Nokia XR21 will have IP69K Certification
Nokia has joined the rugged smartphone market with its latest offering, the XR21, which has achieved MIL-STD-810H military-grade and IP69K certification – the highest IP protection against water and dust. The IP69K rating specifically denotes that the Nokia XR21 is resistant to close-range, high-pressure and high-temperature spray downs.
The device boasts a 6.49-inch IPS LCD screen with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, covered with the toughest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection available, and can even be used with wet hands or gloves. Powering the phone is the Snapdragon 695 SoC paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
On the back of the XR21 are a 64MP f/1.8 primary camera and an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide lens, while the front has a 16MP f/2.5 selfie camera. The phone has a 4,800mAh battery with support for 33W charging, and unfortunately comes with Android 12 out of the box.
However, Nokia has promised to provide monthly security updates for up to four years and three major Android OS upgrades. The Nokia XR21 will be available in Midnight Black and Pine Green colors, starting at £499 in the UK, with the release slated for early June. No word yet on its international availability.
