Samsung has been quick at offering Android 12 updates for its Galaxy A and M series models. A few weeks back, the Galaxy M31 received the Android 12 update in India. Now, the Samsung Galaxy M31s is getting the taste of the latest public Android version.

The Samsung Galaxy M31s’ Android 12-based One UI 4.1 update has the firmware version M317FXXU3DVD4 (via). The update is currently rolling out for the Galaxy M31s models in Russia. It brings a whole lot of new features and also has the March 2022 security patch. The update also brings some bug fixes and improvements.

Some of the notable features that the update carries are more of the Android 12 features. There’s the redesigned UI with the new Color Palette, improved Always-on-Display, thicker slider bars, new widget styling, and others.

It also has updated stock applications such as Samsung Gallery, Samsung Internet, Samsung Keyboard, and My Files.

One of the other notable features includes the privacy indicators for the mic and camera, where if an app is accessing the camera or microphone, you will see a green indicator on the top.

How to Update?

If you are a Galaxy M31s owner in Russia you will get an OTA update notification. You can also look for the update manually by heading to Settings > Software Update. If you do not see the update, no need to worry as it will reach your device soon.

The Samsung Galaxy A and Galaxy M series of smartphones have been a great success for the company, selling millions of units globally. However, a new report has suggested that some of these models might be suffering from a mysterious bug.

Apparently, a number of users of certain Galaxy A and Galaxy M series of handsets have claimed that these smartphones suffer from a peculiar issue that causes their devices to freeze up and restart automatically. According to SamMobile, owners of the Galaxy M30s, Galaxy M31, Galaxy M31s, Galaxy A50, Galaxy A50s, and Galaxy A51 smartphones in India have recently come forward about suffering from this issue.

As per the Galaxy A and M users, their handsets tend to freeze up and hang often. Furthermore, the devices are also plagued by frequent auto restarts as well. These issues are a major nuisance to the users who also claimed that their devices have also gotten stuck in a boot loop before and don’t go past the South Korean tech giant’s logo at the startup. Notably, some users that went to Samsung service centers have reportedly been told that they might need to have the motherboards of their smartphones replaced.

This would cost them over 100 US Dollars. The Galaxy M and Galaxy A series are usually known for their mid range smartphones, which is quite popular in India. So it is understandable that not many would go through with the motherboard replacement for that hefty price of repairs that could just be an underlying issue not discovered by the company yet. Hopefully, the brand can acknowledge this issue that could be affecting a number of other customers and offers a fix, or at least, a free of cost repair.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy M31s in India in late July 2020. On the other hand, vivo launched the vivo V20 SE in the country in November 202o. Now, months later after their release, these two smartphones have received a permanent price cut of ₹1000 on all the variants for the offline channels.

Samsung Galaxy M31s Price Cut India

The South Korean tech giant debuted the Galaxy M31s in India ahead of the Amazon Prime Day sale event. The handset was introduced for ₹19,499 (6GB + 128GB) and ₹21,499 (8GB + 128GB) respectively. But the offline price was ₹1,000 higher. Anyway, it was slashed to match the online pricing in late September.

With the new ₹1,000 price cut, this phone can be now bought for either ₹18,499 or ₹20,499 from offline stores in India. Interestingly, although 91Mobiles says this price drop is exclusive to offline channels, the device is being sold at this very same price tag on Amazon India. However, for the base variant, buyers will need to apply the included coupon.

Samsung Galaxy M31s launched with One UI Core 2.1 based on Android 10. It is currently receiving the Android 11-based One UI Core 3.0 update.

vivo V20 SE Price Cut India

Unlike the former smartphone, the vivo V20 SE was released in a single 8GB + 128GB variant, priced at ₹20,990. As its price has been now dropped by ₹1,000, it can be purchased for only ₹19,990.

But it is worth noting that this price drop is only applicable across offline channels. The handset is still listed at its launch price on online retailers like Flipkart and Amazon India.

The vivo V20 SE hit the shelves with Funtouch OS 11 based on Android 10. The company is now seeding the Android 11 update to this device.

The Galaxy M31s is a slightly improved version of Galaxy M31. Samsung announced this smartphone in the second half of 2020. It debuted with One UI Core 2.1 based on Android 10 and was later updated to One UI Core 2.5. Now, this handset has started receiving Android 11-based One UI Core 3.0 update.

