kek, 04 May 2023lmao, then nvm They are probably just downloading that APK... moreIf the apk can be downloaded on every phone, then why do results differ from phone to phone and firmware to firmware?

    you have to suffer, 09 May 2023sd870 is far ahead from sd695. how come was it rebranded wh... moreSimilar cores, similar architecture, different clock speeds and a worse ISP. Experience may depend in-person and not by stated specifications

      YUKI93, 04 May 2023While I am tempted by the IP69K certification and the 4800m... morei'd rather buy xr21 just for the punch hole display though. didnt like the xcover6's 2019 display model. but they are both rugged and does the job well.

        Minu, 04 May 2023The SD695 is just a rebranded SD870 with a worse ISP though... moresd870 is far ahead from sd695. how come was it rebranded when its just the worst successor from 690?

          Question , 06 May 2023So each grade, example IP38 then IP48 then IP58 then IP 68 ... moreActually every certification has a predefined „list" of do's and don'ts. When the device is designed, that list needs to be throughly followed, everything less, won't receive the certifiication. After manufacturig there are all tests to be done before certification, if it passes, it will be certified, if not, well...

                Aibenq, 04 May 2023Actually IP69K is the highest one, including immersion test... moreSo each grade, example IP38 then IP48 then IP58 then IP 68 must be done the IP certificate test lol. I don't agree with you.

                They just select the specific IP for testing the device only.

                          But Hey! The Chipset's on par with the 765G, so that's kind of a plus.

                          If you care more about repairability, features and speed, The Xcover is the better option.
                          If you care more about sustainability, Stock Experience and Battery Life, The XR21 is the better option.

                            Too Expensive with only using 695, minimum we got 778G or Dimensity 1080

                              While I am tempted by the IP69K certification and the 4800mAh battery with 33W wired charging, I can't help but think about the Samsung Galaxy XCover6 Pro. Yes, the Samsung is £90 more than the Nokia, and it doesn't get the IP69K certification alongside a smaller battery with slower wired charging. However, I get a user-replaceable removable battery, USB-C 3.2 with wired DeX support, and a more powerful Snapdragon 778G SoC.

                              This is a tough choice. The XR21 is cheaper and more robust, but the XCover6 Pro leans more towards rugged mobile productivity.

                                    Anonymous, 03 May 2023Don't forget that IP69K and IP68 are different tests, ... moreActually IP69K is the highest one, including immersion test, the difference is IP68 is not able to handle high pressure water jet, while IP69K able to due better water proofing. Water proofing for submerge is easier compared to high pressure water jet,

                                    also, for each number in IPXX rating, the phone must pass the previous number rating test first. so IP169K is must passing IP68 test first.
