The Galaxy A31 is launching in Vietnam today, April 27, for 6,490,000 VND ($276), which is about $30 less than the asking price in South Korea. Samsung Vietnam is targeting this device at Generation Z, touting the phone's macro camera as a great fit for users who spend a lot of time social networking.

It's accompanied by a 48MP wide sensor with autofocus and an f/2.0 aperture, as well as an ultra-wide 8MP f/2.2 shooter. Selfie enthusiasts have a generous 20MP front-facing camera to work with.

A 5,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging keeps the ball rolling

Samsung claims that the Galaxy A31 can achieve up to 20 hours of video playback on a single charge, thanks to the 5,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging. The display is of the Infinity-U Super AMOLED variety and has a 6.4-inch diagonal with a resolution of 2400 by 1080.

Other specs include a MediaTek Helio P65 chipset, which makes the Galaxy A31 a rarity in Samsung's portfolio. The CPU is paired with 6GB of RAM, and the phone offers 128GB of built-in storage expandable by up to 512GB via microSD. Android 10 and One UI 2.0 are available out of the box.
