Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Motorola Moto G31 (4GB + 128GB)

  • Vibrant FHD+ AMOLED display with deep blacks and punchy colors
  • Excellent battery life, often lasting up to two days on a single charge
  • Clean, near-stock Android software experience with minimal bloatware
  • Comfortable, lightweight design with a textured back for better grip
  • Includes essential features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and dedicated Google Assistant button
  • Good value for money at its budget price point

What we don't like about Motorola Moto G31 (4GB + 128GB)

  • Sluggish performance and lag, especially during heavy multitasking or gaming
  • Slow 10W charging speeds, taking a long time to reach full power
  • Display refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, a downgrade from the predecessor's 90Hz
  • Lack of 5G connectivity and wireless charging
  • Inconsistent camera performance, particularly with poor low-light results and blurry video
  • Limited water and dust resistance with only an IPX2 rating

Verdict

The Motorola Moto G31 (4GB + 128GB) is a budget-friendly smartphone featuring a vibrant 6.4-inch Full HD+ OLED display, a capable MediaTek Helio G85 processor, and a large 5,000mAh battery for extended use. Its main highlight is a versatile 50MP triple-camera system, offering excellent photo quality for its class, along with the generous 128GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD) and a 3.5mm headphone jack. A potential drawback is the display's standard 60Hz refresh rate, and it is limited to 10W charging support, which is relatively slow compared to competitors.
