Android version and market relevance

In the short description of the new smartphone Samsung Galaxy A21 we point out the key characteristics for each smartphone. Firstly, it is an actuality in the market. This model was announced by the company Samsung in April 2020. Secondly, this concept of adequacy in the market at the moment. We determine this according to the software version on which the smartphone is running and updating. So, “out of the box” Samsung Galaxy A21 works on Android 10 and has not received until now no updates to the more recent version of the software. In this case, we advise you to avoid buying models that do not receive software updates. Look at the others smartphones of 2020.

Of the features that not all Android smartphones have today, we separately single out support for two SIM cards and the ability to work in 5G networks with a maximum speed of 100 Mb/s. So Samsung Galaxy A21 is a dual-smartphone, so you can combine in one device just two phones. This, of course, is convenient and makes you look more closely at this model. The manufacturer could add support for fifth-generation networks to this smartphone, but did not. Perhaps not to raise the price, or for other reasons. If for you the presence of support for 5G networks in a new smartphone is very important, then we recommend that you go to this page in the catalog — all 5G smartphones on Android.

Screen, body and battery

The most important thing you need to know about the case and form factor Samsung Galaxy A21. There is a cutout above the screen to take up even more space on the front of the case. As you have seen in the photo, here is a cutout in the form of a small hole for a selfie camera. On the front side of the case is located huge IPS LCD-screen with diagonal 6.5″. At the same time, a battery with a capacity of 4 000 mAh.

Main camera and selfie camera

A selfie camera is located in front of the screen with one lens: 13 MP Wide. Among all the cameras, this we attributed to the segment good cameras. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.

The main camera got several modules (smartphones with four cameras): 16 MP Wide + 8 MP UltraWide + 2 MP Macro + 2 MP Depth sensor, located on the back of the body. We defined it in the segment very good cameras. You can buy this smartphone. Why do you need a camera with multiple modules in a smartphone? And what are the advantages of such a camera? This allows you to take very beautiful portraits with bokeh (blurred background) effect. And an additional lens with a different focal length provides a high-quality approximation (zoom) for photography. In addition, software algorithms can improve the quality of the photo after processing frames from each camera module.

Processor and Internal Memory

Brilliant multi-core processor installed in Samsung Galaxy A21. 3 GB of RAM will help make the interface work smoother. There is also built-in memory in the smartphone, which stores photos, videos, music and all your other data. The amount of this built-in memory is 32 GB. Memory cards you can also use, in this model are supported microSDXC-cards.

Price for Samsung Galaxy A21: buy or not to buy?

So this is Samsung Galaxy A21 after the official announcement. This novelty fell into the segment of cheap of smartphones.

Buy Samsung Galaxy A21 you can after the beginning of official sales, which start in  June 2020. And now the price from the manufacturer is known — it′s $135 without taxes and fees. The price-to-feature ratio of this smartphone is not bad, because there is is just a huge screen and the camera is not bad, and the frontcamera is also very cool.
