Well, I've just received my 3rd unit, and the same audio jack issue is present.
Purchased from Amazon.ae, the UAE version, Blue 128GB/6GB. They are manufactured in Vietnam. Samsung hasn't yet acknowledged a manufacturing defect (at least from the Vietnam factory). Not a single reviewer seems to bother to check the audio jack.
For those who missed my earlier reports, plugging in earphones with mic into the audio jack, you will hear a faint buzzing or white noise anytime the device plays a sound (easy to test when typing an sms, or playing any media at the lowest volume - one step above mute). This buzzing or white noise becomes much louder and easy to notice while you are charging the phone. Yes, I tested this with 4 earphones with mic and 2 headphones without mic, on this phone and another phone. They all make noise on this phone only. Headphones without mic make less noise, so you can notice it only when charging as well.
I'm very disappointed cause I really wanted this phone, and I like it aside from this defect. So I was really hoping that it wasn't affecting all units, but it is (at least all blue UAE version units from Vietnam/amazon.ae). And I keep hoping Samsung will come out and acknowledge it, and announce that they have fixed the issue in upcoming batches, but after calling their service center, they say that they don't even know about this issue, which has to be a lie.

I saw so many complaints here. I don't know about other sets but the set I bought from India is really one of the best smartphones I have used. Only thing it lacks is haptics which isn't a big issue. I ain't a hardcore gamer but just to check the CPU, I played heavy games in this phone like COD, PUBG, asphalt 9, etc for some long time and they were totally well and smooth too. Fast charging is really awesome and battery performance is great. You can multitask easily. I have used it for about 2 months and it is in its finest state till now.

I am using the phone from last 2 months almost. Facing following issues. 1. Fast Charging takes 3 - 4 hrs for full charge. 2. Charging doesn't happen when car charger is used. 3. Fingerprint sensor is useless for unlocking. keep getting message that 5/10 attempts are made to unlock & failed, whereas I would have not even touched the phone. 4. Face recognition is one more useless thing as it never recognizes my face. 5. Portrait mode doesn't work properly. 6. When wifi is on and even though it is weak, doesn't connect to mobile data automatically. Hardly have any pros except camera which is better than my old phone.

Morris, 17 Oct 2020Same issue i had with my device ... I got it replaced but n... moreWithin 5 days of purchase the set went dead while kept idle. The sales and service department is not owing any response for changing the set. Company’s reaction is miles far from satisfaction. A very bad experience which will resist me from purchase of any Samsung product in future. I will also discourage my friends and relatives to buy Samsung products.

Biso, 19 Oct 2020Thank you so much 💐I just received my new replacement unit, and sadly, this one also makes the noise from the audio jack. Seems a bit less than my previous one, but could be that it will get as bad after using it for a week like I had done with the previous one before trying the headphones. If you are wondering what noise I'm talking about, check my original post from the 15th of October. I don't know if I will just return this device, or keep it and put up with the flaw. I have 15 days to decide before my refund window closes. If Pixel 4a becomes available in the UAE at a normal price (some importers are marking it up by 50%) within the next 15 days, I will definitely not keep this disappointment.

Is there an defect for M31S Mic. Whenever I talk to someone else, the listener complains that they are unable to hear the voice properly. The issue is while making a Video Call, using External Speaker. Is this a known issue. Anyone of you have the same problem specific to the Mic ?

Biso, 18 Oct 2020I wanna buy it from UAE , is the UAE version a good one?Unfortunately, the UAE version comes with a 15W charger in the box. Kindda annoying. The phone itself still supports 25W charging if you get your own 25W or greater charger. Other than that, it's fine. 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, from Amazon.ae or Samsung website. Amazon is cheaper. I'll update you when I get my replacement in a couple of days, and let you know if the audio jack problem was just that 1 unit, or perhaps all or a batch of them are flawed. I have seen a few reports that people had the same issue with their replacement unit too, and I didn't see anyone reporting that their new unit did not have the issue. That has me a bit concerned, but you know how it is. People are much less likely to return with an update when things go well. I'm really hoping that is all it is :o) I will be coming back though.

I was happy with it for 1 month , now the phone has started freezing at least twice a day , during normal usage. I don't play any games. I think that I have made a mistake by buying it. Earlier I was using xiaomi phone, I changed to Samsung as it was a reliable brand and I didn't wanted to buy a Chinese product. Now I feel a bit let down.
