Samsung Galaxy M21 (Midnight Blue, 4GB RAM, 64GB Storage)

Actually it's worth a four star but compare it's price and the brand name I should make it as 5 star . Compare to the Chinese companys it's back is plastic but elegant in look ,chinese they are providing glass backs Frankly it's a nice product from a samsung that also a made india product in this value is amazing 48 mp camera 6000mah battery samoled led octra core processor etc that are the main features 48mp camera it's pretty good for video or photo and the 20mp front camera that's work well in low lights but not that good in dark ,low light that's ok 6000 mah battery that's good enough for one day moderate use . In my case I used it 10 hours countiously with games ,video ,fb etc then also it's last for next day morning Finger print reader that's work quickly so no wate of time For gaming I am not a game addict but I used to pay mediam level games escapes that's are pretty good in it Pretty good display The negative sides are Camera For me if I use the back camera for a video around 10 minute it's starts getting over heated I don't know it's only for me or everyone facing the same Battery it's 6000 mah but effectively it's works like a 5000mah only because of its power drawing processor Finger print reader Sometimes not frequently ie rarely it's not even working , i think it's may cause the slight wetness or moister Processor It's a octra core one but not the latest one It was introduced a year back that's is nothing but it's a power drainer Whatever the negatives are there also it's worth for money product . The negatives are not even a big one ie camera while taking pics there is no issue ,they know about the power drawing processor so they added the 6kmah battery , if we use the clean hand means the fingerpri also works fine .So there is nothing to worry about the phone that's absolutely fine in this budget

Very good product 👌 Nice Mobile

This was a very good smartphone for its price segment. I used it for more than 4 years as my primary device, and it performed reliably throughout that time. The phone offered good overall performance, a solid display, and excellent battery life during most of its lifespan. I finally stopped using it only because the battery started degrading after long-term usage, which is expected after several years of regular use. Overall, it was a dependable and durable device that served well for years. A good purchase and great value for money at the time.

This phone is extremely great. Last very long. Also it's accessories are available easily and can be repaired easily.

This is a highly hyped phone. Samsung launched a cheap quality, 1 year life, all in one budget phone. I have used this phone for a week now and have also spoken with some other people who have purchased it and somehow they got same experience. Sorry Samsung fans, this phone has more cons the pros. Pros: 1. Triple camera setup. Wide angle camera gives it an edge. Covers much range than other cameras in this segment phones. Live focus or bokeh kida down market. Color mixture is just superb. You will get really live and vibrant photography outside. Samsung has made improvement in its image processing. 2. Radio: Yes it has inbuilt radio option. 3. Su Amoled: just amazing, you'll love the texture of video and picture quality. 4. Charging: Takes about 2-3 hours for full charge given 6k mah battery. 5. Clean OS. Yes for those who don't like funky UI and wants just a clean and easy going OSz samsung offers that. 6. Dedicated SIM x 2 slot. Separate memory card slot. Cons.: 1. Camera: Has artificial bokeh programming. If you are the one who goes by detail it will disappoint you. Image with Zoom or taken while movement are just down market. So much noise. 2. Battery drains fast, give you about a day's usage support. Like a 4000mah one. 3. RAM: Guys this is where I was disappointed. Just after installing 6 apps, my available RAM space was just 1.3/4gb. Not she where all that space went. 4. The phone lage, from the very first boot it was lagging, sometimes you can experience a delay of 2 seconds in touch response. Can be fixed my software update. 5. Security patch of Feb 2020. No security patch for march of April, might be due to corona lockdown. 6. It's heavy to hold. Back shine will go in a week if you don't use a back cover. 7. Fingerprint is slow. All and all Samsung's main USP is this triple camera setup and Super amoled display. Rest all can be found in other 11k phone. This phone won't last more then 1.5 year.

