Whereas it is made from polycarbonate, it doesn’t really feel low cost, and even has an IPX2 score for water resistance. Nevertheless, as compared, the Moto G30 (Review) had an IP52 score for mud and water resistance.
The Moto G31 includes a devoted button to summon the Google Assistant
The three.5mm headphone jack sits on the prime, whereas the one speaker and USB Kind-C port are on the backside. All of the buttons are on the correct aspect.
