Nokia's new XR21 is perfect for people who pressure wash their phones

Nokia XR21

I'm pretty sure none of the phones in our best phones guide boasted about their ability to withstand pressure washing. But then, none of the best Android phones or best iPhones are descended from the Nokia 3310, a phone so tough that if you dropped it on the floor it'd probably break the floor.

Nokia directly references the 3310 in its press release, because this new phone is all about handling whatever you chuck at it. It can handle a 72-hour hike in torrential rain, a 100-bar pressure washer jet at 80ºC, a tumble from a trouser pocket and a nuclear war. I might be lying about the nuclear war. It's made from die-cast recycled aluminium, Gorilla Glass Victus and it's certified to MIL-STD-810H.
