Design and Build Quality:
The Samsung Galaxy A21 comes in black colour only. This phone got a full polycarbonate plastic body design with a glass front. Its dimensions are 167.8 x 76.7 x 8.1 mm, and it is about 193 grams. However, It’s a plastic body, but it looks fine. And the plastic quality is also good. Overall, the design and build quality are acceptable.

Display:
Samsung brought to us a 6.5-inch (20:9) IPS LCD (720 x 1600, 270 PPI) water-drop notch display. The screen-to-body ratio is 79.3%. This HD+ IPS panel performs average, considering its price. Not that bad and not too good. It just okay; shows natural, rich colours.

Camera:
In rear side, it features a quad-camera setup; 16 MP primary + 8 MP (ultrawide) + 2 MP (macro) + 2 MP (depth) camera. And in front, it’s offering a 13 MP selfie camera. The 16 MP primary camera and 13 MP front camera snaps good detailed picture. But in the low light condition camera performance bugs. The overall camera performance is average.

Performance; CPU and Ram:
The MediaTek Helio P35 (12 nm) chipset is inside the phone. It has 8 cores based on Cortex-A53, up to 2.3 GHz. For GPU, it got- PowerVR GE8320. And It has 3 GB of ram and 32 GB (eMMC 5.1) of internal storage. The MediaTek Helio P 35 is not a high-end gaming processor. But it can play small 2D/3D games every day.

Battery and backup:
Samsung has given a 4000 mAh (non-removable) Li-Po battery here. And a 15W USB type-C fast-charger to power the phone. The plus point is, the 12 nm power-efficient chipset; consumes less power. With this 15W charger, it takes almost 2 hours to get a full charge.

You will see Android 10 inside, with One UI 2.0. Some people said it will get an Android 11 update.

If you’re not a full-time gamer, who uses the phone for normal office tasks, and who plays minor games; then you can buy that phone. And if you’re a full-time gamer, then this phone is not for you. Check other phones on our website at this price point.
