Most smart phones today are designed with advanced features in mind. But not all of them may be designed specifically to last, even when under extreme elements. This is the area where a smart phone like the new Sonim XP1300 Core stands out.
Sonim has been known for their rugged smart phones. The XP1300 Core is one of their latest with features that place ruggedness even a level up. For one, it is the first ever GSM handset to be rated IP-68. This means that the Sonim XP1300 Core can be submerged 2 meters under water for long periods of time, and still work. It is also shock and dust proof for added protection.
The Sonim XP1300 core features a 2-inch high resolution scratch resistant display, 3 megapixel camera, a multimedia player, and a Gore-Tex covered speaker. Even its connectors for accessories are waterproof. The Sonim XP1300 Core will be available by November of this year and may be expected to cost US$399.
