Summary

  • The Celkon A21 features a larger 4.0-inch TFT display compared to the 3.5-inch screen of the Huawei U8650 Sonic, both with the same resolution but differing pixel density, giving the A21 a slight edge in size.
  • In terms of performance, both devices have 512MB of RAM, but the A21 is powered by a quad-core processor, potentially offering better multitasking capabilities than the single-core setup in the U8650.
  • Both phones have a 3.15 MP rear camera, but the U8650 lacks a front camera, while the A21 includes a 1.3 MP selfie option.
  • The A21 also has a slightly larger battery capacity at 1500 mAh compared to the U8650's 1400 mAh.
  • Software-wise, the A21 runs on a newer Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) versus the older Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) on the U8650, providing a more updated user experience.
  • Build quality shows the A21 is slightly lighter and thinner than the U8650, which may affect handling comfort.
