Editorial report

Sonim XP5s technical sheet

The Sonim XP5s is for buyers who want a basic phone with protection from water, dust, and knocks. The trade-off is a small, low-resolution display: its 2.64-inch size and 4:3 aspect ratio leave little room for content, and its pixel density is 204 ppi.

Its IP68 protection covers water and dust, while MIL-STD-810G covers knocks and drops. The battery has a capacity of 3180 mAh. The phone comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, modest amounts for basic use, and storage can be expanded. It runs Android 8.1 and includes Dual Nano-SIM, USB Type-C, and dual-band Wi-Fi.

The rear camera is 5 MP and records video at 720p and 30 fps, a basic setup for photos and clips. The phone also has FM radio and GPS with GLONASS. It has no NeoScore because its available specifications do not cover enough categories for one. Overall, the Sonim XP5s is a better fit as a rugged phone for essential tasks than for anyone prioritizing a larger display, more memory, or a versatile camera.
