Nokia XR20 Launch in India
Does the fact that Nokia has released its first rugged smartphone come as a surprise to anyone? I wouldn’t say that. Only a few weeks after Motorola Defy relaunched, HMD Global, which now controls the Nokia brand, realised the potential of that tiny but burgeoning market. The end result is the Nokia XR20, which surfaced on the internet recently powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and boasts a rugged design.
In India, Nokia has launched a new rugged smartphone that is specifically built to withstand the rigours of the outdoors. The Nokia XR20, which was announced on October 18, has a military-grade design, a 5G chipset, twin back cameras, a large battery, and water resistance. According to the manufacturer, the smartphone can withstand temperatures ranging from 55 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius, drops of up to 1.8 metres, and immersion in water for up to one hour. Here is everything that you must know before making your final decision.
