The teaser video suggests that the Galaxy A21s will feature “long lasting battery life”. While the video reveals little else, the Galaxy A21s was already unveiled in the UK. The Samsung Galaxy A21s is priced at GBP 179 (Roughly Rs 17,000) in the UK. While there is no information on the price of the device in India, we expect it to arrive in India’s sub-20K price segment.

The Galaxy A21s is powered by an unnamed octa-core processor, which we believe to be the Exynos 850 chipset. The device sports a 6.5-inch HD+ (720*1,600 pixels) Infinity-O Display with 20:9 aspect ratio. The phone will arrive with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, although we could expect more memory configurations.

The Galaxy A21s packs a 5,000 mAh battery with 15W fast charging support. The phone will run on Android 10 with Samsung’s One UI skin. The Galaxy A21s offers expandable storage up to 512GB via microSD card as well as a fingerprint reader on the back.

The Galaxy A21s opts for a quad-camera setup with a 48-megapixel sensor at the helm. The main camera is paired with an 8 MP, f/2.2 ultrawide shooter, a 2 MP, f/2.4 macro camera, and a 2 MP, f/2.4 depth sensor. The Galaxy A21s opts for a hole-punch camera cutout that houses a 13 MP, f/2.2 selfie shooter.
