Sonim Technologies will host a "World's Toughest Phone Tour" at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and challenge attending media to torture the "World's Toughest" phone.

Bob Plaschke, CEO of Sonim comments: ”If you’ve been watching the videos on YouTube, you’ll have seen the Sonim shot with a Glock 9mm by Mobil magazine and a Remington rifle by Metro, the largest paper in Sweden.  You’ll have seen the Sonim kicked around, pushed around, put in the oven, put in the freezer and still surviving.  I’d like to invite you all to have a go and see if you can finally break it.”

The Sonim XP1 is an IP-54 certified, mil-spec approved, bluetooth and Push-To-Talk enabled GSM phone, engineered to meet the needs of people who work outside the office and outdoor sports enthusiasts, the Sonim XP1 works perfectly in harsh environments. Certified to withstand shock, water, wind, dust, dirt and extreme temperatures, the Sonim XP1 is the only certified phone designed specifically for the lives of people who work and play in demanding conditions.

As well as being very shock water-resistant, the Sonim XP1 is backed by an Unconditional 3 year warranty - and a lifetime warranty for the phone housing with immediate in-store replacement if needed.

The World’s toughest tour will be driving around the main venue:

Fira de Barcelona – Montjuic Avinguda Reina Maria Cristina, s/n 08004 Barcelona
And at selected locations around the city inviting the public to torture the phone.
