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

So this review is of my 2 years experience with galaxy m21 so it may not be applicable to the newer version. This phone is a really good phone to get your daily needs done without any fancy features but over the time with introduction of one ui based on Android 11/12 the phone has become one of the best customizable phone in the market, the camera is good but I wouldn't suggest this phone for camera freaks like me😂 but the 48mp camera does work well in good daylight but can't differentiate between the shadows and dark green, but I love the super steady mode for videos cause the videos are clean without any shakes..... but the performance for games is just basic and genshin impact works "ok" not impressive. The screen if touched by a wet finger then the screen goes into crazy mode😵‍💫 and I have to restart the whole thing 😫..... My mom had a m30s and it just switched off one day and never switched "on" angin and when we went to the service center, the service center person told it will take "7K" to replace the mother bord...... So she upgraded to a 1+ nord ce and it was the best decision The m21 is the exact m30s but with a Improvement to the motherboard but my phone has started to act up and started to boot loop some ime and has started to lag time to time but I am cleaning it daily and it working good ig🤷‍♂️ the brush widget helps boost the ram and the battery life is good even after 2years (July 27 2020).

Good quality and item

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.

Update after 3 months usage:- performance is rather poor. Apps hang, takes time to start and when a message comes it takes 5 seconds to show notification after the beep. True caller takes 5 rings to even start whe a call comes. By the time the ringing itself stops. The camera is also not very responsive and takes seconds to click so you miss those beautiful moments by the time the camera starts. Picture depth is poor and smudgy whats the use of somany cameras? the fingerprint sensor doesnt work half the time and it locks up for 30 seconds if it cannot recognise and its a pain rather than a feature. after the latest OS update the messaging app hangs while exiting and cant use phone for few seconds. Also the UI is very unintuitive and I have to click 4 times to delete a mesg. And just to add fuel to fire amazon sells this now at a 3k discount and cashback to the 14k I bought this for. Overall make in india ia fine but make with quality and exonomybin india. Cant believe a samsung galaxy brand van make such poor quality phones. Still a 3star for make in india or it will be 0 for the pathetic eynos processor. Just stick to snapdragin samsung and throw away your piece of sand called exynos if you want to really survive longterm. First I bought this phone as my old phone bricked and I needed one urgently. Only criteria was a not a made in china decently modern phone. This one a21 and 31 were trending in market though my research 6 months back wanted me to buy an a50 something these two had the same features CPU etc and processor but lesser ram and storage and one camera less and some megapixels lesser but who needs them anyway. All I need is one decent camera on each side. The camera in this is decent and has multiple modes and options like AR AI and wide angle and so on. Its confusing and I felt not in control. So sticking to 16:9 standard pics. Still the depth is pixelated even at 48 MP. The amoled screen is amazing in vivid colors though it can be quite hard on the eyes. I am keeping it in dark mode mostly and there is also a blue filter. There are also calm modes which put the phone in black and white and do not disturb mode for me time away from phone. The phone is quite bulky by today's standards about a centimeter with a cover. It doesn't have 5g support either which many new phones bring. This is a mostly made in india phone with exception of charger cable from Vietnam and I am sure the processor and circuits made in Taiwan or china. Nevertheless it was refreshing to see a made in india phone designed by Samsung in a world where anything we buy is made in china. Though I must say the finish of the product and packing is not of such high quality as chineese brands like xiaomi vivo not even compare to one+. But the product itself is of higher quality than chineese phones. The cost is much higher than normal times perhaps due to pandemic or import curbs from china. Atleast 4k more. Such phones are in the 10k range but still feature to feature similar prized mi or others have more cameras and glass body and many more features. Brought this only cos of Made in India.but it has to become competitive in terms of quality and price to be successful. Update: After a weeks use updating to 5 star. 3 day battery though no real fast charging takes 3 hrs to charge full. Performance is top notch no lag or hang and smooth even with extra animations enabled. Overall happy with the phone.

Samsung should build some more cell phones like these and variants under 10K as well. This is truly a good cellphone with crisp & clear vivid OLED Display for 14K. SUPER DISPLAY! 5/5 Camera performs very well in both daylight and night. You need to be patient and keep in mind you're not holding a 45K plus phone or dslr in your hand for faster shutter speed. Glitches are there ,expecting to be resolved in future updates. The clarity is good even with the selfie camera. Less modes are there , but yeah I use Camera MX so no issues. 4/5 Battery life is also upto the mark only disadvantage is the charging time. No fast charging or high watt charger bundled. Not a BiG Problem at all. 4/5 Fingerprint is also accurate and works very well. 5/5 The UI is typical Samsung UI some bloatware is there , you can uninstall some except the Samsung apps. 4/5 Sound is a bit low compared to the MI and REALME , basically "CHINESE" devices. However , again not a problem can workout with high volume ringtones for phonecalls. 🤘🏻 3.5/5 Body build quality is also good with kind of plastic and metal combination. Colour blue looks premium. Bought tempered glass and back cover together. They arrived early though 🤪. 4/5 Headphone jack is also available and the volume rockerz plus power button are on the same side of the phone. Tip- screenshot capture is a bit delay , you need to tap the volume down + power just once and leave , after 2 secs you will be able to see the screenshot capture is processed. There's a visible delay in this. ☝️ Overall for the body options - 4/5 Final verdict - In this price range , Samsung is coming back to gain the market and should avail the opportunity (current china ties reservations) to do so by providing more options and more features from 5K till 15K range. Samsung Galaxy M21 - 4.5 / 5. Display is SUPER ! ✨ Got it with some discount using Amazon Pay ICICI card and Exchanging Old device. 🤘🏻
