hey I'm natan today we're checking out the sanam xp7 now this phone is available in Canada for about 750 Canadian dollars unlock and can be yours for about $100 with the two-year contract depending on your carrier we should be hearing more about a US release later this year now the phone is unapologetically bulky it weighs half a pound and it's about 20 millimeters thick eight tenths of an inch it technically fits in my pocket but certainly not comfortable now there's just one exposed port that headphone jet up on the top everything else is sealed up tight to keep out dust in water and the phone can survive in up to two meters of water for 30 minutes that's about six and a half feet it's also ready to survive drops of about two meters out the hard surfaces like concrete or you probably guess that from the rubber shell of course that also means that the 4800 milliamp hour battery is locked up tight but it gets about 40 hours of talk time I was generally fine when I was away from an outlet for a day or two or three the phone is a 1.2 gigahertz quad-core processor and it tackled all the apps and games I threaded with ease there's also 16 gigs of internal storage and the phone runs Android 4.4 KitKat called Kali was great though I tested it on AT&T LTE network here in San Francisco your experience will vary in Canada the noise cancelling microphone help people hear what I'm saying pretty clearly and if you're surrounded by loud machinery don't worry the speakerphone up top here it gets really loud the display is a bit of a sore point it's got a lonely 800 by 480 pixel resolution and runs into problems with color shifting colors start to look washed out when you look at the phone off axis but even though the colors can look a bit off you'll always be able to see the screen pretty clearly even in direct sunlight the phone also supports things like push-to-talk and that red button on the side can call up a 24/7 emergency support hotline aim to help workers who might be alone in a need of assistance somewhere now the Sun XP 7 isn't a phone for everyone in fact it's not really a phone for most people there are things that could do better I'd like to see high resolution screen and the camera could be better both of those would make for a really great experience if you say want to share something with your fellow campers or if you're working offset and you want to share something with folks back in civilization that being said if you work keep you out in the wild or you just spend a lot of time camping and you want a device that can survive the sentiment xb7 is going to get the job done I'm a trout thanks for watching
