Samsung Galaxy A21s price in Malaysia starts from RM899, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood is an Exynos 850 chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage, enough for everyday apps and browsing without much fuss. The 6.5-inch PLS TFT display runs at 720 x 1600, so it's a HD+ panel rather than full HD, but it covers most of the front with a 20:9 aspect ratio.

The quad camera setup leads with a 48MP main sensor, backed by an 8MP ultrawide, plus 2MP macro and depth lenses for portrait shots. Up front there's a 13MP selfie camera. Battery capacity is where this phone earns its keep: a 5000 mAh cell with 15W fast charging should get most users through a full day and then some.

It ships with Android 10 and One UI 2.0 on top, along with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC, and a dedicated microSD slot for extra storage. At 192g and 8.9mm thick, it's not the slimmest device around, but the tradeoff is that bigger battery.
