Makers of the world’s ''toughest'' phone introduce an even more rugged – and now completely waterproof - phone for people who work in demanding environments.
Sonim Technologies, makers of the award-winning Sonim XP1 (aka the JCB Toughphone), has announced the latest addition to its Xtreme Performance Series, the Xtreme Performance 3. The Sonim XP3 will be the world’s only rugged waterproof GSM mobile phone.
The XP3 has a more rugged specification than the XP1 and can withstand more shocks and drops than its predecessor. Most importantly, the phone can be fully submersed for 30 minutes within one metre of water. In addition, the XP3 boasts an IP-57 rating and is designated with a Mil-Spec rating of 810F against salt, fog humidity, transport and thermal shock. The phone is rugged in every detail – the keyboard touch buttons are tested to function beyond 500,000 pushes.
The Sonim XP3 is capable of working at -20C or at +60C without breaking down.
Since the XP3 is purposed to be a communications tool for use in rugged environments, it is equipped with a powerful 1180 mAh battery that delivers 5.5 hours of talk and over nine days of standby time.
“It’s true, it doesn’t matter how you break it, or whether you get it wet during the course of your work, we at Sonim Technologies will provide you with a replacement, no questions asked,” says Plaschke. “In fact, we challenge the industry to match our warranty.”
Bob Plaschke, CEO of Sonim Technologies says, "The Sonim XP3 is our reminder to our customers that no matter how rugged and tough their environment, we can provide the phone that will withstand the stress.”
The Sonim XP3 is available in Sweden, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom.
