Initial Unboxing and First Look at the Moto G31 Smartphone

As I carefully unwrapped the packaging of my review unit, I was excited to get my hands on the latest offering from Motorola - the Moto G31. The first thing that caught my eye was the sleek design of the phone, which felt premium in the hand. With a weight of around 190 grams and dimensions of 165 x 77.8 x 9.4 mm, this smartphone is designed to be compact and easy to carry.

The display on the Moto G31 is a significant highlight of the device. As I mentioned earlier, it features an AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The screen is also quite vibrant, with good color accuracy and contrast ratio. While not as high as some of the flagship devices in this price segment, the display on the Moto G31 is more than sufficient for everyday use. I was able to see a significant improvement over my previous mid-range smartphone, which had a LCD screen.

One of the standout features of the Moto G31 is its camera system. As I mentioned earlier, it has a triple-camera setup, consisting of a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, and a macro lens with a focal length of 4mm. The camera interface is intuitive, with options for modes such as portrait, night mode, and more. The camera also features optical zoom, which I was able to test out during my review.

The camera samples taken on the Moto G31 were impressive, considering its price point. In good lighting conditions, the phone's camera performed well, capturing vibrant colors and crisp details. Even in low-light conditions, the camera managed to produce decent results, albeit with some noise and grain. The macro lens was also a pleasant surprise, allowing me to capture close-up shots of small objects.

In addition to its impressive cameras, the Moto G31 also features a powerful processor - the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675. With 4GB or 6GB of RAM, depending on the variant, this phone should be able to handle most day-to-day tasks with ease. I was impressed by how seamless the transition between apps and multitasking was.

The storage capacity of the Moto G31 starts at 64GB, expandable via a microSD card slot. With the option to choose from different RAM variants and storage options, this phone should be able to cater to various needs and preferences. The battery life on this phone is also noteworthy, with a capacity of 5000mAh.

Motorola has also included some thoughtful touches in the design of the Moto G31. For instance, there's a sleek and durable glass back that protects the phone from scratches and drops. Additionally, the phone features IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, giving users peace of mind when handling the device outdoors or in harsh environments.

