For me the downsides are: - Android 12 (when it should be Android 13) - Still a big screen (was hoping something near the Xperia's screen size, like a 6.0-inch screen) - non expandable storage - Will probably arrive in my country VERY late What I like: - still has a headphone jack - double speakers - the security updates for 4 years

The problem here isn't that Android 13 is better... it's that Nokia promises 3 Android Version Updates. We are close to the final release of Android 14 (been running the beta for months now) and Nokia is running 12. They will likely drop support with Android 15, which means next year.

I will pin this comment as it answers most of the remarks about the phone. I think the best way to explain it is the buyer of a Land Rover Defender is not likely to cross shop between it and a BMW 5 series even if they cost the same. Sure, the XR20/21 are more mainstream than your average rugged device which is super heavy and really bulky, but they are aimed at a different type of buyer who isn't gonna find the "spec" advantage of your average smartphone appealing compared to the durability/ruggedness of the XR21. Different product, different buyer, different requirements, different selling points. The XR20 has over 4/5 rating from over 200+ reviews on Amazon because the people buying it got exactly what they needed. It is not a spec champion, and the value you get is from the fact that its practically indestructible.

I'm glad they made the XR21 smaller, I'm daily driving an XR20 currently, and the only thing I'd change about it is it's rather large size. That said, I'm not one to upgrade often, I came to the XR20 from a Galaxy J3 Prime, which I believe was released in 2016 for about $150USD? Although I'm glad they chose to continue to XR series phones, I really thought the XR20 would be a one-off product.

I like the features and design, the battery life, the built-in toughness and the IP69K/68 water and dust resistance it has...but not having MicroSD support for me is a problem and might be a deal breaker, even though it has E-Sim support. I'll have to think. It's between this or the G60. Yeah on the software front, it really should be shipping with Android 13 at this point. Pretty much all similar phones, including the Samsung A54, are doing so (and that one does have MicroSD support but no headphone jack). Thanks for the advance preview! PS Overall, I think the XR21 is a step back from the X20.

Decent specs on paper. Not sure if it's worth $499 though.. This has been their drawback, right from days of Nokia 8. They just don't get the price right as per the mood of the market. I do understand its not that huge and production cost is to be viewed but at least they should compete on providing Android 13 and some decent specs and aspects to justify the pricing. This will be followed by huge discounts and drops in about 6 months when the device gets a bit out dated and pixel and Samsung launch their mid rangers.

At the moment I'm very happy using a second-hand 7 plus. As a successor of my Nokia 5 (still a trustworthy back up phone, but 16GB ram, net < 8GB, wasn't enough for my usage). I had the charging port renewed, just to be sure, and stuck a €15 wireless charging accessory onto it. As well as a booklet rubberized case. Installed GCam (just for low light pictures, with fair light the original software does pretty well). SD card and headphones jack. SD 6 series. No punchhole or notch. 6 inch. 1080p screen. Sturdy and beautiful design. 64 GB is ok by me, plus the SD card of course. Still more than fast enough (I'm not a gamer). Can anyone give me a reason to buy a new Nokia (read HMD) phone? And, if yes, which one would that will be? 2018 -> 2023: besides the security updates, what's the progress?

But I do like Nokia's low-profile rugged line. Those huge, industrial Chinese rugged phones are fun, but not practical.
