  • It is a decent phone, it has some defects but it performs very well in general

    Its strongest point is the battery, it lasted me a day and a half, its processor was normal, but I was doing decently on a day-to-day basis, its camera was also decent but at night it didn't work well, and in games it went well

  • Phone runs super smooth every day with no problems.

    Love the battery does last a long time. It has a battery of 5000mAh. Wich is one of the stronger points of this phone.
    Camera is very clear. At least for me. Some people may find it not good enough.
    Finger Print is extreeamly responsive.
    Comes with fast charging wich is an big emproevemetn over standard charging.

    Speakers are not the best. so if u look for goed phone speakers this is not for u. But then again i dont expect this from a phone.
    Dosen't come with Build in gorilla glas.
    And the 32GB storage is not the biggest storage ever. If u use alot of apps it gets full pretty quick. But for my experience never had problems with it. Still can get a decent amount of apps on it.

    The CPU is not the fastest. There are for sure faster ones with more horse power under the hood.
    Bur for daily use like chatting calling and going on internet or google maps its more then enoug.
    3GB ram is for daily use enough like calling chatting and basic apps. But is not much. especaily if u are multitasking or running ram houngry apps.

    Also without a case it cen feel a bit slippery in the hand. So i reccomend a case also for extra protection and then it feels alot better in hand.

    For the price this is an exelent all around phone. Works very good. And is very responsife.
    Recomend this for a rilaible budget phone.

    Pros
    • Very good battery 5000mAh
    • Very nice camera
    • Finger print works super good
    • SD card go up to 512GB
    • 15Watt fast charging from 15% to 100% in 2 hours
    • Dual Sim
    Cons
    • No Gorilla glas
    • No water drop risistance
    • Plastic Frame
    • Speaker is basic

  • Not bad but far from good

    First of all, the design is a matter of taste, personally it is not my favorite, the screen is not bad but for a Samsung, I expected something better although good for $ 175 dollars you can demand a little more, the construction does not seem the worst, it is normal , but I would have liked to see glass, although it feels comfortable in the hand.
    The performance seems somewhat disappointing to me, it lacks power although for basic use it is fine, an Exynos 9611 would have been much better, the day camera takes good photos, the video also looks good, at night it is not very good, it leaves something to be desired.
    The connectivity takes a good signal, the NFC and USB C are appreciated.
    The battery lasts more than a day, it is almost impossible that it is just a day which is a positive point, the load is 15w, it takes a long time to load but it is understandable.
    The software is very good and well optimized.
    Conclusion, I did not find it bad, but I expected more for the price range.

    Not highly recommended

    For now, the phone is not that good, in my experience its cameras are decent and the dual SIM are very useful; because in my country the connectivity is very uneven. On the other hand, for games it is not very good, there are some that can be played at 60 fps but for playing the most demanding games it is very bad

    • Dual SIM
    • Expandable SD card

    Resistant and comfortable to my liking

    The A21s is a pretty good cell phone for people who use it for everyday life, although it does not hold up to demanding games nor does it receive updates, it is very resistant and does hold up well to current Play Store titles. The truth is, if you already have it, it's fine, but don't buy it, better go for an A24, or look for something from other brands like a Redmi Note 12.

    Pros
    • Its resistance to falls (Screen and cover)
    • Comfortable
    • Excellent battery
    • The colors of the cover are pretty
    Cons
    • Little Ram for today
    • Fingerprints and scratches are noticeable on the cover.
    • Its screen is PLS LCD
    • Does not receive updates
    • Its price
    • Does not come with 5G

    Good for basic tasks

    It is a cell phone that performs very well for basic and day-to-day tasks. Another section that I really like is its camera and its photos during the day. It has many options thanks to Samsung's customization layer and also highlights its good battery, it lasts me a day without problems.

    Pros
    • Battery
    • Camera (day)
    • Phone options
    • Design
    Cons
    • Demanding gaming performance
    • Low RAM memory (apps close)
    • The back cover gets scratched very easily

    For people who only play Clash, great, very decent photos.

    The good: I love it in the hand. The photos surprise me for the day, the ultra-wide you cannot ask for more for that price, it is luxurious. 10 battery, charge and duration. always low temperature. Passable sound. Great memory management with a lot of things open. Audio jack. Triple tray for 2 sim + SD THE bad thing: in broad daylight... it's worth NOTHING. LIKE THE worst quality ips panel you can imagine. Impossible to use, forget about going down the street with the GPS or answering anything, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Tactile response on screen edges NULL many times or you grab it with both hands or if it is on the table the touch does not work no matter how many times you touch it. The same old shitty Samsung apps that you can't remove. For games like Clash and things like that, it's great, but don't ask for more, it's going to be jerky. Recommended if what I include in the bad thing you think doesn't affect you.

    Pros
    • Cameras and Ultra Angle
    • battery
    • screen surface
    • memory management
    • touch
    • triple tray
    Cons
    • gaming power

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
