Sonim Launches XP3plus 5G Ultra Rugged Flip Phone On AT&T; FirstNet Certified

Purpose-Built for First Responders, Military, Government and Enterprise Users in Construction, Hospitality, Manufacturing, and many other use cases that require distraction-free phones

Sonim Technologies today announced the availability of the XP3plus 5G, its newest ultra-rugged flip phone, on AT&T. Certified for use on FirstNet – the only nationwide wireless communication platform built with and for first responders – the XP3plus 5G is designed to serve the critical communications needs of first responders, government agencies, and enterprise field workers.

Building on the award-winning XP3plus 4G, the new 5G version features significant upgrades, including a Qualcomm SM4450 5G chipset, a larger display, and an enhanced 3000mAh removable battery for up to 30 hours of talk time¹. With 4GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and expandable memory up to 512GB², the XP3plus 5G ensures powerful performance in high-demand, mission-critical scenarios.

The XP3plus 5G is FirstNet Ready, meaning it has been certified and tested to operate on FirstNet and supports the FirstNet network core, providing first responders with truly dedicated coverage and capacity when they need it and unique benefits like always-on priority and preemption.

“The XP3plus 5G delivers secure, reliable, and distraction-free communication tools for mission-critical professionals,” said Michael Coad, SVP of Product at Sonim Technologies. “Rugged flip phones remain essential for government, public safety, and industrial users. With FirstNet certification, the XP3plus 5G on AT&T ensures dependable communication during network congestion, while its long battery life and camera/non-camera options provide peace of mind and enhanced security in environments where traditional smartphones are not practical—and in many cases—not permitted.”

Two Models for Diverse Needs
The XP3plus 5G is available in camera and non-camera variants, meeting a wide range of operational requirements. The non-camera model supports security protocols in sensitive government or defense environments, while the camera-enabled version aids in visual documentation for field technicians and inspectors.

Backed by Sonim’s Industry-Leading Support
Every XP3plus 5G on AT&T comes with a 3-year comprehensive warranty³, SonimCare customer support, and access to SonimWare, a suite of software tools to streamline deployment, management, and productivity.

Engineered for Extreme Environments
Meeting Sonim Rugged Performance Standards (RPS), the XP3plus 5G surpasses MIL-STD-810H and IP68 certifications, making it ideal for high-impact industries like public safety, construction, manufacturing, and utilities. The device is also waterproof up to five feet for 30 minutes; drop-tested onto concrete; operational from -4°F to 131°F; and certified safe for use in hazardous locations (Class I, II, III, Div 2).

Superior Audio and Communication Tools
With an ultra-loud front-facing speaker delivering 100dB+ audio, dual-microphone noise and echo cancellation, and dedicated Push-to-Talk (PTT) and SOS buttons, the XP3plus 5G is designed for clear, immediate communication in any situation—even while wearing gloves or protective gear.
