I bought the XR20 last December of 2021. Fast forward today, and it's still my reliable daily driver. For me, it's true to its ruggedness. I had a particularly nasty crash in a mountain biking trail, and the phone flew off my phone holder and slammed against a rock. As bad as the crash was for me, I just picked up the phone and it was still working as fine as before. Aside from the nicks and scratches from its frame, the only major damage was to its tempered glass; screen and camera were both fine. I have no issues using this phone for my day to day usage. Software is light and responsive, and it's still getting updates. IPS LCD isn't a dealbreaker, and I've used AMOLED before on my now dead Note 9. As for games, I leave the more demanding one to my PC. Although I do play some games on here, but they're not that demanding. The Nokia XR20 had the honor of replacing my Galaxy Note 9, which was laid to rest last 2021, as my daily driver.

I picked one up on sale direct from Nokia in the UK. I'd been using the G50 for work but some lovely person decided they liked it more then I did. I was already happy with the G50 so I knew they performance would be good as I got the 6GB model. The phone hasn't disappointed at all. Everything you've credited it for is absolutely true. I only have one issue with it and its that dam sleep/wake button. I wish they done it like on the G50. On the XR20 the cutout for the button isn't defined enough and it's flush with the frame. Also the sensitivity isn't great. I bet any money you also have experienced launching the camera an untold amount of times when turning the screen off. Apart from that I truly think it's totally worthy of the Nokia brand. It's a fantastic work phone. Great video as always👍

Please bring back lumia phones❤️😭

Watched this video and finally gave in. Got my XR20 yesterday 😬 Thanks Mr Zaki 🤪

Nokia is showing us a truly unique user experience. It makes no sense to increase computing power already. Convenience, reliability in everyday use, price and support - this is all that is required for comfortable use. Pure android is excellent. There is absolutely no point in ultra-expensive mobile devices.

Another awesome review--TY Mr. Nokia!!

Thank you for the review. My dad has always had bad luck with phones breaking, even with cases on them. This phone may not solve his problem of treating them roughly, but it might mitigate his issue of breaking the phone before only two years owning it. I'm still gonna make him get a case.

Nokia is like your one ex you never forget! This guy's videos are pure bliss to watch!

Thanks for covering this phone as a daily phone :)

I really like this device. I think this is my only regret. I love the Nokia 8.3 5G, it is an excellent device in every way. But I wish I'd have waited a bit more and gotten the XR20. It is just a great phone all around! Probably the best realized Nokia device since the elegant 7.1. If there are any follow up models over the next few years, it would definitely be my top candidate for an upgrade. As always this review was a useful update. Great to see how these models function months later. PS I hope you do a similar video for the Nokia T20 tablet when the time comes. Also, my phone doesn't even go out of the box without a case and screen protector...LOL

Aaaarh! 🙆 Abdul! This review is lovely. Great video. Now I'm hung on the XR20. That simple statement, "I don't have the heart to use an X20 without a cover", it just won me over on the XR20. Now to find one 🤦

You did great job ...keep going 💜

I love love love my XR20. Been using it since launch.

Nice Vlog !! & Great Info !! ........... Bless

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your experience with this phone. I have been looking for rugged phones and the only phone I find that is very decent is still Nokia XR20. Your review has somewhat cemented my opinion, in due because you said you drive a lot and seems to put into test the XR20. I'm new to your channel and I'll be checking out your full review of XR20 before really putting my order to the phone.

as someone who works in a construction industry, I'm still finding this in my country but sadly no one sells it here.

Nokia will always have a special place in my heart. Since the Philippines has no way of locally getting a pixel phone, Nokia has been my savior. The only Nokia phone I have is the 7 plus but it proved to me that Nokia is my best choice for a low priced stock android phone.

Thanks for the good video. I already noticed a better battery life and i like so much the XR20. The laynrad is a also big advantage : easiest to handle with one hand, using it and doing many thinks or carryings bags... help doing stabilized video and travelling effect... well it's a peace of mind phone and very usefull with a good user experiance

Sad it doesn't even sell in my country, luckily there's still X20 available here

Watching the video on my NOKIA 6.1 2018 still works like a pro at all departments except battery, it's been 4 years know

Nice review 👈

Thank you for your video. Is the camera good for cooking videos? [ Vlogging]

Very interesting. I have used older Nokia phones, but few of the older phones would last my outdoor work life...I switched to Cat 40 then moved up to Cat 42..this phone is now starting to show signs of use...I don't like case's that's why I have been searching for a better upgrade. Take care

Abdullah are you going to try and get your hands on the C2 2nd Edition? It's a straight up throwback to the phones of better days, its only weakness being only 2gigs of ram(dont care what OS you use these days anything short of 4 is like having a PC without the minimum 8 needed for windows) and it's screen not being 720p

Handy review, thanks! Is there a cover for the usb port? Mine tends to falls on the beach.. Thanks

It's a dream phone of mine

hi! thanks for videos🙏🏻 may I ask how does it work with android 13, today, please?

