Editorial report

Ulefone Note 21 4 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The Ulefone Note 21 suits buyers looking for a straightforward Android phone with expandable storage, provided they can accept camera and battery specifications among the weakest of its time. Its overall NeoScore is 4.1.

The 6.56-inch display gives content a broad viewing area. Its 90 Hz refresh rate is lower than on most phones launched around the same time, while the 9.2 mm body is thicker than most. Resolution is 720 × 1612 px. Storage starts at 128 GB and can be expanded with a memory card, but 4 GB of RAM and an AnTuTu score of 251,000 place performance among the weakest of its time.

The 13 MP camera uses a 1/3.1″ sensor, among the smallest of its time, and has no optical image stabilization. Its 5000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time, and 10 W charging is among the weakest. Connections include dual Nano-SIM, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo. It runs Android 14 and supports Google Services.

This is a basic option for everyday tasks and for buyers who value expandable storage and wired connections. Its comparative weaknesses in performance, camera and battery outweigh those conveniences, leaving a modest overall verdict.
