Sonim XP6 Review

Score: 50.9 / 100

Sonim XP6 is a bit outdated Android phone launched in October 2014, provisioned with an extremely fast 1200 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 2.6" multi touch capacitive screen.

The Sonim XP6 is for sale in gray color. Sonim didn't put much effort to reduce weight in this 9.52 oz phone, much heavier than other similar cellphones. This cellphone isn't a very compact cellphone, considering it is 5.39 inches long,but it only packs a 2.6 inches display. This device is quite thick for today's standards, with its 0.81" thickness.

Sonim equipped this cellphone with a good level 2.6-inches screen, and a 432 x 320 resolution, making everything look very nice. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

Sonim decided to build the Sonim XP6 using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 chip, holding a great 1200 MHz Quad-Core CPU and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little bit disappointing for such a solid cellphone. Graphic rendering generally eats lots of processor cycles, so it counts with an Adreno 305 GPU ticking at 450 MHz to help the processor with those tasks. An interesting aspect of the Sonim XP6 is its quite big 8 GB internal storage memory and whereas it doesn't count with an external memory slot, it should be enough to install a couple hundred apps, although it probably wouldn't be enough if you are planning to install a couple of the heaviest games currently available.

This device has only a 5 mega-pixels back camera. This phone also shoots videos up to 1280x720 (HD) at 30 fps. Additionally, this phone's camera also features some useful features like auto-focus, flash and geo tagging.

This cellphone has amassive 4800 mAh replaceable battery, enough to provide this cellphone with an incredibly long battery duration. Sonim afirms this phone has a stand by time of 1080 hours and a talk time of 16 hs.

The Sonim XP6 includes wifi connection (which can be provided to other devices around, acting as a router), LTE 4G high speed data connection and 3G connectivity, over UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This device also comes with plenty of useful features like NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (provides communication with other cellphones, computers and accessories), GPS Localization and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is not a good choice considering it is priced $ 115, while other similar devices are offerred way cheaper than that. When you buy this phone you will also receive Magnetic USB cable, Wall charger and Multi-tool.
