Comparison review
The Huawei nova 5T has an overall score of 80.8, which is just a bit better than Galaxy A21's 76.1 global score. Both of these devices include the same Android 10 OS (operating system), so you shouldn't notice any difference in that aspect. The Huawei nova 5T body is just a little lighter and a little bit thinner than the Galaxy A21, despite of the fact that it was released about 9 months before.
Huawei nova 5T counts with a brighter screen than Galaxy A21, because although it has a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a lot more pixels per screen inch and a way better 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution. Huawei nova 5T has a bit better processor than Galaxy A21, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Huawei nova 5T also has more RAM.
The Huawei nova 5T features a slightly better storage capacity to store more games and applications than Galaxy A21, because although it has no SD extension slot, it also counts with more internal memory. Huawei nova 5T features a much better camera than Galaxy A21, and although they both have a F1.8 aperture, the Huawei nova 5T also has a lot bigger camera sensor shooting much higher quality photos, a way higher 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and a camera in the back with a much better resolution.
Galaxy A21 counts with a bit longer battery lifetime than Huawei nova 5T, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity instead of 3750mAh.
Although Huawei nova 5T is a better device, it is way more expensive than Samsung Galaxy A21, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Samsung Galaxy A21. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy the Huawei nova 5T, else you can save some money and buy the Samsung Galaxy A21, letting go a couple features and specifications.
