Let's take a look at whether the new Samsung Galaxy M31s is a good successor, or if you are better off buying the Samsung Galaxy M31.
Galaxy M31s vs M31: Price
The Samsung Galaxy M31s starts at Rs 19,499 for the 6GB RAM / 128GB storage variant and Rs 21,499 for the 8GB RAM / 128GB storage variant. The device will be available in Marriage Black and Marriage Blue options and will go on sale on Amazon from August 6.

Galaxy M31s vs M31: Specifications
The Samsung Galaxy M31 sports a 6.4-inch Full HD + Super AMOLED Infinity U display. Meanwhile, the Galaxy M31s sports a slightly larger 6.5-inch Full HD + Super AMOLED Infinity O display. So basically, the screen-to-body is wider on the M31s, due to the waterdrop style notch and punch holes in all the small bezels.
Both devices are powered by the company's own Exynos 9611 processor, which means they do the same on paper. Both run Google's Android 10 operating system with the company's own UI 2.0 skin. This basically indicates that there won't be a huge jump in performance, so if you already own a Galaxy M31, shifting to M31s won't work.
The Galaxy M31 is offered in two variants: 6 GB RAM / 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM / 128 GB storage. However, the Galaxy M31 comes in three variants: 6 GB RAM / 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM / 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM / 64 GB storage.
Upon arrival, both devices have a 6,000 mAh battery. However, the charging technologies used are different. The Galaxy M31 15W comes with support for fast charging, but the Galaxy M31s comes with support for 25W charging.
While the Galaxy M31s has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, the M31 has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Both devices come with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
