5 Things That Could Have Made Nokia XR20 Even Better

[@RichmondVillanueva]

I agree with the placement of the Google Assistant button. I hope they will omit it with the next Nokia devices or at least place it on the same side with the volume and power buttons and make it reprogrammable into a dedicated camera button.

[@janjamesramos247]

i agree with a smaller size and better camera.. i hope HMD will make this as a regular series so we can look forward to another rugged phone.

[@thatHARVguy]

HMD should embrace the indestructible Nokia meme and make a line of rugged phones. The XR20 doesn't even look like the typical rugged phones, and may actually survive a gold club by Mrwhosetheboss. 😉

[@killbot86]

I’ve had my XR20 for a week now and love it! I totally agree that OIS and also 4K video recording would’ve made this phone perfect 👍

[@aaronoralan5314]

Changes I hope to see in "XR 21": 1. Stainless steel frame; newest generation of Corning gorilla glass for front 2. Standard 128 GB/6 GB RAM for all variants, dedicated slot for Micro SD. So we can slot in two SIM cards and micro SD at the same time 3. HDR 10 and PureDisplay 4. 64 MP sensor for the main camera, and add AF for the ultra wide camera 5. 16 MP selfie camera with AF and HDR should give better experience than current 8 MP 6. Bothie camera for photo and video, dedicated camera button. These features should be standard across all the X series 7. 6000 mAh battery capacity 8. Better chipset than SD 480 (prefer SD 695 to prevent skyrocket price) The rest just maintain as XR20

SD 778G plus should be ideal SoC

[@eftu97]

As an XR20 owner since December, I can agree on most points, especially the size. Personally, I've got used to it, but it's definitely something to consider for the XR21(30?). Also agree on the uselessness of the Google assistant button, but I guess that's something we just have to live with. Coming from the 9PV I was slightly worried about performance and screen quality, but to be honest, that really hasn't been an issue. The XR20 just keeps going like a tank no matter what I throw at it, and for that, I love it.

[@Samfichier]

Same thing The contrast is enough deep to forget the oled, even if the first time I had to get used on less icons displayed vertically and a little bit less vibrant colors

[@AbdullaZaki]

[@Samfichier]

@@AbdullaZaki You're right, it's stressless use. And the screen cost less to change and the photos are better on the XR20, and of course the 💪 🔋... Without any bugs 👏

[@cresbonz5554]

Completely agree with all your suggestions. The Nokia XR20 is the first phone I've used for longer than 2 weeks so far without a case and not a single scratch. For me, all Nokia needed to do was either put a faster processor or spend a little more time optimising the experience. Reminds me of an LG experience, where even a very capable processor feels janky due to poor optimisation.

[@thedarkknight1971]

Deffo No. 2 - Even a 90hz screen is good enough for most people (as other tech reviewers have said, for a high percentage of people with everyday tasks, the difference between 60Hz and 90Hz is much more noticeable than between 90Hz and 120Hz) And YES WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE with that Google button idea you mentioned! 🤔😎🇬🇧

On the programmable button, I had briefly tried to assign it but couldn't. Camera wake up (when locked) would be brilliant, any suggestions?

[@k.s.8959]

just dual tap the screen lock button :) thats already the shortcut for direct photo, even without unlocking the phone. Like that you can take pictures in an instant but can't access the gallery / preview for safety reasons without unlocking first.

Hi Anthony! You can go to settings > System > Gestures > and turn on quickly open camera ( so double pressing the power button quickly launches the camera) and also reprogram the emergency button from there.

[@mohamedalimezghani9747]

you can remap the Google assistant button using 3rd party software... i remapped the Google assistant button to play/pause (Nokia 5.3) and i now am using this feature on a daily bases

[@SirFaceFone]

The biggest weakness it has it its price. In the US market where HMD is focused on, the XR20 is competing with Google's flagship Pixel line and some older iPhones. People just aren't willing to pay a premium for Nokia phones anymore, especially not after how they treated Nokia 9 users. They might be able to snag some market share from Moto/LG though, the XR20 is a fairly decent phone on its own.

[@AbdullaZaki]

In a way, the device creates a segment of its own. In order to convince people to give it a shot, it needs a strong marketing push, something I don't see them doing for the US market.

[@miguelojera2356]

If they can give it a better price to performance to feature ratio, this phone will attract a lot of buyers.

[@takamina1079]

A button for Camera instead of Google Assistance brings back Lumias, introduces a telephoto lens like the one found on the Nokia 7 Plus, and brings back the good old Nokia Camera.