According to SamMobile, the One UI Core 3.1 update for the Samsung Galaxy M31s is currently live in Russia and Ukraine. The update comes with firmware version M317FXXU2CUB1 and February 2021 security patch for these regions.

As expected, the latest system update for this phone not only brings Android 11 and its features but also new One UI features and improvements. However, being a budget smartphone, it does not get all the features just like all other Galaxy M series devices that have received One UI Core 3.0 update so far.

Anyway, if you happen to own the Galaxy M31s, then head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether your unit has received the update yet. If yes, then make sure to download to as soon as possible to experience the fresh software from the house of Samsung.

That said, it is worth noting that the update is being rolled out in batches and therefore, it may time to reach every unit out there around the world.

A recent report revealed Samsung to announce Galaxy M31s, the successor to Galaxy M31 from earlier this year by the end of this month. The handset is said to go on sale starting next month. Just a couple of days from that report, the phone’s renders have now leaked along with the sale date.

An exclusive leak by 91Mobiles gives us the first glimpse of Galaxy M31s in the form of two renders. Apart from renders, the leak also exposes the handset’s first sale date – August 5. The device will be available to purchase from Samsung online store as well as Amazon India.

Talking about renders, the first one shows the back of the device, which looks identical to its predecessor Galax  M31. However, it isn’t as the camera layout is L-shaped compared to inverted L-shape on the former. Also, most importantly, there’s no sign of fingerprint sensor on the rear panel.

Since the device is tipped to arrive with Infinity-O AMOLED display, which the second render reveals, we can expect it to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor as well. That means the Galaxy M31s could be the first phone in the Galaxy M series to come with this feature.

Further, according to previous leaks, the handset will be powered by the same old Exynos 9611 chipset. Also, it is said to retain 6,000 mAh battery and 64MP (primary) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (macro) + 5MP (depth) quad-camera setup. Last but not least, the phone is expected to start around ₹20,000 ($267).

Samsung launched Galaxy M31 earlier this year in India starting at a price tag of ₹14,999. Currently, the phone starts at ₹15,499 due to recent GST (Goods & Services Tax) increase and pandemic. Just after 5 months from its release, the company is all set to unveil its successor – Galaxy M31s by the end of this month.

The news about the launch of Galaxy M31s comes from IANS. According to the report, the handset will feature a Super AMOLED Infinity-O display (punch-hole), 64MP quad-camera setup, 6000mAh battery, and a price tag of around ₹20,000. Although It will be available to purchase starting August from Amazon and offline retailers, the company will announce the phone in July itself.

As per previous leaks, it will be powered by the same Exynos 9611 chipset, which is present in both Galaxy M31 and Galaxy M30s. It is expected to come with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, however, there could be other variants as well like the recently unveiled Galaxy M31 8GB RAM version.  On the software front, we can expect it to run One UI 2 based on Android 10.

In a nutshell, the upcoming Galaxy M31s will be identical to its predecessor Galaxy M31 except for a punch-hole display instead of an Infinity-U (dew-drop notch) panel.

Samsung launched Galaxy M11, Galaxy M21, and Galaxy M31 phones in the recent past. The South Korean company is now reportedly working two new Galaxy M-series phones such as Galaxy M51 (SM-M515F model number) and Galaxy M31s (SM-M317F). It is speculated that the Galaxy M51 could be a rebranded version of the Galaxy A51. However, it may arrive some changes in design and hardware. The Galaxy M31s moniker suggests that it could be an updated version of the Galaxy M31 that debuted earlier this year. A fresh report on 91mobiles has revealed the camera specs and launch timeframe of both devices.

The publication has learned through industry sources that the Galaxy M31s smartphone may debut as early as next week or at the beginning of June. The Galaxy M51 is speculated to debut by the end of June.

The South Korean company may launch it earlier, but it could be made available for purchase by late June or early July. The reason behind it seems to be a slow production due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. The Galaxy M51 and M31s are both expected to come with a rear-facing 64-megapixel quad camera. Hence, it appears that the renders of the Galaxy M51 that appeared with triple rear cameras a few months ago were incorrect. The main sensor seems to be Samsung’s ISOCELL GW1 64-megapixel lens.