After going through so many phones, I finally decided to buy this one. I checked the phone for few days, here are my observations - 1. Battery Backup - 4/5, no complain for backup 2. Fast Charging - 3/5, It took 2.5 hr to go from 5% to 100% 3. Camera - 3.5/5, Front Camera is good, On Rear Side it has only, Wide Angle & Ultra Wide Angle but no Telephoto Lens. Zoom only works for Wide Angle lens but it is useless as it is not Lens zoom rather it is software zoom, it means capturing a shot then zoom out to check a spot is same as capturing the zoomed out shot, at least I felt this way. There are few other features in camere like - in built editor for Slowmo Videos, Panorma, GIF creator. 4. Speakers - 3/5, It is avg not very great, although I loved the Dolby Atmos feature, it enhances the 3D Audio experience to next level. Mic & receivers were all working properly in initial few calls, not sure about their future. I have seen many complain about Mic, Receiver after 5-6 month of use. 5. Finger Print - 4/5, It is fast, was able to distinguish different fingers even with same patterns. 6. Face Unlock - 4/5, It is also fast, had feature to enable/Disable fast unlock but I did not feel any difference when enabled/Disabled. It has option to stop unlock when eyes are close, so no one can unlock while you are sleeping :). only complain is, was not able to detect Glasses, was unlocking with/without Glasses, don't know if this is the feature. 7. Display - 4/5, I did not feel much difference between LCD & LED display but I have to believe on experts if they are saying LED Panel have more colors blah...Let it be. Problem is with non-standard resolution, sometimes even 1080p video files are not covering the whole screen, although inbuilt video player has the option to stretch to fit the screen. Faced same problem with youtube videos but sadly there was no option to stretch there. Due to curved screen corner options are also not completely visible with Games. 8. I was excited to know whether this phone supports the simultaneous call & internet access on different sim Cards but sadly it does not. You won't be able to use Data with SIM2 if are on call with SIM1. Although both SIM slots 4G LTE. 9. Speed & Graphics - 3.5/5, to check speed I installed few Games, I installed Call of Duty 2.0+GB game & NFS no limits around 1.0GB. I did not face any lag with NFS but with Call of Duty faced Lag sometime. 10. Initial Memory Usage was 15.0 GB. Phone had many unwanted apps, I was able to uninstall many of them but could not remove the NetFlix & facebook app, only option was to disable them. Although I tried playing games but I feel it is not a gaming phone, Except sAMOLED display, Dolby Atmos I don't see any flagship features in phone. Please be careful while setting up phones otherwise will receive lot of marketing notifications from Samsung. Mistakenly I clicked some options with reading enough & then Samsung Galaxy Store started downloading lot of unnecessary apps, there was no way so stop it, I could get the Download queue, it really made me Sad that a brand like Samsung also do such things. I was manually stopping the apps as soon they start downloading, I spent 30 mins doing this.

Here is my review on the new samsung m21. I'm using this smartphone from 2 months so I can give my comment to help you guys make up your decision. I categorise my review based on the following points: (a) Built Quality (b) Display (c) Camera (d) Performance (e) Software (f) Battery (A) Build quality: It's a nice looking phone with a standard build quality nothing fancy on the back. Plain standardised back side with glossy finish but very well built keeping in mind it has 6000 mah battery. It's feels quite light in hands. It's a sturdy phone and it can handle if it accidentally it drops sometime. If you want to get fully packed phone in this price range it's a good phone to buy with this build quality. (B) Display: We all know samsung make great displays so here also it's a 6.4 inch water drop notch mailed display which is amazing in this price range. I bought this phone only for its great display and cameras. I mostly watch videos on my phone and it's a great experience. Even the touch response is also very good in samsung phones. Amoled display and 6000 mah battery is a great combination. (C) Camera: Camera is it's highlight in this price range. Samsung captures very good photos with a good balance of colors and natural sharp photos. The colors in photos are not over saturated. It takes very good photos. M21 has 20 mp front cam and 48 mp back camera which takes amazing photos. Samsung live focus provide some amazing features. Samsung UI is brilliant providing u some amazing features in camera. (D) Performance: Samsung's performance is quite balanced with exynos 9611 series processor. I don't do much gaming but for occasional gaming it will not disappoint you but specifically for gaming you can check out some other products with better processors in this price range. But for day to day usage it performs good and samsung hi provides great performance with this processor. So you are getting a good camera bigger battery and sufficient powerful processor. (E) Software: Samsung UI is great no ads altogether and has great features which are really useful. You can check some videos on features for samsung UI. I like the Samsung standardised UI which is great easy to use and smooth. (F) Battery: For battery it's a 6000 mah battery so you can expect a 2 days battery life for normal user and 1 day full use for heavy users who do a lot of gaming movie and videos watching. But for battery you can give 7 star and samsung did a great work by keeping the phone light weigh also with this massive battery inbuilt. So it's a great phone in this price range. Fully packed samsung phone.
