As HMD moves away from Nokia's shadow, it's vital that the brand stands out with unique features or a segment that appeals to customers. It would also help to maintain the high level of customer service and support that are key to Nokia's longstanding reputation.
HMD Global has unveiled the new rebranded XR21 smartphone, originally launched under the Nokia brand name last year. This rugged phone is assembled in Europe, similar to the XR21 5G Limited Edition that was introduced a few months ago.
