Also available in the Philippines is the new Samsung Galaxy M31 which sports a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display, 6 GB RAM + 128 GB of expandable internal storage, 64 megapixel quad rear cameras + 32 megapixel selfie camera and a massive 6000 mAh battery capacity long enough for one's productivity and entertainment needs. However, it can only be purchased as an online exclusive so try finding it on Samsung's official online stores at Shopee and Lazada. Anyway, I end this edition with the specs and pricing of the Galaxy M31 in spades.
