We compared the specifications of these three devices in order to let you find out which one is the best for your needs.

Design

If you prefer to have the most modern and beautiful design, choose the Redmi Note 10 5G by Xiaomi. It is the only one that features a punch-hole display instead of an ugly waterdrop notch. Further, it is a thinner and lighter phone than those two Samsung budget phones. It also features a side-mounted fingerprint reader and the Gorilla Glass 3 protection for the front glass. All the devices come with a polycarbonate body instead of premium materials, and the Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition is the most compact due to its smaller display.

 

Display

If you desire a more premium display, choose the Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition. It is the only one sporting an AMOLED display that shows more brilliant colors and deeper blacks. Unfortunately, it does not have a high refresh rate, but the image quality is more impressive if compared to its two rivals. Redmi Note 10 5G and Samsung Galaxy A22 5G have 90 Hz refresh rates, but they come with LCD panels. The Redmi Note 10 5G is better than Galaxy A22 5G in terms of image quality, but the Galaxy A22 5G has a wider display.

 

Hardware/Software

The MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset found on the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G and the Redmi Note 10 5G is a better SoC than the Samsung Exynos 9611 found on the Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition. The winner of the hardware comparison is the Redmi Note 10 5G: both this handset and the Galaxy A22 5G feature up to 8 GB of RAM, but the Redmi Note 10 5G adds up to 256 GB of faster UFS 2.2 internal storage. Unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition has a processor built with a worse production process and without 5G support.

 

Camera

The most interesting camera department belongs to the Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition. The important difference is not the main camera (a 48 MP sensor in each case), but the secondary sensors. The Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition has a better 8 MP ultrawide camera and even a better 5 MP depth sensor than the other devices in this comparison. It is even equipped with a way better 20 MP front camera (instead of the low-end 8 MP selfie snapper of Redmi Note 10 5G and Samsung Galaxy A22 5G).

 

Battery

The Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition packs a bigger battery and it is able to provide a longer battery life thanks to a capacity of 6000 mAh.

 

Samsung Galaxy A22 5G vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G vs Samsung Galaxy M21 2021 Edition: Price
