Last week, a report tipped that Samsung will be launching its new Galaxy A31 in India in the first week of June. Now, the South Korean company has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy A31 will be launched on June 4 in the country. The official listing is also up on the Samsung India website with few details.
Samsung first unveiled the Galaxy A31 globally in March. It flaunts a 6.4-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a waterdrop-style notch. The handset was introduced in two configurations – 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, and in 6GB+128GB variant. But going by the previous report, it is expected that the company will bring the 6GB RAM variant in India. The price is said to remain close to Rs 23,000.
As we already know, Samsung’s A series of devices retail through both online and offline platforms. So it is likely the Galaxy 31 will also be made available across retail channels.
