Hisense F31

        The Hisense F31 is available

Launched at the end of 2016, the Hisense F31 quickly disappeared from the few signs where it was marketed. Here it is again available, always at the price of 169 euros.

Hisense launched no less than 5 smartphones in the year 2016. A ramp-up compared to the previous year. The Chinese brand took advantage of the end of the year to launch the F31, a mid-range model whose technical data bases are finally close enough to those of the L671 or L676.

Launched at 169 euros, the smartphone quickly ran out of stock for several weeks. Not that the smartphone has enjoyed a sudden popularity, the volume of sales of the brand is still too low, but the fact is that the units proposed for marketing quickly found their audience.

5-inch screen, Snapdragon 430 and 16 GB storage.

The Hisense F31 features a diagonal 5-inch screen that displays a resolution of 294 dpi. The smartphone has a chassis largely made of aluminum while the screen is protected by a 2.5D mineral glass.

The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chip with eight cores running at up to 1.4 GHz (for the fastest of them) and accompanied by an Adreno 505 for the graphic part. The Hisense F31 includes 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of internal storage (expandable by microSDXC up to 128 GB of additional storage).

A 13 megapixel photo sensor with standard autofocus and dual LED flash is located at the back of the smartphone. It is capable of filming in 1080p at 30 frames per second. A fingerprint reader is located nearby. A 5-megapixel sensor is also present on the front panel with a video resolution of 720p. The audio chipset is Dolby certified.

Finally, Hisense has not made the mistake of installing Android in version 5.1 as was the case with the C1 and the F20 released in the spring. The brand had indeed been deadlocked on a newer version of Android. The F31 smartphone is available on Android 6.0.

This model is marketed in France only in Gold version.
