      Old trends come back. In fashion it's something 10-15 years when old clothes are back in. Now seems like with phones also. Back in the day when they were so big that you can use it for either a hammer or to kill someone. Now seems that this is coming back also as they cant make anything small and when it comes to rugged they are already big so let have another 7 inch screen plus large bezel around it.

      When construction people who are the main market for these then why these need to be so big ? They have no time to play games on it or do some photoshoots or anything. It's just a tool. Even construction workers cloths pockets are not so large to fit these phones in them. I know it cause i have construction cloths and even my Nokia Lumia 830 was already too big for pants pocket that in sideways went in but getting out was harder and when your in a hurry to answer a call then it's not easy task to get the phone out.

      Never mind that the large screens on a phones that have like Helia A22/P22 SE460 and the like make no sense. Even 480 wont make sense as it wont support any good quality camera that is sometimes useful to make a picture of something and then go to shop to buy parts for what ever you need or just need to fix some problem and need a good quality picture that show up the problem.

        Joe, 13 Jul 2021Exactly. And, unless we see something like the Shattershiel... moreExactly. These so called rugged phones are just a scam. Just a phone with a hard case attached to it. I have two Shatter Shield phones and they are even better than any rugged phone out there

          Anonymous, 13 Jul 2021"With our newest phone, you will never buy Nokia again"Exactly. And, unless we see something like the Shattershield display, I call it bluff.

            "With our newest phone, you will never buy Nokia again"

              Nokia hopping on the Rugged Scam Train. A phone with a case - "That'll be an extra $200".

              I bet this will cost and perform just like Sammy's A52, that has IP67, but "upgraded" with a glued-on rubber case, an IPS panel, and a garbage tier camera.

                Wereweeb, 13 Jul 2021The SD 480 is not far from just being a 720G with 5G. Nothi... moreFunny story, SD 480 defeats the SD 720... making me wonder... why Qualcomm didn't continued to revive the Snapdragon 600 series...

                Time to revamp all the series of Qualcomm once at all.

                    Mobilemaster, 13 Jul 2021Snapdragon 480 CPU? Oh come on, I know it is a rugged phone... moreThe SD 480 is not far from just being a 720G with 5G. Nothing amazing, but at least it has A76 cores and it's made in Samsung 8nm. That's usable, especially for Nokia standards.

                        Better have a Mediatek Dimensity series chipset than a Snapdragon 400 or 600 series, the heck!!!

                              They need to release high end nokia phone with advanced features asap to show the world what nokia name means. Something like they did with nokia n9.

Oh come on, I know it is a rugged phone... moreTheir 'market research' shows that rugged phone users (always the people that work on construction sites) do not use phones other than browsing the web, since they are not actually people and thus no not need phone for anything else than work. And so a weak processor is preferred choice for those phones

                                    rugged phones are not even rugged lol. You put a case on any phone and it becomes a rugged phone. Rest everything is the same even the screen is gorilla glass on both kind of phones. So where do rugged phones stand out ? Even mid range phones come with basic water resistance and a big battery, the features that used to be rugged phone exclusive a few years ago

                                      Snapdragon 480 CPU? Oh come on, I know it is a rugged phone, but that doesn't mean it has to be low-end.
