Display and Rugged Build
The Nokia XR21 features a 6.49-inch FHD+ LCD panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 550 nits. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, and Nokia says the display can be operated even with wet hands — a practical advantage for outdoor and industrial users. The phone holds MIL-STD 810H certification for resistance to drops, extreme temperatures, and vibration, while its IP68 and IP69 ratings confirm full dust and water protection, including high-pressure water jets.
Camera and Performance
On the camera front, the Nokia XR21 pairs a 64MP primary sensor with an 8MP ultrawide lens and LED flash on the back. A 16MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. Processing duties fall to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip backed by 6GB of RAM, keeping everyday performance and 5G connectivity smooth. Extra-loud speakers are included for clear audio even in noisy outdoor environments.
Battery Life and Connectivity
A 4,800mAh battery powers the device, with 33W fast charging keeping downtime short. Connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, NavIC, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone ships with Android 12 out of the box. For more phones from the brand, visit the Nokia phones page.
