Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy M21 (2021) technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy M21 (2021) suits buyers looking for a Super AMOLED display and a large-capacity battery. The trade-off in this version is memory: its 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage are lower than those of most phones of its time. Storage is expandable, though the internal capacity remains 64 GB.
The 6.4-inch display has 403 ppi, a higher pixel density than that of most phones of its time. Its 420-nit peak brightness, however, is among the lowest. The phone uses a Samsung Exynos 9611 processor. Overall performance is typical of phones launched around the same time, while both its RAM and storage capacity fall below most.
The rear main camera has a typical 48 MP resolution, but its f/2 aperture is worse than that of most phones of its time, and it lacks optical image stabilization. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera. Its 6000 mAh battery has more capacity than that of most phones of its time, while 15 W charging is slower than on most. Other features include dual SIM, NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack. With a NeoScore of 5.1, this phone is for buyers who put battery capacity and a Super AMOLED display ahead of memory, storage and charging speed.
