Editorial report

Sonim XP5plus technical sheet

The Sonim XP5plus is for buyers who want a rugged phone and put protection ahead of a compact display and low weight. Its 2.8″ display has 143 ppi, among the lowest pixel densities of phones launched around the same time. At 275 g, it is also among the heaviest of its time.

Its hardware is weaker than most phones launched around the same time, with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage; storage is expandable. The camera’s 8 MP resolution is among the lowest of its time, and video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. Its 3500 mAh battery is also among the lowest-capacity batteries of its time.

The defining feature is resistance: IP68, IPX9K and MIL-STD-810H cover water, dust, impacts and drops, with a stated waterproof depth of 1.5 m. The phone also has Android 11, Dual Nano-SIM, USB Type-C, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. Gorilla Glass 3 covers the TFT LCD display. The Sonim XP5plus suits buyers who prioritize a rugged build and communication features such as PTT control knobs over a detailed display, a high-resolution camera or a high-capacity battery.
