Sonim XP8

If you're looking for something durable this is it, I've beaten on phone for 18 months and haven't come lose to killing it. It's functional and works well. I don't need "5G" nor do I want it for that matter problem solved. It's big and clunky so if you need fast and flashy buy a worm phone or a Kimchee pot. But then I loved my star tac I couldn't kill that either. No more cracked screens and burnt out batteries and it's half the price of the glitz and glamor phones just not sexy lol

I've had the same phone number for 29 years. Can't even tell you how many phones I've had since my first bag phone in 1992. This is the best phone so far I've ever had. Reception and battery life are amazing. If your on social media all day this isn't for you. If you need a phone that can hold up just get this.

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

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?

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
