Unboxing the Nokia XR20, possibly the toughest Android 5G smartphone of 2021, with a full tour of the specs, camera tech, gaming chops and more. You can grab the rugged Nokia XR20 SIM-free for £399 in the UK, available soon! Check out my reviews of other mid-range Android phones for alternative ideas.

Having passed a selection of MIL-STD 810H tests, this phone can handle drops of up to two metres and is IP68 water and dust resistant. You get a stock Android experience with three years of OS and four years of security updates, plus extra guarantees. Super peace of mind, there.

The Nokia XR20 isn't as impressive as some rivals like the OnePlus Nord 2 for the screen tech and performance, but it'll handle everyday shenanigans fine. You've got 5G support, while light gaming on CODM and PubG isn't a problem either. You can also expect long battery life while the camera can shoot good looking, vibrant photos.

So that's my hands-on review, let me know your thoughts below.
