Sonim XP8

I've driven over it, threw it across the parking lot, into the bottom of my pool, stomped on it and given it all the abuse I can muster. But it stays rock solid. Best phone ever built. Is it the prettiest or fastest? No, but it works great for us. Sonim is coming with a 5G version and when they do, we will migrate to that one most likely.

A really nice phone we have I believe 20 of these right now on 4G with verizon. But since the last update verizon sent out on these phones they suck. Or I should say the update sucked. So now we are talking with AT&T AND sprint they already have these working on 5G and slot better that verizon

This phone is fantastic. It is tough as nails, has a great battery life (replaceable battery at that) has fantastic reception, it is a fantastic phone for anyone who spends a lot of time outside in the elements. Sure, it is thicker than most phones but that is the price you pay for durability. A+++ Phone

If you are tired of the thin little phones with weak batteries and weak audio to match, this phone just may be the solution. First off, this phone is heavy- that's because it has its own armor- no need to buy an otter case to protect the phone- it's built in! Also, this phone has a massive 4800 mA battery- it lasts days on a single charge-DAYS! The audio from the ear speaker at the top makes it easy to take a call in a crowded restaurant where many people are talking loudly- you can hear the caller clearly, much better than my iPhone 7Plus. The speakers for the speakerphone feature provide 100dB+ sound pressure level, so you can hear the speakerphone clearly in the same sort of noisy environment. The display is crisp and bright, and I can see it well in bright sunlight. I have not experienced slow applications as others have stated in their reviews. I find the 8-core 2+GHz processor very responsive and applications run smartly. Many of my friends have commented that the phone seems much faster than their brands of phones. The Bluetooth and WiFi work well with my home and my car. In quiet settings, the call clarity is nothing short of amazing- one can turn the phone volume down and one can still clearly hear the other party, and my friends who are audiophiles tell me its the best phone they have heard. Several of my ham radio friends are considering ditching their current phones to buy the XP8. All in all, I am quite pleased with this phone- it's a better phone than any other smart phone I am acquainted with, it's a better mini-computer than any other smart phone with which I am familiar.

This phone has so many features. Connects easily to other devices, the fingerprint sensor a definite plus. It has a really good antenna which is lacking in some other phones. I get a seriously good signal even in the mountains of california. Very durable phone, but heavy. Who puts a phone up to their ear anymore?

Love this phone, I work in a garage and have a lifted truck and drop my phone alot on concrete. I've even had this in the pool with me and dropped it in a creek while fishing and there was no issue. Its very loud too, almost too loud in most cases but nice since i can listen to music in a loud garage. performance is great too, just as fast as any other i've used in the past. Only thing i wash it had was larger expandable memory but that's not a huge deal.
