a21s-samsung.jpg

The Galaxy A21s features a 6.5-inch HD+ Infinity-O display and 20:9 aspect ratio. It comes with Exynos 850 processor with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB storage. It runs One UI 2.0 based on Android 10 out of the box. Samsung has launched the phone in three color options – black, white, and blue. It comes loaded with a 5,000mAh battery under the hood with support for 15W wired charging.

These variants are priced at Rs 16,499 and Rs 18,499 respectively. The prices announced by the company are higher than what we had expected. The Korean consumer electronics giant has been losing market share in India to Chinese brands. And we were hoping the Galaxy A21s will cost below Rs 15,000.
