Battery life is the headline here. A 6000 mAh cell is a big number even by today's standards, and back in 2020 it made the Galaxy M21 a genuine multi-day phone for light users. Charging tops out at 15W though, so topping up that capacity takes a while. The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen runs at 1080 x 2340 and still holds up well for contrast and colour, even without a high refresh rate.
Camera setup is a triple array led by a 48MP main sensor, paired with an 8MP ultrawide and a 5MP depth lens for background blur shots. The 20MP front camera handles selfies and video calls fine. Under the hood, the Exynos 9611 chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage (expandable via microSD) is built for everyday use rather than gaming or heavy multitasking.
Samsung Galaxy M21 price in Malaysia starts from RM699, and it comes in Midnight Blue or Raven Black. Given the release date, it's worth checking this against newer options in the same price bracket before deciding.
