Samsung Galaxy M21 – обзор

Samsung Galaxy M21 – прекрасный пример того, how phones should be made costing up to 200 dollars . Powerful battery, large AMOLED display, good cameras, 4K video recording, NFC, two SIM-cards, classic headphone output 3,5 mm, fast android performance 10 . Совершенно серьезно – за такие деньги больше не нужно.

While the new mid-range Samsung models can cost significantly more 500 dollars, а флагманские смартфоны – даже 1000, manufacturer releases cheap Galaxy M21. Buy a Samsung phone in Kharkov Galaxy M21 is available for just 5 398 UAH. He is so good, that even in hostile territory, where Xiaomi dominates, can feel safe.

Let me start with a few of the most important benefits., which make this smartphone a strong competitor to other best budget phones.

Long battery life

In short, battery life is very good.

Но…

Недавно я тестировал еще один телефон с большой батареей – Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite from online store Device Market. battery 5260 mAh worked 2 – 3 day and dialed SOT, ie. total display time, between full charges, at the level 6,5 – 9,5 o'clock.

meanwhile, The Samsung galaxy M21 has a noticeably larger battery at 6000 mAh, which usually works during 2 full days and reaches SOT in the range 7,5-8,5 hours. undoubtedly, this is a very good result by standards 2020 g. but, looking at battery capacity, you can expect even better working hours.

It is not excluded, that this is due to the worst optimization of the system on the Exynos processor 9611 compared to Snapdragon 730G.

minus, certainly, является долгое время полной зарядки аккумулятора – около 3 hours. В наши дни это очень плохой результат.

The display is very good

Large AMOLED Full HD panel + in the price class below 200 dollars has basically only pluses. Excellent contrast, very deep black (especially important in the evening), attractive rich colors and very good image detail.

Its size is 6,4 inch (or minus rounded corners 6,2 inch), it is large and good for watching videos, shooting (frame preview) and use of social media. The front is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.

Единственная слабая сторона дисплея – яркость при ярком солнечном свете. Houses, in the office, at school, on the train, in the shade the brightness is just good. However, when the "bright sun" shines, feel a little dissatisfied. The image is visible and legible, but not perfect. Increasing brightness by 1/4 would give a very satisfactory effect..

Generally, but, compared to other smartphones in less than 200 dollars, I think, that the display is very good. Notch at the top may not be in fashion, but not worried at all. In this class of technology, this is not a drawback..

Камера – качество фото и видео

Since I decided to start the review with the strengths of the tested phone, камера обязательно должна быть среди них. У Samsung Galaxy M21 очень хорошие камеры спереди и сзади.

The sharpness and detail of the photos from the main camera is just excellent.. Top notch in its class. color quality, automatic scene recognition, HDR – все это тоже заслуживает признания. Даже качество линз у камеры начального уровня довольно хорошее.

Samsung Galaxy M21 proves, what the 5000 UAH. you can get a smartphone with a good camera.

An ultra-wide-angle camera is useful, because it covers a much larger frame and provides almost the same good color quality. However, the weak point is the quality of the optics.. Visible on the sides of the frame, that the image is blurry and out of focus. This is not a sensor problem., but a cheap lens.

Added a small depth of field sensor on the back, which comes in handy in portrait mode (Live Focus). The photographed character here is taken out of the blurred background..

There is even a pretty good night mode., который тоже можно использовать для съемки в помещении. Это позволяет получать яркие, clear photos without blur.

The front camera is fine too.. Sharpness and detail acceptable, color quality is good. You can enable portrait mode, which usually works fine. However, it is not always possible to correctly "crop the background".

In a sense, the video quality in this price category should also be praised.. Galaxy M21 rear camera records 4K video at speed 30 frames per second with a bit rate of about 27-28 Mbps / with. Image detail and sharpness are good. It's a pity, that HDR does not work in 4K, because without him the sky can burn (too bright). No optical stabilization either.. You can enable digital format, but not in 4K (maximum in Full HD).

In the case of the front camera, the maximum resolution is reduced to Full HD 30 FPS. There is no stabilization in Full HD, so the image is shaking. Also no HDR. However overall the colors are good., the image is sharp enough.

NFC, two SIM cards and microSD

Samsung Galaxy M21 has NFC, Therefore, in stores, you can pay by phone like a regular card.. This is another plus, what is it worth buy this smartphone in Kharkov. The Galaxy M21 also has dual SIM , so you can use two different phone numbers in it .

Важное преимущество – отдельное место для карты памяти . Вы можете одновременно вставить в Galaxy M21 2x nano SIM + 1x microSD (to 512 GB).