Overall, my initial impressions of the Moto G31 smartphone are very positive. With its impressive camera system, powerful processor, and premium design, this phone seems to be an excellent option for those looking for a high-end Android experience without breaking the bank. While some features like the fingerprint sensor were noticeably missing, I believe these omissions will not detract from my overall enjoyment of the device.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys this is ranjit and in this video we'll be doing the unboxing and have a first look at this motorola moto g31 and this is a mid-range android smartphone that is launched by motorola in india and i'm really happy to say that this one actually comes with the oled screen that's an amoled screen and it's a full hd screen that you're getting so really happy that motorola is listening to user feedback uh if you recall uh i've been always been complaining that motorola does not come out with this smartphone with an amulet screen i'm really glad that now they have brought this mid-range smartphone uh now with an amoled screen and guys this comes in actually two videos and back as you can see not a lot of specs uh this is powered by the mediatic g85 soc this is also a octa-core processor a two powerful cores and six power efficient cores and it comes with a 50 megapixel uh triple camera setup it says and 5000 milliamp hour battery and guys this comes in two variants uh four gigabytes of ram and six gigabytes of ram four gigabytes will have 64 gb of storage and uh that six gigabytes will have 128 and the the pricing starts at about 12 999 that is about 13 000 uh and i'll have the link for even the higher end variant in the description so you can check it out so again uh case is pre-applied guys on this one like most motorola phones they do it so i'll just take it out and back has a texture guys and in this color actually it plays around with the light i hope the camera is able to capture it and so it's not what you say and it is resisting the fingerprint so yes obviously this is a plastic polycarbonate thing but looks nice and this motorola logo is supposed to be the fingerprint scanner the triple camera setup that we have on top and that oled screen that's a 6.4 inch screen so we'll take this one also out i'll give the handset to the side and let's see what else do we get so this is yeah so your sim ejector tool is here and some paperwork basic stuff your type c cable and uh this is the power adapter and guys uh this is uh specific to india in india motorola is giving a 20 watt power adapter whereas this same smartphone in the international market is having a 10 watt charger so this is the 20 watt fast charging at this house so nice to see they're giving a little bit extra for india and here is the smartphone itself so we have a 3.5 headphone jack uh looks like a secondary noise cancellation microphone over here so that's nice so here we have one extra button oh no okay and volume rocker and the power on a button so all the buttons are on this side guys uh bottom will be the speaker uh this is a single speaker guys not stereo but motorola claims that this one is dolby atmos supported uh your type c port this will be your main microphone and this will be your sim tray i mean let's look at the config so it's a dual uh hybrid guys i wished it had a dedicated slot but this is what we are having and micro sd cards uh it can accept up to one terabyte if i remember yeah so this is the device and if you look at the back uh guys the camera set up uh the first camera is 8 megapixel ultra wide but it does a job of actually two cameras it's also ultra wide and also a depth uh then this is the main 15 megapixel camera that we have and this is the two megapixel macro one and back as i've told you this is the fingerprint scanner front camera if i recall this is a 13 megapixel so let me just power this on guys and oh i saw physical led notification light so that is interesting and an amoled screen so i'll just set this up and then we will continue so guys i had set up the phone in fact this is actually the next day so been using this phone for almost a day so let me give you uh my initial impressions what did i feel about this and the first thing that i noticed is that though this is having that 5000 milliamp hour battery the phone simply does not feel heavy this was a problem with most of the earlier motor phones i always say that they felt very bulky and heavy that's not the case with this one this is where it's just 180 grams and the weight balance has been done well now if we talk about the amoled screen yes it's having a full hd amoled screen so nice they didn't there and i also like one more thing is that generally what happens in budget oriented amoled screens is that yes they go with 720p but next thing what they do is the brightness is simply not that great but that's not the case in this one as you can see this is around this area right now and the screen is actually uh adequately bright even in outdoor conditions when i was testing the phone outdoors in the morning reading twitter feeds etc uh it was a good experience guys it never felt that it was not bright and it can go according to specs up to 700 net so outdoor visibility is also a nice thing uh now coming to the in hand feel uh this gives a good in hand feel as i've told you the back is textured so it gives a little bit of grip i have been using it without the case uh this is the fingerprint scanner and it works as expected you have to get used to it now it's on the back i wish they had it in the power on a button but it is functional and you will get used to this one in a day or so and uh still though it's an amulet screen guys uh this one has the moto display also so if you just if the phone is just lying like this you just pick it up uh it will detect so you'll no notification you can just tap you can read it and all those things like this so that is still there and in fact this one also has a physical led notification light which is interesting i didn't expect that and again the beauty of motorola phone is that stock android experience that you're getting and that's the same case even with this one left you have the google paint whatever regular google paint that you see and uh again almost no bloatware that is installed on this one i have installed some of my own apps because i think this is a very important phone so i'll be doing a full review so i've installed actually uh some of the apps that i need to use like twitter truecaller mygate etc and a bunch of other apps started already testing this smartphone and i've already actually put my main sim that is 18 on this one so hopefully in the next 10 days i'll do a full review also of this one but initial impressions guys it's doing a decent job it's powered by the g85 soc this is again an octa-core processor and it's actually decent for what this phone is it's not the basically top-end processor