Nokia XR21 Overview:

Design and Display

On the display side of things, you get a 6.49-inch LCD panel with Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Likewise, users can also use the screen with wet hands and gloves for more convenience. On top of that, Nokia is providing a one-year free screen replacement and three years warranty on this smartphone.

Performance

The smartphone gets its horsepower from a Snapdragon 695 chipset. This 6nm-based SoC from 2021 supports 5G connectivity and features two Cortex A78 cores at 2.2GHz and six Cortex A55 cores at 1.8GHz. It is accompanied by an Adreno 619L GPU.Memory-wise, you get a sole 6/128GB variant with UFS 2.1. While the phone boots on Android 12 with three years of OS updates and 4 years of security updates promised by the company.

Camera

Moving to the optics, a rugged phone usually doesn't emphasize much on this segment. Still, the XR21 houses a dual camera setup led by a 64MP main shooter and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. On the front side, there is a 16MP snapper for selfies and video calls.
