30-day free trial of ExpressVPN
Nokia smartphone owners will have access to a 30-day free trial of ExpressVPN – currently, the best offer yet available on a smartphone from this premium VPN provider. Starting with the newly announced Nokia XR20, all future Nokia G-series, and X-series portfolio of smartphones will be able to benefit from ExpressVPN from the start of their Nokia smartphone journey.
"Many people may not realize the extent to which their internet activity may be exposed, putting their privacy and security at risk. Mobile carriers and ISPs can see and log what sites you visit, what apps you use, and other details about what you do online. On shared networks, there's also the risk of hackers or prying eyes accessing your unencrypted data.
We are delighted that Nokia phones will be using ExpressVPN to provide protection out of the box that enables customers to take back control of their online privacy by putting the power back in their hands—and, in this case, their handsets."
Harold Li, Vice President at ExpressVPN
