Common Nokia XR21 issues we check at inspection

  • Bulky and heavy design. While durable, the phone can be bulky and heavy compared to standard smartphones.
  • Average camera performance. The camera system is decent for a rugged phone but doesn't compete with flagship devices in terms of image quality and features.
  • LCD display instead of OLED. The display is an IPS LCD, which may not offer the same contrast and vibrant colors as OLED panels found in many competitors.
