Sonim Technologies, Inc. is set to launch its first ultra-rugged, 5G smartphone called the Sonim XP10 with major carriers in the near future. Unlike typical rugged phones, the XP10 features a lighter, sleeker protective outer shell that fits comfortably in a pocket. It comes with a powerful 5000mAh battery that can last through multiple shifts without a charge, making it ideal for workers who require extended usage. The battery is also removable, allowing for easy replacement and reducing downtime on the job. Sonim has prioritized audio quality, enhancing the XP10’s sound experience with 100dB+ speakers and Goodix echo and noise cancellation technology, ensuring clear communication even in noisy work environments.

The XP10 is designed to meet ultra-rugged standards, boasting certifications such as MIL-STD-810H and Non-Incendive Class I, II, and III Div 2 ratings. It has undergone rigorous testing and can withstand drops from six feet onto concrete, submersion in six feet of water for 60 minutes, and extreme weather conditions from -4°F (-20°C) to 131°F (55°C). Sonim’s comprehensive 3-year warranty further sets it apart from traditional mobile warranties, reducing the total cost of ownership, especially when compared to consumer devices.

Peter Liu, Sonim’s CEO, emphasized that the XP10 redefines what ultra-rugged means in the enterprise. The device’s design has been streamlined based on customer feedback, while maintaining Sonim’s high-performance standards. Running on the Android 12 operating system, the XP10 promises an intuitive and responsive user experience, crucial for workers facing extreme conditions. For those in industries where reliable and durable communication devices are a necessity, the Sonim XP10 is a compelling option.

This rugged smartphone is an ideal choice for individuals who require tough devices for unpredictable weather conditions, physically demanding jobs, or instant and reliable team communication. Its glove-friendly screen makes it practical for construction workers and linemen working outdoors. Moreover, during the pandemic, the XP10’s ability to be disinfected thoroughly with soap and water or harsh chemicals like isopropyl alcohol or bleach makes it suitable for medical facilities. Industrial workers also benefit from its pressure and puncture resistance, withstanding up to one ton of metric pressure and up to 4J of impact energy.
