Nokia XR20 with IP68 protection - finally waited

Nice moment for fans of the Nokia brand. The company launched the Nokia XR20 armored car with IP68 protection. The manufacturer guarantees that the new product will not be inferior to the legendary Nokia 5500 Sport in terms of security. Whoever caught it remembers what kind of "beast" it is and how cool it was at one time.

But what can I say, some users still have it somewhere in a box, in full working order. Even our admin, it turns out, has this miracle, which he is terribly proud of. As you can see in the photo, the rubber keyboard was replaced and the plug was torn out. But the technology is already how many years, but it works and is not going to retire.

 

IP20-rated Nokia XR68 - Long Live the King!

To the features of the Nokia XR20 smartphone, you can add the ability to work with a wet screen. The sensor responds well not only to wet fingers, but can work underwater. Another advantage is the presence of a programmable button on the body of the device. This feature was in the 5500 Sport, which was tuned to a flashlight or player.

Nokia's smartphone turned out to be just wonderful. He has many direct competitors, but they all do not fit into the $ 600 budget. LG had good solutions, but Koreans asked fabulous money for them. And, there was also Blackview BV6800 Pro, overview which we did 2 years ago, but it is obsolete.

Definitely, people who lead an active lifestyle or work in difficult conditions will not pass by such an interesting "armored car". Nokia XR20 is a modern and technically advanced smartphone. Plus, it's very compact and even supports wireless charging. This technique can be safely taken for 5-6 years ahead. After all, Nokia is a brand you can trust.
