Nokia has just ventured into the world of rugged smartphones with its military certified MIL-STD-810H and IP69K XR21 smartphone, which is the highest IP protection against water and dust. In fact, the “9K” at the end indicates that the Nokia XR21 is capable of withstanding short-range, high-pressure, and high-temperature splashes.
The display gets one of the toughest Corning protectors currently available: Gorilla Glass Victus glass plate. Behind it is a 6.49-inch IPS LCD screen with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Works even with gloves and wet hands.
The Snapdragon 695 SoC takes the lead, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The rear has two cameras: a 64MP f/1.8 main and an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide unit. At the front is a 16MP f/2.5 selfie camera.
The phone is powered by a 4,800mAh battery that supports 33W charging, but unfortunately the XR21 comes with Android 12 out of the box. The good news is that Nokia promises 4 years of monthly security updates and 3 major Android OS updates. A
