Nokia debuts new ‘military grade’ smartphone equipped with 5G

The maker of Nokia-branded phones debuted its latest line of three new devices on Tuesday, including a “military grade” smartphone that’s equipped with 5G capabilities.

HMD Global, which was created by former Nokia executives in 2016 and bought Nokia’s ailing mobile phone unit back from Microsoft in a $350 million deal, said Tuesday that the new Nokia XR20 will be the most durable phone its ever created. “Built to survive anything life can throw at you, the Nokia XR20 can withstand much more than you’ll ever demand of it,” the Espoo, Finland-based firm said in a statement.