[@vikramvij1245]

4k and screen refresh rate is also my issues. Nokia should also focus on mini range with 5000mah capacity Whole 2days without charging. Not everyone likes above 6inch screen.

[@kabangaleri8040]

i dont think a mini size can accommodate 5,000 mah though 😅.. the sweet spot would be 6.2"-6.4" with 4,500 mah screen and fast charging. The smallest phone with a decent battery is the Xperia 5iii with 4.5k mah battery

[@vikramvij1245]

[@AlexisTichko]

I just love this device and will still purchase it this year, at least if I manage to gather enough money it is :-), but should I be in the position to make a sequel to this phone I would definitely go for an Amoled display with at least 90Hz refresh rate, a little bit more powerful and thus more future proof CPU/GPU combo and indeed a slightly smaller screen such as a 6.2 to max 6.4 inch display. Not being a camera savvy person, I would not necessarily apply improvements to the camera section but OIS for recording purpose would definitely be one of the improvements I would ask. However I'm perfectly satisfied with the performance in any domain of my X20 and it is an almost identical twin to the XR20.

[@AbdullaZaki]

You will thoroughly enjoy the XR20 :) I hope you manage to get your hands on one soon! I really hope that they sold enough of them for us to get a sequel. Would be a shame to stop at just one when there is room for improvement.

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

I'm considering this phone as it hits a lot of marks of what I want in a smartphone. Personally some things I can live without (High refresh rate and 4K recording, never cared for or needed it) but fully agreed with the smaller size. Something around the size of the Pixel 5 is almost perfect for anyone. What I'd change is swap the placement of the Google Assistant button and the custom button. (Or eliminate the Google Assistant one and just use one button that's fully customizable) While I don't need 4K recording, the lack of image stabilization is kinda bad. Even Motorola has this for their lower end phones. (And in their Stylus 5G phone which has the same processor and ram as the XR20)

[@mumbaikan9185]

They could hv made XR20 mini & XR20, 5 inch small & 6.7 inch phablet type, SD480 & SD 870, 3000 mhA or 5400 mhA battery, and with 2+3 on mini & 3+4 year update option on larger device are my thoughts.

1. Flagship Snapdragon/SoC - so it will be capable of anything 4K or 8k Video Recordings and Performance. 2. 6 to 6.2 OLED Screen 3. Adaptive Refresh Rate 4. 30+ Watts Charger Only 4, we now have a Flagship Nokia XR20.. Logic: If you want an expensive Phone, why not make a Flagship Level device? This device could be a unique Flagship if HMD use Flagship SoC with latest Tech Trend like Higher Refresh rate and OLED Screen.. Most of Flagship device tend to be Fragile despite having an IP68 Ratings or Gorilla Glass Victus cover.. a Unique Rugged Flagship can put Nokia (maybe) on the radar again.. It's a straight forward Flagship that's actually last. They can actually make Nokia XR21 as Flagship and Nokia XR21 Lite as Upper Mid with almost the same specs except for a midtier SoC One thing, i hope Nokia/HMD adopt USB C to USB C Charger for more future proof experience.

Thank you very much for the video. They should remove the Google button to lower the price (or have the 4k video) because it's too sensitive, for the photo, just press power twice. I agree for the screen which is too long; a shorter screen but with the same resolution would be better (same number of icons displayed, same power consumption and smaller size), better night videos too, but if the software OIS works well, the mechanical OIS is not useful , especially since it can be damaged with heavy vibrations (falls, mountain bikes, motorcycles) therefore incompatible with the "indestructible" function. And i prefer to have the lanyard on the right side. Have a nice day

It would definitely be more expensive, by maybe around 15-20%.

Battery is fine as long as you dial the brightness down. Phone is at 35% after 5hrs 35 mins screen on time and used my phone hard today. I am ok with it. But my Moto G 5G is the better phone and way slicker. That Moto Edge 20 Pro must have been like a jet fighter in comparison. Phone is fine and it does phone things but it don't do slick. If I paid full price I may have thrown it against a wall in exasperation but that's when the XR20 will play it's ace card. So I am bargaining on the XR20 surviving and the updates coming.

