Sonim’s rugged feature phone, the XP100, is now available for purchase in Europe following its official announcement at the IFA event in Berlin last September. The XP100, priced at €99, has been spotted on Deutsche Telekom’s website, confirming its availability in Germany.

The XP100 supports 2G, 3G, and 4G networks, covering a wide range of LTE bands, including Band 1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, and 41. This makes it versatile for users in Europe and potentially in other regions where these bands are supported.
The phone is powered by a Unisoc T127 single-core processor running at 1.0GHz and comes with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 128GB via microSD.
