What the Critics Are Saying...


Mobile Syrup
Mobile Syrup

While the Sonim XP8 isn’t for everyone, myself included, it might be the perfect device for someone like my father. He doesn’t care about having the slimmest or most attractive handset. He just wants a phone that works and that that he can watch the occasional YouTube video on, but that also survive...
