Nokia XR20 has been confirmed to launch in India soon. The licensee HMD Global has announced that the rugged smartphone will be available for pre-order starting October 20.
Nokia XR20 was globally launched in July and it comes with IP68 and MIL-STD810H certified build. It uses a 6.67-inch Full-HD + IPS LCD screen with a perforated design. Speaking of phone protection, HMD has given no reason to be concerned. The screen uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for protection.
It has IP68 water and dust resistance. Meets MIL-STD-810H to withstand extreme weather conditions. And it has a drop resistance to the concrete of up to 1.8 meters, which means that the phone will not break if it is accidentally dropped. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The global-spec Nokia XR20 is available in two variants – 4GB + 6GB and 6GB + 128GB. It is priced at EUR 499 which is about Rs 43,600. The bigger 6GB + 128GB variant costs EUR 579 (around Rs 50,600). It comes in two colours – Granite and Ultra Blue.
Nokia XR20 price in India
The Nokia XR20 price in India has yet to be released, but the company has detailed some offers for people who pre-order the smartphone right now. Along with the phone, you get the free Nokia Power Earbuds Lite and a one-year screen damage protection plan at no additional cost. Although the posters announcing this offer were later removed, people were quick to save screenshots. But this may also mean that HMD may change the offer when it decides to officially reveal it.

HMD had previously said that it would launch the Nokia XR20 ahead of Diwali. This was the time when the company also announced the Nokia G20 Plus, Nokia G10, Nokia C01 Plus, and Nokia C30. Instead of going for an online event, Nokia Mobile quietly made the announcement through its social media handles. Moreover, the Nokia C30 is also now listed on the Nokia Mobile India website, but it is not up for pre-order yet. But the Nokia XR20 is and this means that it is only a matter of time that it will be available to buy in India.
