Description

The Samsung Galaxy A21s can be best described as a smartphone designed for enthusiasts who need a little more than what the less premium Samsung Galaxy A21 offers. It packs in upgrades in cameras, RAM, battery life, and lots more.

Design and Display

The Samsung Galaxy A21s design has elements we saw on its less premium sibling. The new camera module on the rear is what makes the difference. Instead of being arranged in a straight line, the cameras have been placed in a square box, similar to what we saw on the Samsung Galaxy A51 and Samsung Galaxy A71.

The rear panel of this smartphone is also home to a capacitive fingerprint sensor and the Samsung branding, which indicates its a Samsung smartphone.

Upfront we have got the same setup from the less premium Samsung Galaxy A21. This setup comprises of a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display, which houses a punch-hole camera. This display has a screen resolution of 720 x 1600 and a screen density of 270 PPI.

The Cameras

The Camera department was stepped up a notch, with the only upgrade being the primary camera on the rear. The Samsung Galaxy A21s makes do with a 48MP primary rear camera, as opposed to the 16MP primary camera we saw on the less premium Galaxy A21.

Other cameras on the rear camera setup include an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera. This rear camera setup is capable of shooting 720p and 1080p videos. You also get HDR and panorama for photos. Selfies are manned by a 13MP camera, which is also capable of shooting 1080p videos. You also get HDR for photos.

Hardware and Software

The Samsung Galaxy A21s packs smartphone hardware that sort of falls in the lower end mid-range category. You have a package designed for tasks that aren’t power intensive.

Packed in this smartphone is an Octa-core Exynos 850 processor. You get 4GB RAM, 64GB of internal storage, and a non-removable 5000mAh Li-Po battery.

On the software side, you have got One UI 2.0 interface running on the Android 10 operating system.
