Google Pixel 6a's design is extremely newer and just a little bit lighter than Samsung Galaxy A21's, although it is just a little bit thicker.
Galaxy A21 features a way better processing power than Google Pixel 6a, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a higher number of cores (and faster). The Google Pixel 6a counts with just a bit better screen than Galaxy A21, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a way better count of pixels per inch of display and a lot better 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution.

Although Google Pixel 6a is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Samsung Galaxy A21, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Samsung Galaxy A21. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy Google Pixel 6a, otherwise you can save some dollars and buy the Samsung Galaxy A21, letting go some specs and features.
