![]() However, the 64MP camera with AI is better than the XR20’s and I might even say close to the X30’s. The cameras have been improved, although there is no ZEISS lens technology anymore. You can definitely use it for meetings at the office and mountain hikes on the weekend. The phone is sleeker than the XR20, and it looks like the best rugged smartphone you can get on the market. The good stuffĪs I mentioned earlier, the XR series has become a bit sleeker and the XR21 is now easier to use. I feel that the rotation of the motor can be adjusted with software updates to give it a more premium feel (rotation?), and that is something Nokia Mobile should do immediately. The second comment is about the haptic motor, which is definitely not the one used in the Nokia X30 or XR20, and it doesn’t belong in this price range. I thought this phone was supposed to be an upgrade from the previous model, not a downgrade. The XR20 had many options you could assign to the button, and the XR21 only has a couple of them. There are two buttons that you can use, the top red one that you can set for some emergencies, and the left larger one that was used for Google Assistant, or the thing that you’d turn off immediately after setting up the phone. The first is the number of functions that can be added to the programmable keys. ![]() The rantsīesides the design, there are only two other negative comments I need to address. The back looks good and softness of textured back rubber backed with ribbed sides will ensued you have a tight grip of the phone. I got the device in black colour, and I like more that pine green which I suggest all to go for. I’m very happy to see that the phone and the rest are packaged in recyclable paper, and that’s commendable. Since ecology plays a big role in the mass economy, the Nokia XR21 comes without the charging brick in the box, but the box finally meets modern standards that call for the reduction of short-term plastic. Also, there is no MicroSD card slot nor wireless charging… The boxīut before I dive a little deeper, let me tell you about the boxing. OK the processor is definitely better, the same SD695 5G as in the X30, but the screen is again LCD, albeit sharper than the XR20, the design feels a bit cheap and less thought out compared to the XR20, and the haptic motor definitely doesn’t belong to this series. ![]() The design has been brought in line with the current portfolio, making the XR series less clunky and less oversized, but the rest could be considered a downgrade from the XR20. Although I expected it to be something like the Nokia X30 and better, since the XR20 was a better equipped phone than the X20, Nokia Mobile surprised me and the entire community. The device itself had been in the pipeline for a long time, and Nokia Mobile had to redesign its strongest device to be more in line with the current portfolio. The Nokia XR21 was already announced at the beginning of May 2023 as the successor of the well-packaged Nokia XR20. ![]()
