Samsung Galaxy M21: 6000mAh, 48MP Triple Cameras for P9,000

Even with the coronavirus pandemic, Samsung still launched the Galaxy M21, as scheduled, in India. The affordable smartphone is replacing the Galaxy M20s and carries a price tag of INR 12,999(~P8,900). Compared to the predecessor, the Galaxy M21 now has 6000mAh battery, 48MP triple-camera setup, an upgraded 20MP selfie sensor, and a brighter Super AMOLED screen. As for the rest, it’s still the same teardrop notched phone with the all-polycarbonate build. It’s also using the same Exynos 8611 from last year, however, it’s already paired with at least 4GB RAM and 64GB UFS 2.1 storage. The top model doubles the storage and increases the RAM to 6GB. Even with an outdated chipset, the Galaxy M20 is rocking One UI 2.0 based on Android 10.