The design of the Nokia XR20 exudes the beauty of simplicity but durability, Nokia should follow this design, looking at the edge of the device can be related to the design on Nokia's Symbian device. Camera is simple but quality, very similar to Camera of Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia should also follow this direction of Camera rather than many Cameras whose resolution is only 2~5mpx for Macro. Nokia needs to develop in the direction of simplicity, good performance, quality Camera and full, timely updates and limited errors on updates.

Hi, do you recommend nokia xr20/g60 or iphone 13 in terms of longevity and camera?

This is really cool phone!

Got an X20 had it since oct21 been abusing it ever since. Does the job no prob👍

Well the Android 12 update has finally come to the US. So far I agree with what you said about it and hasn't caused any problems on my end.

Please bring back Lumia with all apps nowadays and also most important is Nokia E Series with Full Qwerty keyboard with android OS.

Abdulla do you know please when nokia will release android 12 update for the rest of their lineup like the 3.4 i have

Nice review by ya. Any person, that has owned, still own an lg phone, izza smart person to me...texting ya now, with an lg..eventually, was looking at the nokia xr20, moto g power, one plus n20, just as long as there not scrapple or samsung phones, im.down with the other brands...nokia, moto, one plus, took the xr20 , underwater..now that's impressive...ive had quite a few nokia phones, with the older , before andriod , flip or solid nokia phones..they worked fine...nice review ..peace

For my phone use case i dont mind lower performance, this is a phone made keeping people like me in mind

Hi there. Could you please tell me is this Nikita XR20 has Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 5? Thank you.

Have to agree on bringing back Lumia devices or at least bring back the design language with an updated aspect ratio and refresh rate. Lumias may be plastic but Nokia somehow made it look and feel more premium yet durable.

Atlast someone with fresh eyes and unadulterated opinion.big thanks Abdulla

Can i ask u. Who will restore nokia lumia1020

Hello and thank you very much for the video! I find it extremely useful and was one of the reasons I got the Nokia XR20. :) In additon to the aspects you point out in the video I have the following issue: When I'm on a website and I want to take a picture to upload, a super-cropped version of Google Camera launches. Almost all the controls on the phone's camera, which are otherwise available in the Google Camera app, are missing. There is no zoom or the ability to switch from standard to wide angle lens! I installed BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b and it unlocked all sorts of new options, but the problem with shooting through a website remains the same - the super-cut app opens. At first I thought that the problem was in the way the website was made, but it turned out not to be the case. On other phone models, even those made long before Nokia XR20, almost all the controls from the Camera app are also available in the shooting app that the website opens. Does anyone have any idea where the problem might be and whether it can be solved in some relatively accessible way? Thanks in advance. :)

Would buying the Nokia 5.4 in 2022 be worth it, i mean i just love it, and really want a phone that's not a the size a tablet, 6.39' that's good

Is it still worthed to buy nokia xr20 in 2023 ?

Had XR20 for 14 months and intend to keep for 2 years and then give it my daughter as a mini tablet. It's not a good phone but it's not bad. It does what I want it to do. Wouldn't recommend but it's ok.

Just purchased nokia x20 and i'm not disappointed

Will we see any new x series phone or that was the last x10,20, xr20 they launched. No words on upcoming 5g phone.

How about the brightness? The Nokia G60 I ordered I returned because it was not bright enough.

dude my XR20 felt down like 100-200 times haha in different country and is still fine, but the last time it fell something on the side broke :( and now it doesnt feel nice to hold it but it is still good

I've had my Nokia 8.3 5g for 1.5 years and I am very pleased. I am considering what Nokia phone I should upgrade to next, any ideas?

Great video!!! OMG!!!! I saw a "Windows" phone!!!!! #MissingTheWindowsPhones😳😳😳😳

I see your XR20 cant take long screenshots as well. Mine also gets stuck with the darkened screen and thats it. Hopefully they will fix it in the next update.

Hello, ypu did not mention anything about photo quality. Please describe in short photo and video quality in comparison to iPhone or Galaxy top models. Is it good enough for travel photography? Currently I use S20 and Xiaomi mi8 (not very happy with xiaomi photo quality).

Which one is best HonorX6 5G or Nokia XR20 PLZ SUGGEST

The legend Nokia

I bought my XR20 about a month ago and so far I'm very happy with it. I have only two or three minor complaints. First I wish it had eSIM capability. SIM cards are obsolete in my opinion. Second I think it should have included a charger. The sustainability aspect of not including a charger is a poor excuse to reduce costs in my opinion. Third the google assistent button on the left side is a little anoying. Sometimes I'm activating google assistent by accident. Otherwise it's an awesome phone. The casing and the touchscreen are the best I ever put my hands on. The rest of the hardware is pretty good too in relation to the price. I also love how the XR20 can so easily be cleaned under running water.

