I put the tough Nokia XR21 to the test and it survived being thrown, dropped in water and driven over

Nokia has released what it says is 'the toughest smartphone' yet. Ideal for users who are a little less careful with their handset, it's being raved about for withstanding some of the harshest conditions including water, dust, pressure, heights and supposedly even the weight of a car, so to see just how strong it is I put the Nokia XR21 to the test.

Priced at £499 it's what we would consider at Mirror Choice to be a mid-range phone, nowhere near as cheap as some of Nokia's flip classics but also not as expensive as the likes of iPhone and Samsung's often £1,000 plus prices.

Along with the rugged capabilities the handset has a range of high-end qualities which are nearly always desired by modern smartphone users. Including a 64-megapixel back camera, a battery life that can last as long as two days, and a decent design when it comes to its interface qualities.
