Editorial report
Nokia XR21 technical sheet
The Nokia XR21 suits buyers looking for a rugged phone with broad connectivity, but its weight and thickness, modest screen brightness, and lower-than-most battery capacity are clear trade-offs. It has IP68, IP69, and IP69K protection and meets MIL-STD-810H, giving buyers who prioritize resistance a notable set of protections.
Connectivity is better than most phones of its time: it supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, eSIM, and two SIMs. The 6.49″ IPS LCD display has 406 ppi, a higher pixel density than most contemporaries, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness of 550 nits and a 77% screen-to-body ratio are worse than most. Gorilla Glass Victus and Always-On Display round out the screen features.
The 64 MP rear camera resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time, and an 8 MP ultrawide camera adds a wider perspective; optical image stabilization is absent. The Snapdragon 695, 6 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage are lower than most, though storage is expandable. The 4,800 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 33 W fast charging is typical. At 231 g and 10.5 mm thick, the phone is heavy and thick. Its overall NeoScore is 5.7, typical of its time. At a typical launch price, it is fairly priced for what it is.
