Nokia XR21
Nokia XR21 is a unique phone, since it has the features and performance of a mid-range smartphone, but due to its rugged build quality, its price tag has jumped up to the premium market. Despite the added price, you still get a plastic body and construction, although one thing to keep in mind is that this plastic is military-grade compliant, so you can even drop the phone on concrete from 1.8m high and it will still survive the fall. This has also made the phone slightly thicker, due to all the material used for dampening, which also adds to the weight of the device. It is still deal for anyone that requires such high damage resistance, as even the display features Gorilla Glass Victus.
