It has a triple-camera array at the rear, featuring a 48MP primary sensor. The 48MP sensor is joined by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 5MP depth sensor. For selfies, the Galaxy M21 sports a 20MP front-facing camera, a major upgrade over the 8MP camera on the Galaxy M20.
In addition to the camera upgrades, the Galaxy M21 also comes with a larger battery than its predecessor. It features a massive 6,000mAh battery and supports 15W fast charging. The Galaxy M21 also offers a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
