Rugged phone offers durability, lacks flagship features

A recent review of the Sonim XP Pro, a rugged phone, found it offers superior drop and water resistance compared to standard flagship models. The phone is designed to withstand extreme conditions. The Sonim XP Pro features an IP68 and IPX9K rating, along with a MIL-STD-810H rating for resistance to chemicals, punctures, and pressure. It also includes a push-to-talk button and a 5,000 mAh battery. While the Sonim XP Pro offers robust protection, its display quality and camera performance are not as advanced as those found in modern flagship phones. The phone is priced at $549.