but again for the price this is around 13 000 as i've told you guys i feel it's a decent processor and uh most of you will be happy about it uh next thing is guys i just wanted to uh let you guys know i am also uh this is the base variant that i'm also using uh this is the four gigabyte uh ram variant so my testing will be based on the base variant not the higher end that comes with six gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of storage in fact from yesterday i'm using it as i've told you i've used about 20 gigabytes so have used a little bit of storage on this one but you also get that higher end six gigabytes of ram variant on this one and again guys the screen is good as i've told you but again this is a normal 60 hertz screen not that 90 or 120 that you should be aware of but again in ui it is responsive and i'm not facing any issues of what you say lag or anything and i like the complete clean experience we also have the fm radio over here uh let's also it also claims dolby at moss so let's also just fire up youtube and let me actually show you one interesting thing that i noticed on the smartphone let's just play this video this one this is my tech altar special edition quiz and if you notice this is a normal video displaying i'm not increasing volume but if you click over here let's when some text comes this is something that i've noticed okay i think and if i go to the volume you can press this icon and now if you notice it takes a couple of seconds and it does this live caption so this is really nice and this works really well so this is given on this phone and it works really well for someone who wants it and you just click the volume button to disable it so this works very well on this smartphone these are some of the touches that come with stock android and they are enabling it let's also uh search for some copyright music to give you an idea about this sound and i'm going to increase the i'll just go over here and i'll increase the volume so single speaker guys just single over here as you can see but decently loud it gets the job done i wish it had stereo speakers but we can't expect everything so this is the sound as you can see so yeah that's regarding the speaker and yes this one has that 3.5 mm headphone jack at the top so a clean experience i would say on this smartphone and regarding the battery life guys it's too early to comment on it as of now as i've told you i started using it from yesterday and yesterday i had fully charged it and now it's at 55 percent so if you look at it again this is our initial battery results i'll have to test it a lot more and uh as you can see about one day 14 hours since i've charged it so one and a half days and still i'm having 55 hours so i was not using it very heavily so about just about three hours of screen on time but still i think so this should give about seven eight hours of sot with about one and a half days worth of usage now let's also look at quickly at the camera we have the triple camera as i've already mentioned the main is a 50 megapixel uh but it does pixel binning so the main pictures are 12.5 megapixel but you can also go to the 50 megapixel if i just put some box over here so this is the camera interface that you're getting on this one and you have the one one x then you have the wide angle also that eight megapixel wide angle that also acts as a depth one and then this last one is the macro this we have to use for very small stuff and all those things you can go really close to the macro not this one that macro lens last one yeah really really close as you can see get up close so you can use that and here's the macro i was thinking too much of a gimmick but yeah yeah it works i would say and uh so cameras uh these are the cameras that you're getting and by default guys uh you have a lot of modes over here but they won't be visible by default only the video and photo mode were here uh the night vision and all this were hidden here you can pull whatever you want so you have the night vision and portrait also and you can also switch to the front facing camera like this this is the portrait mode and you can also go to the direct regular mode so let me do one thing let me actually show you some of the samples taken with this smartphone so some samples taken outdoor this is regular shot and this was uh wide angle and outdoor it does a decent job so i decided to shoot in indoor and dark conditions and as you can see these i shot at night and to be frank considering the lighting it did actually pretty decent job as you can see uh yes you have to be careful there can be camera check if you're not careful but again overall i feel it did a good job this was in the night mode night mode did particularly well and again this was that wide angle mode again i have to say at night it did much better than what i expected uh as you can see and i'm going to the front facing camera these were taken with the front-facing camera and i feel it did a pretty decent job this was actually in the portrait bokeh mode obviously the front-facing camera does a lot better in natural daylight conditions as you can see moving to the macro these are some of the samples taken with the macro to give you an example this is a regular shot and with macro as you can see how close i could go another example uh this is with the regular shot and with the macro as you can see how close i could go another example uh this was the regular shot and uh this was with the macro lens so guys uh that's it for now for the unboxing and first look at this moto g31 so what do you guys feel about this one i feel uh motorola has actually done a great job we were always asking a motorola to introduce a affordable mid-range smartphone with an amoled screen so we are getting that and this is also not very bulky and again this one also comes with that think shield for extra security and the clean android experience without any bloatware or ads so if you are that sort of a person under 15 000 rupees you wanted a clean android experience oops i'm going to cut that call spam see the true color also works very well as i've told you so this is that works so yeah as i've telling if you were looking for uh what do you say clean stock android experience smartphone and you didn't have a very high budget uh now certainly you can look at this moto g31 initial impressions i would say this is actually looking like a pretty good smartphone and the pricing is also not too insane it starts at the base variant with 4 gigabytes of ram that i'm testing starts at about 13 000 there is also that other variant i'll leave the links in the description so initial impressions i would say positive about this smartphone i will also be doing the full in-depth review of this smartphone so stay tuned to my channel i'll post that video somewhere about after 10 days or so anyways but what do you guys think about this moto g31 do let me know in the comment section below and
