Disassembly reveals that the Nokia XR20 is really sturdy and reliable as it is described. But there may be problems with repairs.

Late last month, HMD Global introduced its first rugged smartphone under the Nokia brand - Nokia

XR20. To make sure whether it is really so secure, the guys from PBKreviews completely disassembled the gadget.

What did you find out

Let us remind you that the Nokia XR20 received IP68 water protection.MIL-STD810H impact protection and the most durable Gorilla glass at the time of announcement - tempered Glass Victus. Therefore, it is stated that it is not afraid of immersion in water, dust and shock, and the glass covering the display is more resistant to scratches.

And indeed, disassembly confirmed the reliabilitysmartphone: rubberized sides for a secure grip, a fairly thick aluminum frame that does not bend, rubber gaskets on the ports and speakers. And although the back cover is made of plastic, it is durable, removable, easy to remove and does not crack, as would happen with a glass panel.

At the same time, Nokia XR20 was ratedfor maintainability - 6.5 points out of 10 possible. The glass above the camera and LED flash is quite easy to remove after heating, and removing the back panel, top cover and removable battery is not difficult at all. But replacing the screen requires skill and caution.
