Sonim XP3300 Force officially pronounced toughest phone ever (world record, toughest, review)

The manufacturer of super tough cell phones Sonim just got another record under its belt. The company's XP3300 Force has just entered the Guinness book of records after surviving a free fall from over 25 meters.

The exact height from which the Sonim XP3300 Force was dropped was 25.29 meters (82 ft 11.67 in) and the surface it hit was concrete so it really is some achievement. Of course, just dropping your phone from such height isn't enough to book you a place in the Guiness book - it needs to go through the whole thing without sustaining operational damage.

And just to put things into perspective - the previous record-holder in this category was held by the JCB tough phone (again, Sonim-made), which reached just 3.25 meters. Talk about progress here.

You can check out the incredible stunt, performed by the Sonim XP3300 Force for yourselves in the following video.

iPhone 5 Leaked News: 3.7-inch screen confirmed by the latest iOS beta?

While some of us are looking at the just released beta 7 of the upcoming iOS as a fresh delivery of bugfixes for our iPhones, some are taking a more serious approach to it. Obviously someone took the effort to go through most of the files (or at least the images) that the new release contains and stumbled upon this new generic icon (pictured right) that supposedly depicts the iPhone 5.

The giveaway is the rectangular home button that will, reportedly, replace the circle one in the next iteration of the iPhone. And since the image contains that altered button we assume it's also representative of the overall design of the next Apple smartphone.

Now if you analyze the image more carefully you see that it also carries a different screen-to-bezel ratio than the iPhone 4, which also corresponds nicely with latest rumors of a bigger screen. The new ratio means that the iPhone 5 will come with a 3.7" screen, assuming that it has the same surface of the front panel as its predecessor.

Of course, there are too many if's here to be able to take the whole thing without a pinch of salt, but it's the second time the 3.7" rumor comes up lately, so we guess its chances of coming true are increasing.

Reportedly, there are only a few weeks left before the official iPhone 5 announcement, so we won't need to wait too much longer to find out.
