Samsung Galaxy A21s review

Not sure why you guys like the HDR mode on modern phones so much. There's nothing here that can't be done better with the Shadow/Highlight tool in Photoshop, without any masking or selection required. There's no computational photography going on and no image stacking, just unintelligently raising the darks and lowering the highlights. Literally flattening the dynamic range of the image rather than increasing it and making it look bland and washed out.

            I was offered either the SAMSUNG A30S, A21S or the Huawei P40 Lite to upgrade to.

            My question is this to all out there. Which of these phones are the better one and in which way are the one better than the other, other than overheating for the A30S and no play store application, what other downfalls are there on all of them. I have read all of the comments about the A30, A21S P40 Lite but it was not very clear.

              And yet this will still sell better than any of the other, better offerings because it's Samsung.
              Pay more, get less.

                In Poland this phone costs 231$, it's a joke. There are many better phones to buy in this price.

                  I get the point of an affordable phone like this. But if it has to be cheap, why go through gimmicks like punch holes and the needless complications it creates on the screen around it? Why not have a simple, minimal bezel and reduce costs and complications? At the same time, why not have a smaller screen, less weight and reduce costs further?

                    It's identical to Samsung phones. Although I only have the Samsung j4+ the camera is great on bright areas.

                      I like the camera of the a21s on daylight. It brightens the subject without background overexposure. The sky and the clouds stays the same, they are beautiful.

                        Just bought one of the Galaxy a21s today, very pleased with it so far! It feels good in the hand and also looks good. I would highly recommend this phone!

                          At this point, Samsung is not even trying anymore.

                            You should've added redmi note 9 to the alternatives since it matches the price of a21s.

                              Sadly, the screen is a bummer
