Sonim and Verizon have launched the Sonim XP Pro 5G, a new rugged smartphone that's significantly slimmer and sleeker than Sonim's previous models. The $550 phone is rated IP68 and IPX9K1 for water and dust. It also meets military durability standards for temperature/humidity, thermal shock, mechanical shock/drop/vibration, water, and solar radiation. It also carries non-incendive ratings for environments where flammability is concern. Like most Sonim phones, it comes with a robust accessory ecosystem, including rugged headsets, vehicle kits, multi-bay chargers, and more. A loud dual-speaker system offers 100+ dB of volume for clear sound in loud environments. The phone sports two customizable shortcut buttons that can be assigned to functions like PTT and SOS. It also comes with a 3-year warranty, and Sonim promises OS updates through Android 16. For customers with supply chain / national security concerns, the XP Pro is manufactured in Taiwan. The XP Pro supports Verizon's "Ultra Wideband" mmWave 5G. The 6.6 FHD+ display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus II and works with gloves. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB storage (expandable by up to 2 TB). It has a 5,000 mAh battery and support both wireless charging and fast charging. It has a 50 megapixel main camera and 13 megapixel wide-angle camera. It supports Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and fingerprint security. The Sonim XP Pro 5G is available from Verizon starting today for $550.
