Kind of wondering if anyone owns this badboy in 2023?

So... after repeated death and destruction of multiple phones at my job no matter of the case or brand, I have accepted I need a rugged phone despite the limitations. I am leaning to this for the wireless charging (I would rather have it and not need it than have the port die and not have it when needed) and the promise of updates. Just curious ifanyoneon Android Central still has it? Have any opinions?

Bueller? Bueller?

I still have and use my xr20. I love it. The one complaint I had was that the battery didn't seem as good as it should, and I was thinking it was someone else's returned unit. But the battery was a lot better than I thought. I need to get the battery replaced.

I appreciate it. It seems the 2 main complaints on the phone is the ease of it turning on in your pocket and the camera's. I am not a photography guy so I am sure I will be fine on that.

The battery is interesting. Looks like from earlier posts you have had it a year? What was the life like when you bought it as opposed to now?

The battery was only giving me maybe 5 hours of screen on time. I thought it should be at least 6 hours, but expected it to be about 8 hours. Now I've ruined it to about 90 minutes of screen-on time. From keeping it plugged in all the time. I've had the phone close to 2 years. It seemed possessed the first few months, and I can't explain how certain things could happen, but the reset fixed everything. I just need a new battery and I'll be all set.

They've come up with a new version of this phone, if you'd like to check that out. I'm sure it's on their website. Maybe this one has a lower price now.

The camera turns on Everytime I try to turn off the screen. It's annoying but not a deal breaker.
