Nokia XR21 - first impressions review

Back to their roots?

[@challasuni6129]

So finally first unboxing came out in our channel very good

[@Natural-eh2qb]

I love strong phones. The build quality of this phone is really quite strong.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Yes

[@doduyle8476]

Please make a battery drain test on this phone.

[@bojojas1918]

Please review also the ozo playback and 96db srereo speaker

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

yes, It will be in the full review

[@wangbadan]

Hi, thanks for the quick review. I had XR20 but the finger print button drives me crazy. It was too sensitive, whenever I accidentally place my finger on it, it unlocks. I am wondering if it got fixed (changed) with XR21. Does it unlock when the finger is placed on the button, or you have to press it down to unlock the screen?

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Unfortunately my issue is the opposite, my xr21 keeps trying to unlock when phone is on pocket then when I try to unlock it with my finger it says I tried too many times to unlock. So I just use face id

[@wangbadan]

@@RodolphosTechchannel Thanks! Yeah, I reckon that Nokia use the same hardware and software finger print sensor from XR20... It really should be designed first button pressed down and then scan the finger print, in my opinion.

[@jeffersons.managuelod8727]

Where can I buy?

[@bojojas1918]

I need this and want for!!!

[@iivera7618]

What about call quality in noisy environment and reception?

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Very good. No complaints

[@romanbecker6711]

It is a rugged phone, complains about the becels is a bit too much. The price is at the moment too high, but there are a lot comparisons with the Nokia 3310. For me this is is a very interesting Smartphone.

[@Murugasathish]

Super Bro💐😍👍

[@zafereldar]

this model was launched a week ago but HMD has not made any promotion or review video yet. Such a shame.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Yes, only me

[@zafereldar]

@@RodolphosTechchannel yes only you... And thank you very much

[@James73059]

Is it snappy, responsive? any lagging? Like transferring stuff? I like the phone but also some specs to last, whats the point of lasting outside but outdated inside...smh with Nokia.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

It's quite snappy now, hardly any lags but I am not sure how it will be after a few months from now. I have the Nokia x30 also and now phone feels quite sluggish compared to when it was new.

[@yousefremawi4177]

Nice to find your chanel please make under water test and camera test .

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Okay

[@shahjahanali8088]

When it came out to South Asian region & how much will be the price?

[@shahjahanali8088]

@RodolposTechchannel hey any idea?

[@davidnowhere2637]

I am not sure where south Asia is but in Australia it is $799

[@meghbalokakash332]

[@johnlander4635]

Hello Can u check uk model as NFC. Thank you.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Yes it has NFC

[@johnlander4635]

@@RodolphosTechchannel good show. NFC is not shown on the Nokia UK website. So concerned. I have the XR20 so certainly buying this sometime in January. Should be cheaper by then. The thicker bezels cos it's tough innit. And worth it. Used my XR20 in heavy rain like a boss! Drop it and have to look if I have damaged the floor. Top notch.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

@@johnlander4635 I just added my card on Google wallet here, so it works fine

[@princeamponsah1985]

I'm a Nokia fan but we don't get it here in Ghana more why

[@stefank.1638]

Where is the detailed review?

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Tomorrow night

[@dmanjra]

Is the plastic back going to get scratched?

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

No, barely any scratches

[@dmanjra]

So it is rubberised?

[@user-rq5ru7lv5f]

This phone is very good phone !😊

[@thomasbouvier3203]

Hi, interested in this phone, but does it have a face id or touch id. As i am using m'y phone a lot to pay its suite annoying if it doesn't. And RN, it comes with free earplugs if you but on Nokia wich is quite fair price

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

No earplugs but comes with Face ID and fingerprint scanner

[@thomasbouvier3203]

@@RodolphosTechchannel and in your video you talk about Android 13.0... But Nokia and website say its 12.0... Can it be upgraded? So it follow Android major patches?

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

@@thomasbouvier3203 I say it’s on android 12 yet but would be nice to have android 13, we will have to wait for update

[@thomasbouvier3203]

@@RodolphosTechchannel oh Ok. It might cet Android 13 and then 14. Tought it would block. Thanks for the answers

[@princeamponsah1985]

[@picurve]

Please how accurate is the GPS or location?

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

It’s ok, nothing special, not bad either.

🇧🇷

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Tem o review em português tbm no meu canal

[@Byronofcrypto]

Price hasn't dropped.😢

[@balaramsundar]

Why doesn't it have Android 13 out of the box? 🤨

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

I don’t know, Nokia takes long to update

[@balaramsundar]

Android 12 in 2023, high price, low spec processor - all these are ingredients for a poor sales figure for this phone. Why, Nokia, why? ☹️

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

@@balaramsundar it will be good buy when it hits 35,000

[@Byronofcrypto]

SD778g would be great, battery could be 6000 like ASUS rog 7. The rest is good enough.

[@jamalhoshaim6663]

Big bazle looks phone so ugly i don't understand why Nokia always do the same thing 👎👎,im a fan of Nokia but the design day by day just make the fans will leave out

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Yes it has an outdated design

[@tejbirsinghsohal]

Nokia is dead.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Yes it’s basically HMD making Nokia branded phones

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

No, snapdragon 695 didn’t support 4K. Only full hd video support

[@minukarodrigo]

Every brand is dead lol
