2-minute Review [Positives]	Looks snazzy - the plastic chassis is finished in 2 colour gradient, which fades from a darker to a lighter shade as you cast your eyes downward The front has pleasingly rounded edges and slimline bezels with a tear-drop notch that look striking, for a phone at this price Decent fingerprint sensor at the back Vibrant, large 6.5-inches IPS display - the images on the screen have a good amount of pop thanks to the display’s reasonably high contrast Motorola continues to keep the software on it's phones clean, and simple - it's basically stock Android with a few useful Moto add-ons Decent performance from the dated MediaTek Helio P35 - the phone feels fast when jumping from app to app and there's no issue in regular use, thanks to the clean and light software Motorola uses Good triple rear camera setup - a 16MP primary module, a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor The primary camera takes decent photos in daylight conditions and the HDR image processing also does a good job at boosting the saturation of the scene and images have a pop in them Low-light shooting is surprisingly good for the price - images appear bright, and the camera does an excellent job of teasing textures out from the shadows without adding too much visual noise The macro camera is a lot of fun to play around with - it’s capable of capturing intricate details on the smallest objects, from a macro distance of 2 cm The 8MP selfie camera does a good job at taking clear sharp photos and it also offers a selfie portrait mode, which works well Excellent battery life from the 5000 mAh battery - a full charge will easily last you for 2 days of regular use The Motorola Power Lite offers clear software, excellent battery and a good set of cameras for the price, if that's all you're looking for, it does the job well	Looks sleek and eye-catching with its iridescent finish - the plastic back has this rainbow-like effect The front looks trendy with minimal screen bezels and an unobtrusive hole-punch in the top-left corner Samsung has gotten the software part on point with its recent launches, with it's new One UI, that's now one of the better, more streamlined Android skins around - it's especially well suited for big displays like this, packs an intuitive gesture navigation system, and other useful things like a convenient 'dark mode' Good quadruple-camera array - a primary 48MP lens, supported by an 8MP ultra-wide angle unit, 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor The Galaxy A21s manages to take a pretty good picture from the primary camera - it produces wonderfully detail-rich images with plenty of vibrancy Live Focus mode (portrait mode) allows adjusting the level of blur either before, or after, you press the shutter button, and the results are good Macro mode is also a lot of fun - it captures some crisp closeups Excellent battery life with the 5000 mAh cell - combined with a low-res screen and a power-efficient CPU, it would easily last you for 2 days of moderate use Supports 15W fast charging
2-minute Review [Negatives]	At 200g, the phone is reasonably hefty It also picks up greasy fingerprints a little too easily Sunlight legibility isn't great However, this is not the most powerful phone at this price and gaming on this phone is a no go - the Realme Narzo 10A and C3 both offer outstanding performance at this price No fast charging However, if you want a bit more power in your phone the Narzo 10A is an excellent phone at this price, though it's not for stock Android lovers	Average 6.5-inch TFT LCD - the HD resolution is rather low for a phone at this price, and the colour reproduction isn't great The Galaxy A21s is powered by Samsung's new Exynos 850 chipset, which gets things done and that's about it - it doesn't compete with the powerful processor other phones offer and heavy games are a no go Overall, the Galaxy A21s has quite capable cameras, though they aren't the class-leading On the whole, while the Galaxy A21s is a fashionable choice for the price bracket, and does exceptionally well with battery life and a decent set of cameras - however, it falls a bit behind in terms of performance and display - you will find better all-round options from the likes of Xiaomi, Realme and Motorola
