Sonim XP3 Plus
This is Sonim XP3 Plus, the direct successor to the vanilla XP3. Despite the similarities in their names, the XP3Plus is a totally different device, especially on the inside. Like its predecessor, it also comes in a flip clamshell design, but as far as specifications are concerned, everything got upgraded.
First of all, the XP3 Plus comes in a slightly larger 2.8-inches screen, and it is powered by a more stronger octa-core Snapdragon 662 4G CPU. This chipset is backed by Adreno 610 GPU, 2GB RAM, and 16GB ROM. The cover screen also did increase to 1.3-inches, up from the 1.08-inches on the older model.
Sonim released two models of the XP3 Plus; one with an 8-megapixel main camera, and the second one without any camera sensors. As you would expect, both models are equipped with IP68 and MIL-STD-810H certification, making both dust and water resistance, as well as drop resistance from 1.5m.
If you work in a hazardous environment, or you just need a rugged flip mobile phone for your outdoor adventures, you can never be wrong with the Sonim XP3Plus. In addition to the built quality, the device also comes with a 2300mAh battery, has WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and runs AOSP Google Android 11 (Go Edition) out of the box. The table below contains the full specifications of Sonim XP3 Plus.
