Sonim XP3 Plus XP3900 4G - Unlocked - Rugged Android 11 Flip Smartphone

Delivery and service of y2kphones was great. This flipphone works perfect just as is, for calling and texting.
It has wifi and mobile data and a build in browser (which was important to me) and most websides work great: to google the weather, look at pictures and I can even use a website for my job. Only pop ups for coockies and stuff are sometimes imposible to get rid of (due to the screen being small) so those websides wont work.

Network works great in germany too (Telekom) for calls and texting, obv mainly 4g. The camera is ok but useble, very nostalgic. Calender, Alarm, Notes and other basic phone apps work great too. Batery lasts me 2- 3 days which is enough, i can put it on the table, forget about it during the weekend and can start my workday with enough battery till the evening. Yes its a little heavy and yes the bottom half is thiccc and yes after 3 or 4 days you will get used to it and actually find it charming.

However:
I deleted the preinstalled appstore (apkpure) because downloading apps didnt work. I tried to download whatsapp- didnt work, apk files- didnt work. However i didnt go into developer setting and didnt try connecting it to a pc (im lazy) but according to the other review even that didnt work... Its a little annoying because i paid a little extra just for the apkpure app preinstalled becuase i didnt want to deal with all that.
I just use basic messaging now and told everyone i know to reach out to me through that.

All in all:
I fell in love, Underrated phone, 10/10 would buy again, i will never go back to a smartphone and will use this one untill I or it dies, whatever comes first

Arrived fast & in perfect condition.. it runs a stripped version of android 11; no app store, primitive internet browser, wi-fi and bluetooth are easily disabled if you don't require them on a daily basis. battery was 88% charged when installed and lasted 5+ days with minimal use after being charged to 100%. the phone is extremely durable and functions as a basic communication tool; phone calls, sms, mms (8mp camera), and two programmable keys. responsive keyboard, fast, good form factor. purely utilitarian.

good dumbphone. strong and good battery life. 5*

"This phone is built like a cinder block and I mean that as a compliment and a warning. If you want slim, stylish, modern.. Forget it. If you want a phone that could probably survive a fall off a balcony into a volcano, this is your guy. I destroy every device I own, but this one refuses to die. .
Battery is ridiculous. I text, play music, and I still get four days per charge. The keyboard is actually really nice to use, after you turn off the cursed default predictive texting feature in settings. Camera is way better than you’d think. Bluetooth and hotspot both work fine. Only downside is the web browser. It technically works, but it’s like trying to browse the web on a microwave. Overall: ugly but loyal. A brick, but a beautiful brick."