@@AbdullaZaki I've had to have my iPhone 12 Pro replaced multiple times because I used a mount on a motorcycle and the vibrations ruined the OIS in the phone, I'm glad the XR20 doesn't have OIS as I don't need to worry about it breaking, for me the XR20 is good because it lacks features that would drain the phones battery or bloat the experience... The slower processor, slower refresh rate and lack of some hardware features all contribute to a longer battery life and more reliability. I bought the XR20 as a second phone for work (I work as a courier and drop my phone at least once a day and also need work in the rain) and for taking on adventures so I wouldn't have to worry about it being damaged or running out of battery, for me I just want a rugged second phone that's going to be reliable for the next few years without all the bells and whistles and the XR20 hits the mark perfectly. Also I find that the size of the phone is great especially for navigation in a car mount and provides lots of screen real estate for the apps I use. The feature that sold the phone for me (apart from its ruggedness, reliability and battery life) is the programmable emergency button that I can set to turn the flashlight on and off along with wireless charging. Nokia have a winner with this phone and I'm hoping they continue the XR rugged product line

I am writing this on my Nokia XR20 so that's cool yeah? So what I think. The size and weight was a surprise as it's not that big or heavy. I was expecting a tank and it's just a bit bigger is all. But I am happy with weight and size. No issues from me. The screen is ok and can be bright and colourful. Again it fine by me and better than my Moto G 5G plus. Not happy with the speakers as although noisy them very vibey and tinny. Headphones or Bluetooth speaker please. They are usuable but not much. Camera not tested really yet but the volume buttons act as shutter buttons. Nice. Got my emergency button for torch and turn on camera. So nice. In day to day performance against my Moto G 5G Plus it's pretty much even. Not seen any real performance advantage and the Moto has a 765 chip over the 480. Not had it long enough to test the battery but it's better than my Nokia 7.2 which is not a high bar. I was very close to buying the Moto Edge 20 plus. Very close. But the extra money, poor updates and the XR ruggedness won me over. I am willing to trade the last 10% of capability for the ruggedness and updates of the XR20. The Speakers annoy me already but if I put them at a relatively lower volume then it's just about ok. The screen judders when scrolling and it's not smoooth. So again no big deal. If this was a new phone then I probably wouldn't be happy with it against what I could have bought. But again the ruggedness and the updates and the longevity make up for any minor annoyance or weakness.

[@amjadraza9036]

I think price is too high at the given specifications.

Why Nokia xr20 do not have many features like Samsung or MI

[@mintomacco]

They should have just released it for half the price. Thats my only complaint. If you wish for a different soc, different camera, different size, different display, its not exactly 'optimizing', you just wish for a completely different device. Just a rugged one with a nokia branding.

[@AbdullaZaki]

Sounds like you just want the X10? :) My changes are more like a wishlist for a future XR21

[@arianitonline8748]

the only thing I would like to have on a phone is no front camera!!!

[@SirFaceFone]

You'll love the Benco V80 then. No cameras at all lol. Or just get one of those older phones with a mechanized pop-up front camera.

[@antalcucusi4446]

I would change the price

[@jamesdevine8582]

Move the finger print scanner to the back, take away Google assistant button, better selfie camera, maybe just a tad smaller and faster wired charging.

Processor should be better

[@manishverma9395]

A smaller device and a powerful processor.

I ask why Nokia acts the same as Motorola, when it was acquired by Lenovo and from the beginning they manufactured and launched mid-range phones with little powerful SD processors. Well, the same is happening with Nokia, they manufacture and launch very nice and resistant smartphones but with a low mid-range processor, why? What are they afraid of? For example, this phone should have been released with a 700 or maybe 800 series processor, like the phone I own, my Poco X3 Pro, whose processor is an SD 860, with 8Gb of RAM and 256 of ROM, and that is still considered within a high mid-range, but worth acquiring for its great hardware. Xiaomi does dare to take a step much further, because they know that a phone with these features is going to sell like hot cakes, well, this Poco X3 Pro is the best seller during 2021. Nokia needs to dare to take that big leap and the truth is that it would work perfectly, IMHO!😉👍🏻📱🍻

Nothing wrong with your genetics my friend, selfie away 🤳🏻 😂

[@AbdullaZaki]

Haha thanks! My grandma also thinks im fine :)

[@BotPlayz9123]

Please review nokia N70 plz

[@mgkole]

I'd change the price and nothing else..

[@kabangaleri8040]

i think you chose the wrong phone to review 😅. Many of those features lacking are usually in upper mid-range phones not on a budget rugged phone like this one. you should have reviewed nokia 8.3 5g instead and discussed the features it lacks.

[@AbdullaZaki]

I prefer this over the 8.3 funny enough :) Now obviously the improvements would come at a cost, but this is a wishlist for a phone I already really like the way it is.
