Samsung Galaxy A21 touted to be a budget to a mid-range smartphone, is said to come with four rear cameras, a hole-punch front panel, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, a new report suggests. The Samsung Galaxy A21 will also sport an Infinity-O display up front, with the camera cutout on the top left of the screen. An alleged render of the phone, which will succeed the company's Galaxy S20, has also surfaced online.
According to a report by Android Headlines, the Samsung Galaxy A21 will have four cameras on the back. Earlier reports have suggested that the phone might include a macro camera that will allow users to take super close-up shots.
The report further said that the Galaxy A21 will include a dual-LED flash on the right side of the camera and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, all of which can be seen the render shared by Android Headlines.
The presence of a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor is a slightly surprising development in 2020, as more and more manufacturer is going for in-display fingerprint scanners, even in rather affordable phones.
Additionally, from what we can see in the render, Samsung Galaxy A21 will probably come with a large chin on the bottom of the display.
Other specifications show the phone is said to include Exynos 7904 chipset, 4GB RAM, and 64GB of storage, and a microSD slot.
The Galaxy A21 and the Galaxy A11 are Samsung's two highly anticipated devices, especially among the consumers who don't want to spend too much on their smartphone purchase. There is no word on when Samsung plans to unveil these but we hope to hear from the company soon
Samsung Galaxy A21 Specs
The other guts of the Galaxy A21 follow the same “good enough” philosophy: an Exynos 7904 CPU (not as fast as the Snapdragon 865, but whatevs), 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, with optional expansion thanks to its micro SD card slot.
To power, this package which comes enclosed in hard plastic the blog claims there’s a 4,000mAh battery inside. Knowing the phone's specs and the fact that it doesn’t come with 5G connectivity, which probably takes you through an entire day of work without any problem. In fact, in our Galaxy A20 review, Samsung's previous budget phone lasted a whopping 13 hours and 46 minutes on a charge.
Samsung Galaxy A21 Display
Android Headlines claims that the Samsung Galaxy A21 which is the successor of the Galaxy A20, apparently the seventh best selling phone of 2019 has an Infinity-O display with the punch hole on the top left corner. The blog claims that it is smaller than the one in the Galaxy S10 but bigger than the one in the Galaxy S20.
Unlike the S20, the A21 doesn’t have an in-display fingerprint reader and instead has a regular fingerprint reader on the back. The former is nice to have despite its security problems, but avoiding putting your finger on the back of the phone is not worth $999 to me.
The most important thing about this display, however, is that it is AMOLED. The resolution is not QHD, of course, but it’s HD+. Again, good enough for most people.
Samsung Galaxy A21 Cameras
Samsung has allegedly included four cameras in the A21, doubling the two sensors in the A20. There’s no information about the sensors yet, but there should be a wide lens for the main camera plus telephoto, ultra-wide and a depth sensor that will not be a 3D time of flight (ToF) sensor but a plain monochrome 5MP sensor. Do you need a 3D ToF sensor to take photos with bokeh and gather depth information? No, no you don’t thank AI. So again, this is enough for most people.
Having three sensors with three different senses of lenses will give this phone the abilities that something like the Galaxy S20 gives on the high end but for a fraction of the cost. Sure, the sensors may not be the latest and greatest, but again, they will probably be good enough for most, especially at its low price point.
Samsung Galaxy A21 Price
We only have the alleged Galaxy A21 specs and design. We don’t know anything about its arrival date in the United States or Europe, although we know that it is coming to these shores and that it may arrive on March 6 to India.
As for the price, we know the A20 was $250 and was considered to be an excellent value thanks to its features.
Samsung will likely keep that price point while greatly boosting the new phone's capabilities. It certainly needs something to grab onto, knowing that the Galaxy S20 is probably not selling very well because of its $100 price hike (coronavirus or not). And it’s no coincidence that of the 10 best selling phones of 2019 the top 1 was the low-cost iPhone XR, which was Apple’s entry point to the full-screen smartphone world. Plus there was not a single S-line phone on that list.
We can’t wait to get our hands on this low-cost battle horse. It's not fancy, and it’s not amazing tech in the sleekest package. But, honestly, I don’t care. Good enough at a very low price is good enough for me.
