  • Review Summary

    Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition appears like an upgrade over last year’s M21 but it technically offers the same specs and performance among other aspects except for some cosmetic changes and different colour options. With decent camera performance and chipset, the device offers an excellent battery albeit with a slower charging speed. The device is literally the same for a few other smartphones in the A and M-series of devices from Samsung so doesn’t exactly present itself as a new product to be interested in.

  • Verdict

    At the end of the day, it all boils down to what you need versus what you are ready to compromise when it comes to a Sub-15K INR smartphone. Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition is the same as its older 2020 version except for some cosmetic changes and upgraded software. Battery life is great and there’s no doubt about it but you get slower charging support. The chipset performance is satisfactory but I expect better performance at this price tag. This doesn’t mean the chipset cannot handle stuff, it does but it could have been better.

    The camera is okayish and there’s no oomph factor about it. I guess Samsung could improve camera performance via software updates but for that, you will have to actually buy the device and wait. Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition is a cool day-to-day usage promising a splendid battery backup and decent performance overall.
