In November 2021, Motorola drew a lot of five new smartphones oscillating between 200 and 550 euros.The idea: to attack the entry and mid -range segment to come and tickle redmi, realme and other poco.This is the quest for the G31 motorcycle, which wants to seduce with its low price and its OLED screen.
What is it worth in practice?Here is the answer in this test.

Motorola Moto G31Design
Motorola does not reinvent the wheel and opts for a classic design with rounded edges, slightly angular side faces without being annoying and decent thickness edges, except the chin.The selfie camera comes to nest in a central hallmark.All that is most conventional.
It is on the right edge that a triplet of pimples is invited: that of standby, well placed to reach it easily with its thumb, those of volumes (a little too high) and that to activate the Google assistant, at the very top and unattainable in one hand.Let's be honest: we could clearly have done.
Source: Anthony Wonner - Frandroid Source: Anthony Wonner - FrandroidThe rear side of the G31 motorcycle is not transcendent, with a plastic back with the striated effect a little cheap (but not dirty).The triple photo sensor was installed in a very standard oblong module.We are neither in extravagance or originality nor in mediocrity either.Let's say that the phone is average in terms of design.
This is also the case for its weight of 181 grams and its thickness of 8.55 mm, which offers a globally pleasant grip: the G31 motorcycle is not too heavy.Helmet lovers and wired headphones will also be delighted to use the 3.5 mm jack present on the upper edge.

Finally, note the presence of a hybrid sim (two nano sim or a nano sim + a microSD card) and the possibility of adding a microSD card of 1 TB to boost the storage of 64 or 128 GB.
Motorola Moto G31 Scin
The beautiful surprise of the day comes from the screen, and more precisely from the display technology: from the OLED, ladies and gentlemen, who therefore brings infinite contrasts here.Meeting OLED on a 219 euros phone is not a feat either.
At the beginning of 2021, Xiaomi was indeed a precursor with its Redmi Note 10 range.Realme also followed the step a little later with his realme 8 pro.But it is always a pleasure to observe the efforts of the manufacturers in the matter.On the other hand, the refresh rate of 60 Hz is perhaps a bit fair.
Its 6.4 -inch slab is indeed a little lagging behind in this area, although a frequency of 90 or 120 Hz is not a purpose on this tariff tranche.Some do better (Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro, Realme 8 Pro), others are equal to play.The FHD+ definition (2,400 x 1,080 pixels) is appreciated and validated.

Let us now look at the more technical data noted by our probe and the Calman Ultimate Displays software.The color temperature first of all: in saturated mode, the screen displays a score of 7316 k, which tends to shoot too much.Ideally, we want to reach 6,500 k to taste a natural balance.
That's good, since the natural mode is strongly approached with 6741 k.Nevertheless, the saturated mode tends to flatter the retina a little more with more petting colors.It is according to your preferences.In any case, a small rule allows you to manage the temperature dosage as you see fit.
On the brightness side, you will not encounter any day visibility problem and in full sun, thanks to a peak of 680 cd/m² of very good quality.On this point, the Moto G31 does not disappoint.
Motorola Moto G31logiel
If you did not know, know that the software interface of a Motorola generally approaches Android Stock, that is to say the so-called "pure" version of Android.We are here far from current customs, which favor an interface developed by the telephone manufacturer in person.
The G21 motorcycle is therefore armed with Android 11 and a security correction dating from December 1, 2021, which is relatively recent.For the rest, you have to love.The idea is not to overload the experience by offering a stripped interface but above all enough junk with regard to the parameters.
The absence of a dark theme button in the quick settings menu is sorely lacking.To take advantage of it, you have to search.Like Vivo, an applications group only displays four icons on the phone interface, even though a dozen apps are actually hiding behind.It's pretty frustrating.The absence of a button to delete all notifications at once is also a problem.
Let's say that on the software level, this G31 motorcycle lacks personality: it does not really mark spirits and does not leave an unforgettable memory as can do one on the samsung and oxygenos on the oneplus.It is an assumed choice of Motorola, who will have his detractors and her aficionados.
Nevertheless, Android 11 still offers all the basic features that we can expect from this version.Let us also highlight the many functions dedicated to accessibility (enlargement, color correction, mouse grand cursor, large buttons), very practical for certain handicaps.
But again, do not hesitate to put your hands in the kidnapping to go and find all these options.Finally, note that the fingerprint sensor located under the standby button works perfectly, and that Widevine L1 compatibility allows you to read HD content on Netflix, Disney+ or Molotov.
Motorola Moto G31Appareil Photo
For its G31 motorcycle, Motorola opted for a triple rear photo sensor.Do not be fooled by this figure, which is above all acting as an artifice and not a real photographic versatility.We will explain to you why.Here is the technical configuration of the sensors:

