Nokia’s XR21 rugged phone goes official with IP69K certification

Nokia just ventured into the rugged smartphone world with its XR21 smartphone with MIL-STD-810H military-grade and IP69K certification, which is the highest IP protection against water and dust. In fact, the “9K” at the end denotes that the Nokia XR21 can withstand close-range, high-pressure and high-temperature spray downs.
