HMD Global once created a distinct identity by launching Nokia phones with strong build quality. Unbreakable if dropped, head will explode if thrown – these were the adjectives associated with Nokia handsets. In that case, now the Finnish company has launched a smartphone in tune with the current market, which will remind of this tradition, but again without the Nokia brand name! In fact, HMD Global has recently taken the wraps off its first rugged smartphone, the HMD XR21. It is actually the rebranded version of the Nokia XR21 smartphone launched last year, which has been re-launched with a new name.
According to the company's claim, this phone will not be damaged even if it is submerged in water or dropped from a height, as it is MIL-STD-810H military grade certified. The phone also has IP69K certification, which will protect it from water and dust. Let's know the price and key features of HMD XR21 phone.
