Sonim XP7 - Pros & Cons

The main earpiece produces excellent volume
the LCD is plenty bright enough for indoor and outdoor use
data speeds most of the time
The camera software is quite minimalistic
The cameras are pretty great too
saves battery power and is quite decent
Kyocera has an excellent selection of rugged smartphones
Quality and Networking Call quality is pretty good
Android productivity app performance was decent in my tests
photos are quite sharp
sturdy
water-resistant shell

device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
the pixel density would be rather low
anything special
off a second story balcony and it survived
cell phones battery life diminishes
Flashlight apps on phones drain battery
to no microSD card slot the storage is somewhat limited
age is quite a poor looking panel
decidedly low end display
thick
bulky
and heavy
screwdriver as the SIM card slot is screwed shut
it looks like it could survive an apocalypse
It is not your Average Joe s phone
16GB of internal memory is insufficient
nor they can survive being dropped from a roof
low-light performance is especially poor
There is no microSD memory card slot
some benches in the PC Labs
card slot is actually screwed shut
no side tone in the microphone
it does not support wireless charging
premium price and bulky chassis
The foreground details are muddled here
the colors are a bit off
This shot is overexposed
and a little too blue
