Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro's processor is just as good as Samsung Galaxy M21's CPU, both have 4 GB of RAM memory and the same number of cores. The Galaxy M21 has a little bit better screen than Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro, because although it has a bit lower pixel density, and they both have an equal resolution of 1080 x 2340px, the Galaxy M21 also counts with a little larger screen.
Galaxy M21 shoots much clearer photos and videos than Galaxy XCover Pro, because although it has a smaller camera aperture which is worse for taking images or video in low-light situations, it also counts with a much better 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, a back-facing camera with much more mega pixels and a way larger sensor shooting way higher quality videos and photographs.
