Taking a look at the spec sheets of both the Galaxy M21 and the Galaxy M30s, we struggled to find the differences between these two devices. The newer Galaxy M21 gets a 20-megapixel selfie shooter which is a higher resolution compared to the 16-megapixel sensor on the Galaxy M30s. The Galaxy M21 also gets One UI 2.0 running on top of Android 10, while the Galaxy M30s was running One UI 1.5 on top of Android 9 Pie at the time of our review. Currently the Galaxy M21 is cheaper by Rs. 2,300 compared to the Galaxy M30s.
Camera Specification
Samsung has gone with a triple camera setup on the Galaxy M21, and it is identical to what you get with the Galaxy M30s. The primary camera has a 48-megapixel sensor with an f/2.0 aperture. There’s also an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with an f/2.2 aperture, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. The camera UI is easy to use. It has a scene optimiser that can detect what the camera is pointed towards and set the phone up accordingly. Other than the regular photo and video modes, it has a Live Focus, Pro, Night, Food, Super Slow-Mo and a few more.
What is Google Camera (Gcam)!
If you’re a mobile photography lover then you should know about the GCam app. But if you don’t know, then the Google Camera app offers plenty of useful features like Portrait mode, AR Stickers, Google Lens suggestion, PhotoSphere, Lens Blur, Night Sight, HDR+ enhanced, RAW image support, and more. All of these features can also be found on other stock camera apps but they can’t be so effective when it comes to the performance.
The Google Camera app simply delivers the best in the class image and video quality even in low lighting conditions. The portrait mode, saturation level, brightness level, exposure, dynamic range, background blur effect with nice edge detection, etc are properly maintained on the images taken from the GCam app. Form the very first use, you can start noticing the difference.
