Review on Sleek and Powerful: Samsung Galaxy A21s A217M 64GB Dual SIM GSM Unlocked Android Smartphone (International Variant/US Compatible LTE) - Black by Natt Avut

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is really good, I'm glad I bought it.

The model seems to fit in well with the category of low-priced devices made by a reputable company, at least in my perspective. There are, of course, drawbacks, and it's obvious that a picky user shouldn't even try it. Nevertheless, rivals like Xiaomi and realme offer superior specs at the same pricing. If you want a phone from a reputable brand, but aren't expecting miracles from this one, go ahead and grab it. The lack of Samsung Pay is the biggest annoyance for me. All else is secondary.

Pros
  • Big display devoid of gimmicky "cutouts" and "bangs;" enough (though not particularly fast) RAM for a device in this price range; allow for two sim cards and a microSD slot; The modern One UI 2.1 shell is the same as in older models; the battery lasts a long time; support for both VoLTE and WoWIFI; the presence of a connector 3.5; 2 microphones; the rear fingerprint scanner performs better and more accurately than the sub-screen one (on the A71, for example); the camera is commensurate with the class of the device.
Cons
  • There is no Samsung Pay support (for now it only supports MIR Amazon), the shell features are limited (no sidebar, etc.), and the screen is cheap (not AMOLED and obviously worse than, say, the A51 / A71 both in brightness and in color reproduction). Of course, no one is recording your discussions (however, older models do not have either).
