And I think this is due to the lack of communication from Xiaomi, who doesn't take these rumors seriously. Then there is quality control, xiaomi have none, and in my country, xiaomi's customer services are almost none existant. So people try to stay away from them. The problem is that Samsung aren't innocent at all, they have good quality control and services, but the materials they use in their mid-range devices, especially the M series, are super cheap, but people wouldn't notice that.

Xiaomi service asked him to pay ₹12,000. At that price he purchased M21 and till now nothing has happened. He feels Samsung’s UI is better than MIUI.

        It's a great phone for someone who want great display, battery life and good camera, and don't care for fast multitasking. Soc can handle everything, it's not lagy, just opening pages slower. Also price of about 220€ is great.

            At this price it will fight against Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 and its Realme counter part.
            A bit uphill battle, but samsung name, battery, decent SoC (for non heavy gamer), and amoled screen should be enough arsenal against higher SoC in Note 9

                        I am happy with my S10 but I'd get A51/71 instead because no curved edges and still triple camera (but i think no telephoto lens).

                          M Series started fine and now, Samsung is doing what it’s known for-Overdoing and flooding the market with phones of no value or reason. Exynos chips just rub salt to the wounds of many who trust in the brand.

                            Beware guys this mobile has Worst Network Reception. My realme show full network strength (4bars) but the same sim in galaxy m21 shows no or 1 or 2 bars...
