Display
The Nokia XR21 is a successor to the rugged XR20 and comes with a bigger display, a 64MP rear camera, and a 16MP front-facing camera. The phone has a 6.49-inch IPS LCD screen with a 1080 x 2400 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection and is powered by a 4800mAh battery. The device is certified for MIL-STD 810H military-grade durability and can be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters deep for an hour. It can also withstand temperatures from as cold as minus 20 degrees Celsius to as hot as 55 degrees Celsius. The phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. The company says it is made from 100% recycled aluminum, and has stereo speakers with OZO playback. It has 96 dB of loudness and has an Audio boost mode for noisy environments.

The Nokia XR21 is the brand's latest rugged smartphone, and it's built to MIL-STD-810H specifications. It's capable of surviving a drop from 1.8-meters, an hour submerged in 1.5-meters of water and even being blasted with 100-bar jets of water. Interestingly, HMD has also kept the 3.5mm headphone jack, something you don't often see on waterproof phones.
The XR21 will ship with Android 12 and promises four years of monthly security updates. It also promises three years of OS upgrades, although that's a bit confusing since the phone is already playing catch-up with Android 13. The dual-SIM device will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G SoC paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.1 storage. It will have a 64-megapixel primary rear camera paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera that's housed in a center-aligned hole-punch display. The XR21 will also have a 4,800mAh battery and support 33W wired charging speeds.
Battery
The original Nokia 3310 is one of the most iconic phones of all time thanks to its epic battery life and ludicrous durability. HMD Global, which now owns the brand, is hoping to replicate that success with its latest smartphone - the Nokia XR21. This rugged handset is designed to ease phone-xiety - the fear of damaging or dropping your device. It has been built with MIL-STD-810H durability and can withstand drops, dust, water submersion and extreme temperatures. The Nokia XR21 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G processor and has a 4800mAh battery that promises up to two days of use between charges. It also supports 33W fast charging, meaning it will be able to top up in a fraction of the time that other rugged phones take. It is available in either Midnight Black or Pine Green and comes with three years of manufacturer warranty, four years of monthly security updates and three Android OS upgrades.
