Making good on their earlier assurance, HMD Global is amplifying Europe's 5G smartphone scene. Specifically, Hungary's production lines are now churning out the Limited Edition Nokia XR21, marking HMD's foray into European manufacturing. 


But here's the catch: it's a super-exclusive run with only 50 Nokia XR21 units, and a tight 30 are up for sale. Each phone features a sequential engraving and comes in a Frosted Platinum color. The phone also comes with a special edition box, making it a sight to behold.

Having been in the limelight since May, the Nokia XR21 is a powerhouse in rugged aesthetics. Flaunting MIL-STD-810H military-grade credentials and the gold standard IP69K certification, the phone is the Fort Knox of gadgets against water and dust.

Peek above the deck to find a vivid 6.49-inch IPS display rocking an FHD+ resolution, all jazzed up with a 120Hz refresh rate, not to mention the Gorilla Glass Victus that lends an added shield. The Nokia flagship new model has a punch-hole cutout for a non-intrusive visual experience.


Performance-wise, the Nokia XR21 draws power from a Snapdragon 695 SoC paired with a dual camera system: a 64MP primary eye and an 8MP ultrawide companion. Juiced by a 4,800mAh battery and 33W fast charging, it's pre-loaded with the latest Android 12 flavor.

The Limited Edition Nokia XR21 is poised to retail at €699/£599 (~PKR 204,000) across several European nations. If Frosted Platinum isn't your jam, HMD's got a classic Black variant of the regular Nokia XR21, priced slightly cooler at €649/£549 (~PKR 187,000), making a stage appearance soon.
