Sonim XP2 Spirit 3G phone abused at MWC |
One of the most embarrassing things I have seen happen to a manufacturer at CES happened this year when Sonim challenged people to break its indestructible X3 handset. One guy from BBC succeeded, thwarting all claims of being indestructible. Sonim is showing off its new XP2 Spirit at MWC and letting people beat the thing up.
This time around, the handset is called “nearly unbreakable” and people are beating the device up pretty good with a tool belt featuring nails, wood, sand paper, and other torturous devices for which to work on the smartphone with. The handset is the firms first 3G offering.
The picture above is of a guy using the phone to rapidly whack a nail into a chunk of wood. The thing survived the beating too, which is impressive. The XP2 certainly has made out better than the CES demo so far.

During PEPCOM at the Mobile World Congress, eight tech reporters put Sonim’s newest phone, the Spirit XP2, through a torture test. We worked with them to produce videos of the tests. Here’s a link http://www.sonimtech.com/video.
