The Rugged Nokia XR20 Comes to Nigeria

Nokia has launched its tough and durable XR20 smartphone in Nigeria, bringing rugged reliability to the mobile market. As one of Nokia’s “X” series of rugged devices, the XR20 is built to withstand the daily rigors of life while still delivering high-end performance.

With durable construction, the XR20 is designed for anyone who needs a phone that can handle life’s knocks and bumps. It has passed multiple MIL-STD-810H tests to withstand extremes of temperature, vibration, and drops onto hard surfaces. The phone sports an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, able to survive submersion in up to 1.5 meters of water for up to 60 minutes.

The 6.67-inch LCD screen is covered with tough Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for protection against scratches. The large edge-to-edge screen has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 and is crisp enough for viewing media or working on the go. Despite its rugged construction, the XR20 weighs just 248 grams and measures only 10.6mm thin, making it comfortable to hold and carry every day.

Powering the Nokia XR20 is a 5G-capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G processor with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM depending on storage configuration. This provides smooth multitasking performance for apps, gaming, and more. The phone comes with either 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage that can be expanded up to 512GB with a microSD card.

A large 4630mAh battery provides plenty of power for the day with 18W wired charging and 15W wireless charging support. Nokia claims up to two days of typical usage on a single charge thanks to the efficient Snapdragon 480 chipset. The XR20 also supports 18W power sharing to juice up other devices when needed.

For photography, the XR20 packs a capable dual rear camera system featuring a 48MP main sensor with PDAF and a 13MP ultra-wide lens. Zeiss optics are also included to help capture sharp photos. On the front, an 8MP camera handles selfies and video calls. Video recording can be up to 1080p resolution at 30fps.

As with all Nokia devices, the XR20 runs on Android with a clean Google experience and guaranteed software updates. It ships with Android 11 out of the box but is guaranteed to receive upgrades to Android 13 at minimum. This ensures the phone stays secure with the latest patches and features over time.

Nokia’s special “Originals” edition of Android provides a lag-free experience without pre-installed third-party apps or modifications. Customers can expect up to three years of monthly security updates and two major Android OS upgrades. This long-term support means the XR20 avoids premature obsolescence, unlike many competitive models.

When it comes to connectivity, the XR20 delivers the latest standards including 5G speeds when paired with a 5G SIM card. It supports an impressive array of 5G frequency bands covering the major Nigerian carriers. For WiFi, it has dual-band WiFi 6 allowing for fast downloads and smooth video chats. Bluetooth 5.1 and NFC are also on board for accessories and contactless payments. Location services rely on GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and NavIC for accurate positioning.

In terms of pricing, the Nokia XR20 is very reasonably priced for a rugged 5G smartphone. The base model with 64GB storage and 4GB RAM retails for ₦249,000, while the upgraded 128GB/6GB RAM variant costs ₦250,000. For those looking to purchase directly from Nokia in Nigeria, various carrier promotions are available including data incentives, bill discounts, and waivers of activation fees when activating a new line.

With its super rugged build, clean Android experience, long software support, and 5G connectivity at an affordable price, the Nokia XR20 looks like an excellent option for those in Nigeria wanting a durable daily driver that can withstand life’s adventures. Its blend of performance, endurance, and value makes it a top choice for those working outdoors or frequent travelers needing extra protection for their smartphone investment.