Also has bluetooth 5.0, dual band wifi ac, USB Type-C и, of course, GPS.

Fingerprint reader

The reader is located on the back side of the case, not under the display surface. Works pretty fast, especially if the finger is not wet or damp. Минус – нужно вводить PIN-код после того, how the phone is inserted into the car mount.

Качество звука – мини-джек 3,5 mm and one speaker

As for the sound in the headphones, in my opinion, он нормальный. Galaxy M21 без проблем справляется как с маленькими, так и с большими наушниками – я тестировал его на драйверах Degauss Twelve и Denon AH-D2000. Звук динамичный, deep, басовитый и достаточно чистый. Основное различие заключается в громкости – конечно, headphones with higher impedance create a bigger problem for the smartphone and can play quieter.

Only one loudspeaker, quality at best I would call average . The sound is quite even and high, could the volume be turned up. Well for 5000 hryvnia cannot be perfect.

Non-waterproof plastic housing

Unlike the front, the back and sides of the case are made of plastic. They are quite resistant to light impacts and falls from a small height., but much less resistant to scratches and abrasion. However, plastic is still quite acceptable for smartphones priced under 6000 UAH.

Из-за большой батареи корпус довольно толстый – около 9,3 mm. Advantage, but, in, that the rear camera almost does not protrude.

Galaxy M21 is not waterproof, but it's still the norm for the price up to 6000 UAH

Work speed and efficiency

Samsung Galaxy M21 is fast and comfortable to use. 4 GB of RAM and pretty good system optimization means, that when using popular applications and browsing the Internet, we will not complain about slow work. Although the storage is not very fast.

However, it should be clearly stated, что это не игровой смартфон. Yes, simple games work well on it, but for the most demanding games, the Exynos processor 9611 with a Mali-G72 MP3 graphics chip just doesn't fit.

Synthetic tests confirm, что с точки зрения производительности Galaxy M21 – это средняя полка. Even the older and slightly cheaper Redmi Note 8 Pro gives much better results.

Useful Features

Galaxy M21 has Android 10 с оверлеем One UI 2.0 , который является одной из более новых версий. For those, who is already familiar with this interface, переключение на M21 будет совершенно беспроблемным. Эргономика и частично функциональность очень похожи на другие новые смартфоны семейства Galaxy. Разница в основном в скорости действия.

Одноручный режим и жесты – смотрите в расширенных функциях. Once enabled, you can zoom out the interface, by moving the middle button on the bottom bar down or by quickly pressing it twice.

Other gestures are also available, such as double tap, to wake the phone from sleep mode, swipe, to save a screenshot, or finger touch gestures (swipe up or down, to show or hide the notification menu).

Темный режим – Galaxy M21, like most other Samsung smartphones, has an AMOLED display, which consumes much less energy, eg, when system dark theme is installed (including app theme).

Фильтр синего света – снижает нагрузку на глаза при использовании телефона вечером или в темных помещениях. Он может запускаться автоматически или по расписанию.

Звуковые эффекты. В телефоне мы находим эффекты Dolby Atmos, which work well when watching movies, but, in my opinion, они снижают качество при прослушивании музыки. Special, if someone likes the most faithful, original sound.

Всегда включенный дисплей – функция, which always displays clock and notification icons, даже когда телефон заблокирован. Стиль часов можно изменить независимо для экрана блокировки и экрана Always On Display.

Samsung Cloud и Microsoft OneDrive. Обе компании тесно сотрудничают, а в некоторых отношениях службы Microsoft даже доминируют. Примером может служить синхронизация данных со смартфона с облаком. Некоторые настройки по-прежнему синхронизируются через учетную запись Samsung Cloud, but if you are a new user and want to automatically download photos and videos from the gallery, вам также потребуется создать учетную запись Microsoft. Данные будут сохранены в вашем OneDrive. Это изменение появляется только в интерфейсе One UI 2.x на других смартфонах, but in the end it, probably, will reach the majority of users.

Should I buy a smartphone Samsung Galaxy M21? view

If you have a phone worth no more than 200 dollars, and you want to buy something with a long battery life, good photos and videos and a large AMOLED display, то Samsung Galaxy M21 – отличный выбор.

For all the above characteristics, this is one of the best smartphones in its price class.. It also has NFC for contactless payments in stores., two SIM-cards, a separate space for a microSD memory card, classic headphone output 3,5 mm and a good fingerprint scanner. Works pretty fast and has new android 10 с One UI 2.0.

properly, я обнаружил два неприятных недостатка – пластиковый корпус очень легко царапается, and the charger is too weak for such a large battery.

What do you think, this is also a good suggestion? Share your opinion about this phone. Have a good day!
