Apart from the highlighted 64MP sensor, the rear setup has an 8MP ultra-wide, a 5MP macro lens and a 5MP depth sensor in a rectangular housing along with LED flashlight. On the front, there’s a 32MP selfie snapper.

The device’s 6GB variant is already available on e-commerce sites like Amazon, Samsung’s online store and all offline retail stores in the country. However, the successor of M31, the Galaxy M31s and a new Galaxy M51 is just around the corner and it will be interesting to see how sales of the new 8GB variant will take effect going forward.
