Samsung Galaxy M21 with 6,000mAh battery, 20MP front camera launched in India

Samsung has a very wide portfolio of smartphones to offer across the entire smartphone price spectrum. But despite the offerings, the company does not always manage to successfully capitalize on certain segments of the market. For instance, Samsung smartphones lagged behind in the online commerce segments as they failed to keep up against the likes of Xiaomi, and now Realme. Samsung countered this with an increased focus on the online segment, and this focus has eventually evolved into the Galaxy M-series that we see right now. Today, Samsung has launched a new entrant in the M series, with the new Galaxy M21.

The Samsung Galaxy M21 succeeds the Samsung Galaxy M20 that was launched in India back in January 2019. The Galaxy M21 had already been leaked to an extent, so the device does not come across as a complete surprise.

The highlight of the phone is of course, the massive 6,000 mAh battery that easily lasts for more than 1.5days on a single charge, even under heavy use. You also get 15W fast charging capabilities, as well as a 15W charger in the box. Being a Samsung phone, the sAMOLED display will also attract users at this price point, though the phone does not come with any of the high refresh rate tricks that other devices like the Realme 6 sport.

The Galaxy M21 has a triple rear camera setup, comprising of an unspecified 48MP sensor, coupled with a wide-angle camera and a depth sensor. The front camera is a 20MP shooter, which would be appreciated by people who like to take a lot of selfies.

Pricing and Availability

The Samsung Galaxy M21 will be available in India for ₹12,999 (~$175) for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage variant. Pricing for other variants has not been revealed yet. The phone will be available in Midnight Blue and Raven Black color options and will be available for purchase from March 23, 2020, on Amazon.in and Samsung.
