The Google Nexus 6P design is a little bit lighter and a little bit thinner than the Galaxy A21, although it was released 5 years before. The Google Nexus 6P has a much better screen than Galaxy A21, because although it has a little bit smaller screen, it also counts with a much higher resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and a much higher pixel quantity per display inch.
The Google Nexus 6P counts with a bit bigger memory for apps and games than Samsung Galaxy A21, because although it has no slot for SD memory cards, it also counts with 96 GB more internal storage. The Samsung Galaxy A21 counts with a little better processing power than Google Nexus 6P. Both of them have 8 processing cores and the same RAM memory amount.
Galaxy A21 features just a little bit longer battery performance than Google Nexus 6P, because it has a 4000mAh battery size against 3450mAh. The Google Nexus 6P shoots clearer videos and photos than Galaxy A21, because although it has a way less MP resolution back-facing camera and a tinier aperture which is not good for low light photography and video, it also counts with a lot bigger back camera sensor which provides a lot better image and video quality and a lot better 3840x2160 video definition.
Although Google Nexus 6P is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Galaxy A21, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Galaxy A21. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the Google Nexus 6P, else you can save a couple dollars and get the Galaxy A21, giving up some features and specs.
