The Galaxy A21s, which was exclusively confirmed by SamMobile over four months ago, is nonetheless nowhere to be found on the market place, but it is drawing nearer to release with every passing calendar week. The phone has already been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, the FCC, and Bluetooth SIG over the by iv weeks, and now the Galaxy A21s appears to have secured another document ahead of its eluding release.

The Galaxy A21s has been certified by Thailand regulatory body NBTC where the phone unsurprisingly carries model number SM-A217F. Aside from Dual-SIM and LTE capabilities, the agency doesn't shed whatever more light on the phone's hardware, merely that'south non to say that the Milky way A21s holds many secrets.

Expect a focus on a large battery, and maybe a new Exynos SoC

One of the more exciting things about the yet-to-exist-announced Galaxy A21s is that it might be introduced forth with a new Exynos SoC. At least according to an early benchmark, the Galaxy A21s features an unannounced Eynos 850 chipset, paired with 3GB of RAM. But aside from having 8 cores, this silicon's characteristics are unknown. There'southward a college-than-usual aura of anticipation surrounding this upkeep phone, merely the Exynos 850 has been rather elusive and then far, so only time volition tell if the early benchmark listing was correct.

While this particular is unmentioned by Thailand'south NBTC, the Galaxy A21s should also feature a v,000mAh battery. Samsung has been equipping its mid-range devices with decently-sized batteries for a while, and the Milky way A21s won't go against this philosophy. Final year's Galaxy A20s carries a 4,000mAh unit, so a 1,000mAh crash-land is rather expected.
