Syma has put together two very similar drones in the X20 and X21. They are both pocket-sized drones that have altitude hold. You can opt for the small X21 or the tiny X20.
The Syma X21 checks in at 5.3 inches by 5.3 inches (13.5 x 13.5 cm) when measuring to the tips of the propeller guards. The smaller Syma X20 is just 4.1 by 4.1 inches (10.5 x 10.5 cm). You’ll get very similar features on both drones. Both utilize altitude hold which helps stabilize the drone in the air. Both have automatic take-off and landing as well as headless mode. You can flip either drone with the push of a button.
Syma has an excellent reputation for building durable high-quality drones. Both the X20 and X21 are well-built drones with the added protection of propeller guards. Neither drone has a camera, but that is one less component a beginner flyer needs to worry about when they are learning to fly.
The remotes of the two drones are also different. The smaller X20 has a small pocket-sized remote. The X20 remote is roughly 5 inches wide by 3 inches tall (12.5 x 8 cm). The larger X21 remote is 5.1 inches wide by 4.3 inches tall (13 x 11.5 cm).
Because of their small size, the X20 and X21 are good drones for flying indoors. Neither is well suited for outdoor flight on windy days. The X21 will be a more powerful drone and may handle a light breeze better than the smaller X210. If you are looking for a small but fun beginner drone that is simple to operate and durable then you should take a look at the X20 and X21.
