The smartphone comes with 6GB RAM and 128 GB storage with a slot for a microSD card. It has a 48MP main camera and a 13MP ultra-wide lens at the back, with an 8MP front camera.
The XR20’s screen is built using a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus screen, which is reportedly stronger and more scratch-resistant than the typical smartphones screens in the market. HMD says the phone’s body can drop up to six feet without a case without breakage and can withstand temperatures as high as 55 degrees Celsius and as low as -20 degrees. This makes it one of the strongest mid-range smartphones in the market.
To prove how tough the phone is, HMD Global enlisted two famous soccer players Roberto Carlos and Lisa Zimouche to kick, punt, and flip the phone across various surfaces and conditions.
