Samsung had started teasing a newer version of the Galaxy M21 last week. Today, the company has finally launched the Galaxy M21 2021 Edition, which brings a newer design and an updated camera sensor. The smartphone will be available in India in two colors, exclusively through Amazon. It is priced at INR 12,499 (around $170) for the 64GB version and it can be purchased starting July 26, 2021.
The Galaxy M21 2021 Edition (SM-M215G) is largely similar to the original Galaxy M21. It features the same 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-U display with Full HD+ resolution, Gorilla Glass 3 front protection, and a plastic body. However, its rear design is different compared to the Galaxy M21. It has diagonal lines and it comes in two colors: Arctic Blue and Charcoal Black. It has a fingerprint reader at the rear.
It has a 20MP selfie camera and a 48MP triple-camera setup at the rear. The 48MP camera sensor has been upgraded to the ISOCELL Bright GM2, which can capture true 48MP images. The phone also has an 8MP ultrawide camera and a 5MP depth sensor. The Galaxy M21 2021 Edition can record 4K 30fps videos.
It is equipped with the 10nm Exynos 9611 processor, 4GB/6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB internal storage, and a microSD card slot. Its connectivity features include GPS, a dual-SIM card slot, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It is powered by a 6,000mAh battery and supports up to 15W fast charging.
It comes with Android 11 (with One UI Core 3.1), and it will receive two major Android updates in the future. It means that it will get the Android 13 update, while the Galaxy M21 won't.
