The Nokia XR21 features a dual rear camera setup with a 64MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a LED flash unit. For selfies, you get a 16MP shooter. It comes powered by the Snapdragon 695 processor, paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage. Fueled by a 4,800mAh battery unit, the handset supports 33W fast charging. It runs Android 12 OS out of the box and is promised to get three years of OS and four years of security updates
Further, the device gets extra-loud stereo speakers, a 3.5mm jack, a USB-C port, NavIC, 5G, WiFi, and Bluetooth 5.1. Nokia XR21 will be available on the Nokia US website in Midnight Black, costing $500. As part of the launch offer, Nokia is giving in a free pair of noise-canceling earbuds.
