Editorial report
HMD XR21 6 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet
The HMD XR21 suits buyers looking for a rugged phone with broad connectivity, though its weight and weaker points in brightness and battery capacity make it less balanced. It has IP68, IP69 and IP69K protection alongside MIL-STD-810H certification. It resists water and dust (IP68, IP69 and IP69K) as well as impacts and drops (MIL-STD-810H), and weighs 231 g.
Its 6.49-inch IPS LCD display runs at 120 Hz and has a pixel density of 406 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. Peak brightness, at 550 nits, is lower than most. Connectivity is a standout: the XR21 supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and eSIM, with room for two Nano-SIM cards as well as an eSIM. This puts its connectivity ahead of most phones launched around the same time.
The 64 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time, but its 1/2″ sensor is smaller than most, and optical image stabilization is absent. An 8 MP ultrawide camera is also included. Its 4,800 mAh battery has less capacity than most; 33 W fast charging is typical. This version has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. At 231 g, it is heavier than most, while its overall standing is typical. With a NeoScore of 5.6 and a price that is expensive for what it offers, the XR21 is a better fit for buyers who prioritize toughness and connectivity over a light build or higher battery capacity.
