The Sonim XP3300 Force is officially the ‘World's Toughest Phone’ - securing its entry into the Guinness World Records™ hall of fame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFLIzzO_-5c. The ultra-rugged phone survived an extreme drop test from a remarkable 25 metres onto concrete without operational damage – a drop higher than a twelve-story building.

To fulfil the strict requirements, the record attempt was witnessed by independent judges from Guinness World Records™, who tested the phone to confirm it was still working following the drop, beating the previous World Record of 3.25m held by the 2008 JCB Toughphone.

Bob Plaschke, CEO, Sonim Technologies comments, “We wanted to stamp Sonim’s name on the World Record, confirming that the Sonim XP3300 Force is the toughest phone in the world. Most mobile phones are drop-tested to a metre, which just isn’t enough in extreme environments such as construction sites, oil rigs or in the forest.”

Plaschke continues, “Establishing the Guinness World Record  for highest mobile phone drop assures remote and tough workers that their Sonim phone is ‘fit for purpose’ and can withstand the daily knocks, drops and tumbles.”
