Samsung Galaxy M31 specs reveal two expected upgrades

-

Like the Galaxy A series phones Samsung launched this year, devices in the budget Galaxy M lineup will also be getting sequels in the coming year. It was only two weeks ago that we exclusively revealed that Samsung is working on the Galaxy M11 and Galaxy M31, and the latter has already made its way into the Geekbench benchmark database. It turns out that the Galaxy M31 will bring a couple of expected upgrades over the Galaxy M30.

Revealed Galaxy M31 specs don't offer any surprises

The first of those is the processor. The Exynos 7904 that powers the M30 is being replaced by an Exynos 9611 on the M31. It's not the most powerful chip, but it's the one Samsung has been using in all of its lower mid-range devices recently, such as the Galaxy M30s and the newly announced Galaxy A51. The benchmarked unit had 6GB of RAM, but there's likely to be a variant with only 4GB of RAM as well. There will be a minimum of 64GB of storage, as we had revealed in our earlier report.

The second upgrade is the version of Android: The Galaxy M31 has been benchmarked with Android 10. Samsung has finally stopped launching phones with outdated software, so the M31 running Android 10 out of the box won't come as a surprise. The Galaxy M30 has already been updated to Android 10, but since it came with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, it's unlikely to get Android 11. The Galaxy M31, meanwhile, should go on to get updated till Android 12.

Other than the specs revealed by the benchmark, nothing is known about the Galaxy M31. It's likely to have upgraded cameras, and we can imagine it will get the same sensors as those on the Galaxy M30s. Whether it will also have a macro camera like the one on the Galaxy A51 remains to be seen. An Infinity-O display can be expected as well, given Samsung's push for a consistent design language across devices that it's going to launch in the coming year.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail. With Gmail Add-ons, your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster.

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
