Nokia's new smartphone could be one of the most durable phones in the world
Nokia, which we are more accustomed to seeing with entry and mid-segment models in the smartphone world, will introduce us to a completely different device this time.
In search of a smartphone that can withstand a rough handling while still performing efficiently? If your answer is affirmative, the Nokia XR21 might just be what you need. This robust device was first introduced in the UK last month and has now made its debut in the US. It boasts a solid build with an IP69K rating, display protection by Gorilla Glass Victus, and MIL-STD-810H certification. Let's dive deeper into its features.
HMD Global's latest addition to the rugged smartphone family is the Nokia XR21, and they dub it as 'indestructible.' While this is quite an assertive declaration, the phone does exhibit features to back this claim. It comes equipped with MIL-STD 810H military-grade durability and carries an IP68 waterproof rating. In addition to this, it also holds an IP69K certification, guaranteeing resistance against dust, water, and accidental falls. The device sports a 6.49-inch LCD display shielded with Gorilla Glass Victus.

The phone draws its power from a 4,800mAh battery, supporting 33W fast charging, and runs on Android 12 OS right out of the box. It also comes with a commitment to three years of OS and four years of security updates.
