Sonim launches ultra-rugged XP3plus 5G flip phone on AT&T

SAN DIEGO - Sonim Technologies (NASDAQ:SONM) announced on Tuesday the availability of its new ultra-rugged XP3plus 5G flip phone on AT&T’s network, with the device certified for use on FirstNet, the nationwide wireless communication platform for first responders.

The XP3plus 5G, an upgrade to the company’s 4G model, features a Qualcomm SM4450 5G chipset, larger display, and enhanced 3000mAh removable battery providing up to 30 hours of talk time. The device includes 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage, expandable to 512GB. This product launch comes as Sonim generates annual revenues of $57.92 million with a gross profit margin of 22.45%.

As a FirstNet Ready device, the XP3plus 5G has been certified to operate on FirstNet with dedicated coverage and capacity for emergency personnel.

"The XP3plus 5G delivers secure, reliable, and distraction-free communication tools for mission-critical professionals," said Michael Coad, SVP of Product at Sonim Technologies, according to the press release.

The phone comes in two variants—with and without a camera—to accommodate different security requirements across government, defense, and industrial sectors. Both models meet military-grade durability standards MIL-STD-810H and IP68 certification, making them waterproof up to five feet for 30 minutes and operational in temperatures from -4°F to 131°F.

Additional features include an ultra-loud front-facing speaker delivering over 100dB audio, dual-microphone noise cancellation, and dedicated Push-to-Talk and SOS buttons designed for use with gloves.

The device will be available starting Wednesday, August 20, online at att.com and through FirstNet for qualified public safety agencies and personnel. Each phone comes with a three-year comprehensive warranty and access to Sonim’s customer support services. While currently unprofitable, InvestingPro analysts anticipate the company will return to profitability this year, with detailed financial projections and valuation metrics available to subscribers.

In other recent news, Sonim Technologies announced the launch of its XP Pro ultra-rugged smartphone across Canada, available through major carriers such as Bell, Telus, Rogers, and SaskTel. The device is designed for use in harsh environments and meets rigorous durability and water resistance standards. Additionally, Sonim Technologies is set to be acquired by Social Mobile in an all-cash transaction valued at $20 million, with an expected closing in the fourth quarter of 2025. This acquisition is part of Social Mobile’s strategy to enhance its position in the enterprise mobility market. In related developments, Sonim’s board approved a special cash award for its special committee members, acknowledging their efforts in exploring strategic alternatives. Meanwhile, AJP Holding Company and Orbic North America, holding a significant stake in Sonim, have urged stockholders to vote for their proposed board nominees, criticizing the company’s decision to favor Social Mobile’s offer over Orbic’s. Sonim’s Special Committee has rejected Orbic’s proposal, citing greater value and certainty in the Social Mobile transaction. These developments reflect ongoing strategic maneuvers within Sonim Technologies.
