Samsung recently unveiled a new budget phone in India from its popular M-series. This Galaxy M21 2021 Edition is a slight revamped version compared to the original M21 that we all know .
The bad news is, this Galaxy M21 2021 Edition isn’t that different from last year’s model, boasting of just a couple of changes and little else. In general, this new mobile from the Korean firm comes to the market to compete with other mid-range smartphones such as the Redmi Note 10, as its price starts from INR 12,499 for the variant of 4 GB of RAM + 64 GB of storage, while the option of 6 GB of RAM + 128 GB of storage is priced at INR 14,499.
What’s new, old?
The phone goes on sale in arctic blue and carbon black colors and arrives with Android 11, running on One UI 3.1. This is one of the big differences from the model released last year, as it has the same 6.4-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity-U display with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, as well as the same Exynos 9611 processor, an octa-core that works alongside the Mali-G72 MP3 GPU and up to 6 GB of LPDDR4x RAM.
Behind we have the usual triple camera configuration that houses a primary sensor of 48 megapixels, an ultra wide-angle sensor of 8 megapixels and a depth sensor of 5 megapixels. The main sensor of the camera is ISOCELL GM2,another update on the Galaxy M21.Up front is a 20-megapixel selfie camera sensor.
With 128GB of integrated storage down to the 64 GB option, the 2020 M21 also supports expansion via microSD card (up to 512GB). Connectivity options include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/A-GPS, USB Type-C and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is also a fingerprint sensor on the back.
The latest big change is in its 6,000 mAh battery, which on the Galaxy M21 2021 Edition supports 18W fast charging. It’s the same capacity as last year’s model, but with little slower charging speed.
At the moment, we do not know if this smartphone will marketed in Nepali market anytime soon.
