In my experience, the harder and more scratch resistant the glass the easier it shatters. Maybe the more sustainable option would be to have normal glass or some kind of plastic that you can easily replace every 1-2 years? I guess it is a hard problem though since for phones the glas is usually bonded to the touch sensor and the LCD. Maybe you can make the screen protector a first-class citizen.<p>Also I'm not a huge fan that every capacitive touch screen is glossy. The anti-glare coating doesn't really work well for me. You can get <i>matted</i> displays (for example car GPSes often have them), but they have a diffusor that reduces the visual quality. I think it would be nice to try a non-matted, but non-glossed display like what you have on certain desktop monitors. Then you could also try other top cover materials instead of gorilla glass.
So:<p>> better for the environment, lasts 5 years<p>and:<p>> Battery type: Non Removable<p>You can't really live up to your bold claims, can you?
I do hope that this phone will be their breakthrough product. They used to be the monopoly of the phone industry yet fell off since the rise of the smartphone era.
<i>"Nokia XR20 is designed for the long run. A phone that can stand up to anything life throws at it [...] with up to 3 years of OS upgrades and 4 years of monthly security updates, so your phone will be up to date into 2025. And because you’ll be using it longer, it’s better for the environment."</i><p>So, you end with users running an unpatched life-centric device <i>for years</i> after 2025. That's better for the environment...and for the ransomgangs.
Mind that this is not Nokia producing this phone, but a company called ‘HMD Global Oy’ as visible in the cookie warning and the space below the footer that the cookie warning covers. They’re just licensing the Nokia name.<p>Considering this phone heavily advertises its long term support, it is pertinent to point out that the producer of this phone is not, in fact, Nokia, and its real producer has not yet stood the test of time.
I used my E6 for almost ten years (replaced the battery once). 3~4 years is just the life of the lithium battery. Nowadays it is the software's fault that perfectly serviceable devices are out of use. I give about 1½ years before they give up.

Gosh, I want Nokia to come back to the smartphone game so much. Especially with their crazy unique cameras! Does anyone remember the N95 and how revolutionary it was with its 8GB tiny spinning hard drive?
