Yesterday, we shared images of the upcoming rugged phone from Nokia, and now its specifications surfaced. That’s not all, though. The source also confirmed the name of this handset, it’s not what was originally reported.
The Nokia XR21 will be the name of the company’s new rugged phone, and here are its specifications
The device appeared yesterday as the ‘Nokia Sentry 5G’, and everyone assumed it will be called the Nokia XR30. The Nokia XR20 launched back in 2021, so that’s why. It seems like the phone’s name will be the Nokia XR21, and not XR30.
This info comes from WinFuture, as does the spec list we’ll talk about. The Nokia XR21 won’t be a high-end smartphone, that much we knew. Still, its specs are nothing to scoff at, as long as the price is right.
Having said that, the phone will feature a 6.49-inch fullHD+ LCD display. It will be a 120Hz panel, and will be protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus. The Snapdragon 695 will fuel the phone.
You will also find 6GB of RAM on the inside, along with 128GB of storage. Android 12 will come pre-installed on the device, while the phone will also be IP68 certified for water and dust resistance.
A 4.800mAh battery will be included, while 33W charging will be supported
A 4,800mAh battery will power the device. 33W wired charging will also be included, but no wireless charging. A USB Type-C port will sit on the bottom, a 2.0 version of it. Bluetooth 5.1 will also be supported, as will WiFi 6.
The Nokia XR21 will include two cameras on the back. A 64-megapixel main camera (f/1.79 aperture) will be backed by an 8-megapixel zoom camera. You will also find two SIM card slots on the inside (+eSIM support), and an audio jack will also be included. The Nokia XR21 will weigh 235 grams.
The source also claims that Nokia will provide OS updates until May 2026, and security updates until May 2027. We still don’t know the price tag of the device, but it’s rumored to cost around $500. We’re not sure how accurate that is, so take that info with a grain of salt.
