone. You also get a rear-mounted fingerprint reader and a 6,000
mAh battery with 15W charging. And the Prime Edition comes in one new color
(Iceberg Blue) and a complimentary 3-month Amazon Prime subscription.
Additionally, the Galaxy M31 Prime Edition
comes with an 'Always On' Amazon shopping app, which offers quick access to
products on Amazon with a right swipe on the home screen.
Besides, the smartphone comes
pre-installed with a dedicated folder that contains popular Amazon ecosystem
apps such as Amazon Shopping, Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Prime Music, Kindle,
and Audible. We believe this is why the phone is called "Prime
Edition".