Does the frame edge stick up higher than the glass display? The main way that I break screens is dropping on concrete so I don't want the glass to stick out past the plastic edge. Thanks

I'm tempted to buy one but idk it's worth it in 2022, i hope so :)

My Nokia 4.2 just got it's last security update(my 4.2 was a good phone, even with the Android 11 update glitches) and i am looking at the XR20. But in Germany it's still hard to get one, i'm gonna try again.. :)

It's good to see a phone that will survive daily usage (is that a lanyard loop I see in the corner?) I agree the fragile designs we see nowadays is stupid. What's the point with a great looking design that feels good in the hand if you have to slap a massive case on it? That just means you failed in one of the most important elements of your design requirements. The fastest processor and most glorious screen in the world is pretty useless if the display or case is cracked, isn't it? A cracked back or front glass isn't gonna do wonders for the water and dust resistance either.

Is this available in India?

Imagine someone using this phone with case.

I guess I'll wait for XR21 😋

new sub have you, thank you for this review

I want to replace my Nokia 8.0 and this model looks very good. I saw it in store and is to large to fit in front pocket of jeans. Nokia 8.3 seems to have many issues. Any recommendation for a durable pure Android welcome.

Is it waterproof?

Could you tell about Android 11 on Nokia 7.2

I am thinking to buying this iPhone , in Saudi Arabia ‏price 239 USD , good deal ?

Best phone ...

Even I love phones without covers

I really want to have one but it's unavailable here in the Philippines :(

I've dropped my xr20 like probably 10 times off my loft bed, it's perfectly fine. No cases, no screen protectors. I'm completely averse to taking any electronics under water unless they really look waterproof.

Hell, one question, how i disable super battery saving mode ? i cannot access settings in this mode... plz help, i want a solution without shutting down the phone...

Hi, I am from India. Will it be good to buy Nokia XR20 now. I am a nokia fan, an i am using nokia 6 and nokia 6.1 still using, which are build great. i use phones for long time. Will xr20 last long in performance @5 years .What will u suggest?

And now after android 13 ?

Does HMD have an Android 12 roadmap for Nokia devices?

when the release of new nokia x series devices ?

Ameshing Nokia

Wish Nokia would make a smaller version of the XR20 (pixel 5 size would be great)!

Hey Buddy Can Nokia Lumia Any Phone Still Available to Buy ? If Yes When Which Website to Buy The Old Nokia Lumia phone or any Nokia phone

How would you say the camera performs? I have a Galaxy A52 but I'm expecting this to be not on par but I'm okay with that. (I'm fine with something on par with Motorola, never needed high end features like 4k) And is GPS performance good? My A52 running Google Maps in the first few minutes never gets the positioning right.

Only a 1 year warranty in the US, even though they state on their us web page a 2 year!

What about camera?

Does it support video over USB, making the vanilla Android Desktop Mode available? Or even using a desktop-specific launcher, like Taskbar?

I support this channel. Like, comment and subscribe to give some love to our boy Abdulla. Let's get him into the big leagues.

does the XR20 feel like an upgrade to the 8.3? I'm a little worried about the processor and the lesser ram. but I guess I would love the roughedness and the waterproofness...

I just bought the Xr20 in Amazon UK on a Amazon warehouse deal for £140 ,it's like new !!! Bargain or what !!!! It retails for £399 and now down to £319 , I got the 64GB/4GB ram , however I won't install too many apps , but will put a 256GB MICRO SD card in it so I can keep that for ALL MY DATA, only negative is that you cannot install APPs on the microsd

As for scratches, my XR20 was advertised as coming with a pre-applied screen protector, weren't they all shipped like this?

Nokia xr20👍👍😃😃😃😃😃

👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

Salaam, I am from Indonesia, how can I get this Nokia XR20?

I Commend Nokia For Finally Being One To Place The Rear Camera Rather More In The Center Instead Of Jumping On %he Bandwagon And Placing The Rear Camera Instead Of That Bloody Ridiculous Off To The Side Nonsense Like Damned Fool iPhones...

When the 3.4 will get Andro12 ?

Samsung Xcover 6 Pro better in many ways ? :)

Can anybody tell me when I can get Nokia 3.4 Android 12 update ???

Hello everyone, I would like to buy this phone, but I would like to know if there is a lot of difference between the 128gb 6gb and the 64gb 4gb versions, in terms of speed. I would not use the phone for any kind of videogames, only some essential apps like Brave browser and GPS etc. Thank you for all the answers!

Anyone has tried it at sea/while sailing? How does it behave with salty water?

1:11 I legit thought I saw a man with a pregnant belly lmao

It is an orange 🍊 tree??? A mini one ? 😍

How does the XR20 compare to your windows phone ? Because I'm in that position right now. And can you use windows document files on the Android phone without subscribing to Office 360 ?

Twitter app is this slow even on my Samsung S20 FE5G, even with 120Hz display.
