Nokia XR20 launch

Today, HMD Global has launched its first rugged 5G smartphone the Nokia XR20 in the new XR series, as expected. It is a waterproof smartphone with an IP68 rating and has a sleek casing that is made to the MIL-STD-810H military standard, 1.5m drop protection, and can be submerged to depths of 1.5m for 30 minutes. The company says that this phone was built for conditions far harsher than the rough and tumble of everyday life.
