Editorial report

Sonim XP3plus technical sheet

The Sonim XP3plus suits people who put protection from water, dust, shocks, and drops ahead of a large display or a high-capacity battery. Its IP68 and MIL-STD-810H protection covers water and dust as well as shocks and drops, making that its clearest reason to consider the phone.

The TFT LCD display measures 2.8 inches and has a pixel density of 143 ppi, among the weakest of its time; the compact screen also means limited detail. A 1.3-inch secondary display is included. The 2300 mAh battery capacity is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time, making it a significant limitation. Wireless charging is absent, although that feature was typical for phones of its time.

A Snapdragon 662, 2 GB of RAM, and maximum storage of 16 GB make for a limited configuration; both RAM and storage capacities are among the lowest of its time. Storage can be expanded, and the 3.5 mm audio jack supports wired headphones. Android 11, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0, and GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo cover the listed connections and navigation systems. The XP3plus makes most sense for people who prioritize its protection and can accept a small screen, limited memory, and a low-capacity battery.
