Since Android 4.0, Google has added a feature called Factory Reset Protection, more commonly known as FRP. It was designed to protect your phone's data from intruders if your phone is ever lost or stolen.

It's considered the last line of security in case primary authentication methods such as the Face ID, fingerprint, PIN, password, and pattern locks are all breached.

In this guide, we'll show you how you can bypass FRP on Samsung A21s devices (SM-A217F and A217M models).

So, if you own a Samsung A21 that's FRP-locked, read on to learn more.

The Samsung A21s models were released in June 2020 and run the Android 10 operating system. Display-wise, the Samsung A21s has a 6.5-inch, HD+ display with a 720p resolution.

It uses an AMOLED display technology that's a standard on most flagship Samsung models. Its selfie camera is found on the top edge and comprises Samsung's Infinity-O Display.

The Samsung A21s comes with a new, built-in Exynos 850 octa-core chipset and is available on 3 to 6 GB RAM options.
