Comparison review
The Galaxy S5 Sport has a score of 77.8, which is just a bit better than Galaxy A21's 76.1 overall score. The Galaxy S5 Sport design is lighter than Galaxy A21, but it's a little bit thicker and was released many years before. Both phones we are comparing here work with Android operating system, but Galaxy S5 Sport has a newer 4.4.2 version and Galaxy A21 has Android 10, so it provides you a lot of extra features and enhanced performance.
The Galaxy S5 Sport counts with a little bit better performance than Galaxy A21, because although it has an inferior number of cores (although they are faster) and a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with an additional graphics processor. Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport features a lot better looking display than Galaxy A21, because although it has a way smaller screen, it also counts with a much better display pixels density and a higher resolution of 1920 x 1080px.
The Galaxy S5 Sport features a little bit better camera than Samsung Galaxy A21, because although it has a tinier aperture which is worse for low light images and videos, and they both have a back camera with a 16 mega-pixels resolution, the Galaxy S5 Sport also counts with a lot higher 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and a larger back-facing camera sensor which provides a higher photo and video quality.
Galaxy A21 features a very superior memory to install applications and games than Galaxy S5 Sport, because it has a slot for SD memory cards that supports up to 512 GB and 32 GB internal memory. Galaxy A21 has a very superior battery duration than Galaxy S5 Sport, because it has a 43% larger battery size.
Although Galaxy S5 Sport is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the 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 want that extra specs and features, you can buy the Galaxy S5 Sport, otherwise you can save some money and buy the Samsung Galaxy A21, resigning a couple features and specifications.
