Once the undisputed ruler of the mobile phone world, long before we divided this ecosystem into Androids and iPhones, Nokia lost out to Apple, Samsung, and pretty much everyone in the mobile phone business. However, this may be about to change with the launch of the Nokia XR21.
The phone is being described as tough as nails, a military-style rugged smartphone with ultimate protection against the weather elements. While the XR21 may or may not be a game-changer for the Finnish smartphone manufacturer, it is still worth looking at its specs, especially its IP69K certification.
So, let’s start with this much talked about certification before delving into the phone’s specs and price.
Significance of IP69K Certification
For starters, IP69K certification provides the highest level of protection against environmental elements, such as liquids and solids. A phone with this rating offers maximum protection against the entrance of dust, high temperatures, and high-pressure water. To achieve this certification, a product must undergo rigorous testing and only receives certification if it successfully withstands penetration by high-pressure, high-temperature water, and dust.
Therefore, this phone would be ideal for anyone who lives or works in harsh and challenging environments, where ordinary phones would fail or malfunction due to exposure to dust, water, or high temperatures.
