Slim-Bodied Rugged Smartphones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Smartphone Offers Exceptional Ruggedness In a Compact Package

— July 28, 2021 — Tech
Finnish mobile phone manufacturer HMD Global, which is best known for its Nokia brand, has launched an extraordinarily rugged smartphone that is designed to easily brush off a wide range of physical punishment without compromising on its functioning.

The Nokia XR20 device is more than capable of withstanding falls from heights of 1.8 meters, remains fully functional even after being underwater for up to an hour and works without a hitch in extremely hot and cold temperatures. What's all the more impressive is the fact that this level of ruggedness is obtained from a phone that measures in at only 0.4 inches thick.

As far as specs are concerned, this rugged smartphone can be purchased with up to 6 GB of RAM and 120 GB of internal storage, while display is taken care off by a 6.67-inch Gorilla Glass Victus screen.

Available for prices starting at around $590, the Nokia XR20 is a high-quality mid-range phone that stands out due to military-grade toughness.