It must be admitted that the weather and brightness conditions were not ideal during the shots.But overall, the main sensor is decent, without putting our mirettes either.
We perceive an unflattering yellow/green filter for the retina and a modest level of detail without being picked up on this price range.In most situations, dynamic management is good.At this price, you will generally be satisfied with the result.
It turns vinegar on the side of the ultra grand angle, with a huge colorimetric inconsistency compared to the main sensor.This time, the pictures pull towards reddish shades.On the Place de la Bastille, admire how much the tree and its foliage change color.
Unsurprisingly, a big loss of details is to be reported as soon as your gaze moves away from the center of the photo.A very classic phenomenon with this type of shooting.
Digital noise and Lens flare effect at the level of the floor lamp on the first photo, result after all correct on the second despite a level of dive down: at night, the G31 motorcycle will not make a miracle in complex situations, butwill release a minimum in simpler scenes.Nothing transcendent either.
As on all the smartphones today, a night mode is made available to the user to try to capture more details during a long socket.Except that on the entry -level, it is rarely conclusive.
Let us greet all the same the level of raised brightness, however to detriment sharpness.
The 50 megapixel mode - to be activated in the application settings and that you will probably not use - is strictly useless.We perceive a tiny improvement in the level of detail, but too little to make us raise an eyebrow.
The sensor dedicated to macro mode could have passed on and never invited itself to this phone, as the result is at the antipodes of our expectations.
Portrait mode tends to "fart" certain colors - such as the sweater and red cap of my colleague -, but this effect is perceived especially on smartphone and less on computer.There are also many inaccuracies on simple subjects, evidenced by the cutting of the Omar sweater.
The selfie bokeh effect (photo n ° 3) does not take into account the HDR, and it shows with the completely burnt window in the background.Otherwise, the 13 -megapixel front sensor offers decent shots without any mode.
Finally, be aware that the Motorola Moto G31 can film Full HD at 30 fps.
Motorola Moto G31performances
Let's be frank and honest at the outset: the Motorola Moto G31 is clearly not a lightning lightning with its 4 GB of RAM and its Mediatek Helio G85 processor, both aging (presented in August 2020 and already present on the Redmi Note9 at the time) and modest in performance.We could even qualify the power of the low phone.

On a daily basis, small slowdowns and other latencies are regularly noticed: we feel them in particular the opening or closing an application, however so simple to manage in normal times.Overall, the experience is not completely fluid as we could hope.The G31 motorcycle is behind the competition.
Besides, the benchmarks speak for themselves.

Motorcycle G31 is dominated from head to foot on all benchmark applications, faced with roughly sold phones sold at the same price.Besides, forget Fortnite, incompatible with the power of the phone.Just gourmet resources to have fun.
Motorola Moto G31batterie
With its 5000 mAh battery, the Motorola Moto G31 is rather well the tide in mixed use: it will allow you to hold a day and a half, if not a bit more with a lot of moderation.
Tested via our protocol on Viser software, which simulates a continuous activity to bring down its autonomy at 10 %, the G31 motorcycle obtained a score of 11:51, which comes roughly modo corroborating our impressions.

On the other hand, you have to take your pain in patience to recharge it ... due to a ridiculous charger of 10 W.Here he draws a beautiful ball in the foot compared to the competition.The Poco M4 Pro has for example right to a block of 33 W.
These measures will give you a better idea of his extreme slowness:
Motorola Moto G31reseaux and Communications
If we are now used to writing on 5G phones, know that this motorcycle G31 does not marry the new standards of mobile telephony and is confined to 4G, which will still suit the majority of people.
The device is also based on Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 5.0 and an NCF chip for contactless payments and dematerialized transport securities.Always practical according to the uses and needs of each.

The G31 motorcycle delivers a beautiful partition in terms of telephone calls: not only is the voice intelligible, but it also covers the ambient noise pollution which are barely perceptible by your interlocutor.
However, the phone has trouble managing the gusts of wind and slightly compresses your voice: but do not worry, it is absolutely not embarrassing or prohibitive.Finally, the microphones cut themselves well when no one speaks to cut the ambient noises.
Motorola Moto G31Prix and availability
The Motorola Moto G31 is available at a price of 219 euros on the brand's official website, in a single configuration: 4 + 64 GB.The phone is available in two colors: Baby Blue and Mineral Gray.You can also find it on several e-commerce sites.
