Both phones are part of Cisco's Unified IP Phone Series but they do serve different purposes.
The 8811 is designed for general office use, features a single-line display with grayscale, supports up to five programmable line keys, comes with a built-in gigabit Ethernet switch port for connecting to the network, and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for power and data connectivity.
The 8831 is specifically designed for conference room environments, features a larger, backlit, high-resolution display for easier visibility during conference calls, supports wideband audio for superior call quality in conference settings, offers 360-degree room coverage with optional extension microphones for larger conference rooms, and typically requires external power and does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) like the 8811.
