First the bad. When opening an app I find there is a very slight delay before you can begin pressing on the screen.
The good. Been using it in rain and outside when its -15. This phone works very well and the sound is pretty good. I am hoping it will last me a long time. I find the GPS on this phone seems more accurate than most phones I have used and this helps with some thing I do at work. Noticed slightly better connectivity than my ASUS ROG phone 1 but hard to tell without benchmarking both together.

I’ll start with the good: the screen is crisp, sharp, and transitions very smoothly. The speakers are genuinely loud when at full volume. The camera is acceptable with above average software powering it on the back end.
My previous phones so you have a point of context are the Motorola Edge and Huawei P30.
The back and sides are coated in a rubber, which feels good in the hands (case is still probably a good idea) and it will likely reduce that pitting that happens on the aluminum over time. The finger print sensor is on the power button (on the right side) which is reliable with the right thumb and fairly unreliable with any other finger in any other position than straight parallel to the device. It is a minor inconvenience given the phone’s large size.
And it is that: large. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it is long, wide, and heavy (relatively). The additional buttons on the phone are useful, but I find the left button (which I assigned to flashlight, but it is pretty adaptable) taps easy in the pocket due to the size of the device. The top button is harder to press, and I haven’t had any issues with it. They are still nice to have an advantage to the phone. To address the survivability, I haven’t tested it, but it was a reason I bought it. I still use a case and screen protector. Options were limited for those, but I was able to find both without much issue.
Internally, the software is standard android. There are not many additional features added by Nokia that I interact with on the front end.
I do want to mention that it is strange that the phone does not offer micro sd or usb3 compatibility. Its one of those things where if its needed, its really needed.
In the end there is nothing objectively wrong with the phone. However considering the mid tier nature of the phone in almost every way, I wound up paying right around 575 after tax, and all I feel is: “yeah, it’s fine”. Besides from durability, it doesn’t do anything else overwhelmingly well.
If the phone was 400-450, I would have a higher opinion. The value-to-performance-to-cost relationship would line up a little better. Fine for a better price would be better than fine.

Firstly, I got this $100 less straight from Nokia’s store page. I’m replacing my old 8.3 5G since it’s impossible to get a legit battery replacement for that thing anymore, which is something to consider buying a less popular brand like Nokia.
In terms of specs the $400 I paid feels about right. You get a few nice features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and two auxiliary buttons that you can choose various functions for, though I would hesitate to call them ‘programmable’. The chip inside isn’t top of the line but it’s enough to make use of the 120Hz screen while playing all your NSFW anime mobile games.
The lack of an SD card slot is a huge miss. I don’t know what the use case is in europe but surely that would be more useful than dual SIM or one of the programmable buttons? Especially for a phone marketed to outdoorsy people.

This phone is not for Verizon. The title is misleading and amazon has kept my money for over a month.

So, I was excited about this phone because of the no flicker display. That is the biggest selling point which for some reason Nokia doesn’t market at all. The storage I was sad about but here it lists “MicroSD Expansion 512gb”.
That’s not true. There is no MicroSD expansion. You just use google drive which is paid and… same as any android device? I otherwise would have given it five stars if they weren’t lying. Disappointing.
I don’t know who is head of marketing at Nokia but it’s obvious they don’t know what they’re doing if they don’t spot check their top of the line phone on the official store.
Update 2023: they fixed the spec sheet.

Horrible phone from a horrible and deceptive company in HMD! Do not confuse them with the original Nokia! This phone can only make calls over 2g! YES! I SAID 2G!!!!! Are you kidding me!? NO VOLTE!!!??? REALLY HMD!!!??? I went to settings and turned off 2g and guess what!? I was not able to make calls or receive them! This is 2023!!! Shame on HMD for doing this!! I am on Mint which uses T-Mobile towers. In April 2024 2g will be shut down, so guess what that means?! The XR21 will be USELESS for phone calls! I also heard HMD is in some kind of dispute with volte technology and has stopped supporting it. Shame on HMD for being deceptive and not informing the customers. No wonder my phone does not work! Do yourselves a favor and do not buy this phone! If you bought it, return it as I did because it will be worthless from April 2024! Shame on HMD for selling defective products and deceiving its customers!!

Crazy title I know but hear me out…I purchased from Nokia directly but wanted to review here on Amazon. I’m coming from the XR20 and no, the 21 is not the latest and greatest in hardware or even a massive upgrade from the XR20. The 6gb RAM is the same and middle of the road overall spec wise but more than enough for me… the snapdragon 695 isn’t a beast but is an upgrade over the 480 on the XR20 and is more than adequate for everything but heavy gaming. The screen, especially with the 120hz refresh rate is nice. It’s not AMOLED but smooth as can be. Camera is also better and overall decent to really good depending on the environment. In well lit areas I think most people would be pleased. In darker areas (with night mode) it’s not the pixel but it’s not bad either. I’d say pretty good overall. Recently went to a concert and some of my pics were right there with my friends pixel 6a, maybe not quite as sharp but barely noticeable. Battery is crazy good. Charged it Sunday to 100 and didn’t charge it again until Wednesday night. Was I using heavily…no. Was i using it however? Yes. But what makes this phone special however is it’s durability…therein lies the innovation part to me. We’re outdoors alot…rain, snow, skiing, camping, beach etc etc and this phone will provide you with peace of mind unlike anything else…even its ability to withstand extreme temperatures just in case you forget it outside in the winter or in the car in the summer and while I’ve yet to drop it…the aluminum build (under the rubber casing) is solid. Gorilla glass victus is the best you can get. IP 68 and IP 69 is just awesome and means you don’t need to worry about rain and then some. Only thing I miss from the XR20 is wireless charging because if you do get it wet, you’ll want to be sure that the charging port is completely dry before plugging in (didn’t have to worry about that really on the XR20). So no not the greatest spec wise but incredible and perhaps the best in terms of durability; thus if you want a really good phone that offers best in class durability (that doesn’t look silly) this is it. After all these are mobile computers that we take everywhere we go. Life happens…rain, spills, drops etc. You shouldn’t have to worry about it and you won’t with this. If anything changes I’ll update this review of course but as an XR20 owner prior I’d be surprised.

THIS PHONE TICKS OFF MOST OF THE BOXES FOR A RUGGED PHONE.
ALUMINUM FRAME, VICTUS GLASS.
AND, 3 YEARS OS UPGRADES, WITH SECURITY UPGRADES TOO!! SEEMS LIKE AN AWESOME REAL PHONE (NOT A TOY WITH A GLASS BACK…)
BUT WAIT…. NO SLOT FOR A MICROSD CARD?? REALLY? WHAT A STUPID DUMB DECISION!!
OH WELL, NOKIA REALLY CRAPPED OUT ON THIS…. YOU ALMOST HAD A SALE…. 10-23-2023
