Sonim XP3

The Sonim XP3 suits people looking for a basic phone who put resistance ahead of battery capacity: its battery is 1,500 mAh. The 2.6-inch TFT LCD display has a density of 154 ppi, a resolution of 240 × 320 px, and a 4:3 aspect ratio. It is a small screen with modest detail, not a fit for anyone who wants a large or high-definition display.

A quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 running at 1.1 GHz is paired with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage, which can be expanded. The phone has a 5 MP camera with an LED flash, Android 8, and a single Nano-SIM slot. Connectivity includes LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, USB Type-C, and GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo navigation. It also includes FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

IP68 protection covers water and dust, while MIL-STD-810G covers knocks and drops. At 195 g and 27 mm thick, the XP3 is a bulky, heavy phone. It is best suited to people who value basic functions and protective features more than a sharp display, generous built-in storage, or a high-capacity battery. Expandable storage offers room to add more space, but the 1,500 mAh battery remains a clear limitation. Overall, this is a straightforward option for those prioritizing a protected device over display detail and battery capacity.
