Long story short, the phone is good, and a few tips follow.
I'm a quite demanding user, thus it took me some time to start using the phone. I'm going outdoors for long time, navigating, writing and running code on the phone, remote access etc.
Had to fight some problems as battery life, using it in sunlight, apps auto installed from my older phone etc.
So the battery life quite frightened me at first, as all settings came turbo jet style. To start with, I turned the battery saver on. The phone works very well and fast even watching a little video, for more than a day long.
But battery saver reduced the screen brightness, so it wasn't that readable in full sunlight. Again, the battery saver settings came to help, and I canceled the brightness reduction when on. Now my dark screen profile phone is readable in full sunlight at noon. 10240 lux.
Still, there is some problem with the display not turning off. It is mentioned this setting is not active with battery saver, I'd ask the makers to consider changing this, as it may pose a privacy risk when putting the phone down.
Could normally be expected that background notifications would lag because of the saver. But I hear the notification on my older phone and on the XR20 at ~1 second difference, not always in the same order.
My phone was not cheap , and I sincerely hope it's waterproof, but haven't tried this yet. My older Kyocera kept with me in the water, and I put a similar rubber cap on my XR20 usbc, however I've seen people using phones in water without a cap. Other phones, though. I will also find a cap for the aux port.
Home my tips would also help you!

the only reason people will buy a nokia is because of feeling nostalgic, reminiscing the past, all their memories come to life again and the tears they have shed throughout the years. other than that, nothing else. just my humble opinion. 😜😜😜

It's trash. Had my first one 6 hrs and had to ship it to warranty. Got it back, 9 days later and it lasted 2 days and started doing the same thing. Sent it back AGAIN and Nokia sent a replacement and it worked for about 30 days until it started loosing cell signal on both sims about every 20 minutes. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE PHONE. Back to Samsung I guess.

Owned mine for 2 years now.
Battery still good, even though I am a very heavy user.
Can't fault it.

Android 13 is long available for Nokia XR20 and it would be nice if gsmarena could update that in the specs. People then can see in a heartbeat what version is the latest update for this particular phone they searched for.
So please add that in the spec list, we are all here to make it as complete as possible and easy to see and use for everyone.

I'm very disapointed with the phone, camera y quite bad, and overall perfomance is really bad.
Everything is slow and UI freeze from time to time and needs a reboot.

Bought this and it had water entering into the display within 3 months, even when used in light rain. HMD global/Nokia outright refused to offer any repairs or support, because I bought it in another country, while I was on vacation, as I needed a new phone. Instead they suggested I should fly halfway across the globe, to where I bought it, to get it fixed.
Not to mention that this phone was of sub-par quality to begin with, I've had other electronics companies, who seem to value their reputation more, honour their warranties even when the product was bought in another country. But HMD global seems to want to only do the absolute minimum of what's legally necessary and no more.

Im so disappointed with this XR20 , this phone cost over €400 , its by far the worst phone iv ever had, with the exception of the phone being durable.
Its performance is extremely poor everything from reception, Bluetooth, pocket dials, to picking up background noise to be not being able to clearly here the person you are talking to . We purchased two Nokia phones one x 20 and a xr20 at the same time and we go double sting

MakeNokiaGreatAgain, 19 Sep 2023Terrible low quality 'Imbukwa Style' trolling. The XR20 does have charging issues, I have experienced them myself, although not for some time now.
The phone does not charge and requires you to either reinsert the cable or restart the device. Otherwise it will charge a small amount and then stop charging.
It seems to be an issue with battery calibration, I saw one owner report that they let the battery fully discharge and then fully charge and it solved the problem.
