Best phone screen I have used. Not sure why, but I get just about zero strain with that screen, and compared to Moto LCD's there is less subtle stinging in my eyes. I was not expecting such a comfortable screen. It is LCD with high resolution, and I tested it repeatedly for text reading with the Moto LCD models. It's definitely better. I think the Moto LCD's probably compromise on comfort due to trying to keep the devices as thin as possible. Sonim XP Pro is a rugged phone but it's not any bigger than a standard phone in a rugged case. You get used to it fast. In fact, I think it's more comfortable using a thicker phone vs a thinner one. Thinner mainly is better for keeping it in a small pocket? Not sure what the fuss is about in terms of making phones as thin as possible. Open to insights from others.
For a Moto LCD the best is the Moto G 2025, but it's much lower resolution and specs than the XP Pro flagship model. G55 is serviceable, but if you are a heavy user you're definitely going to notice improved comfort from the XP Pro.
I'm not keen on the G75 so haven't tried it because Motorola has many units with headphone jacks, so if I am going with a Moto I would prefer one with a jack.
Can't tell you how many people I see holding phones right to the head when talking. Quickly plugging in a compact wired headset is so much better for health, but as I was told the jack was removed to encourage people to damage their health.
Talked with another techie today, and he told me the USB-C ports are vulnerable to wear and tear. It's just annoying and stupid trying to use a headphone jack adapter. I have tried many, and the mic quality with most of them on most phones is inferior to using the phone directly or using a headphone jack.
Saw one slightly wiser person today talking with a wireless headset. Definitely better than holding the phone to the head, but he was using those earbuds that put the Bluetooth signal INSIDE the ears. I mean he couldn't put the BT signal any closer to his brain if he tried.
We have these incredibly sophisticated bodies and then people think they can be as careless and foolish as they wish without any repercussions. Then they wonder about their health issues and cancer diagnoses. BT is associated with thyroid nodules as well.
One woman I observed talked for a very long time with the phone held right next to her ear. She has significant health issues because I overheard the call.
Haven't seen anyone using a wired headset for calls.
Like the tech told me, the jack was removed to discourage wired headset use, which is exactly what has happened.
Regarding the XP Pro, if I didn't try it out personally I never would have known there could be a significantly more comfortable LCD phone screen than what Motorola uses. The Moto screens are harsher for some reason.
With a Moto LCD screen, one feels like they want to get done quickly any work they are doing on their phone, similar to using OLED. WIth the XP Pro, there's nothing about it that in any way bothers the eyes except for reflections when taking it outdoors. Therefore, there's no rush to finish up what you are doing with the phone. Can use it heavily for long sessions.
Moto LCD still is better than most other options and won't cause any lasting damage to your eyes or brain, but against the XP Pro you do clearly discern inferior comfort.
XP Pro has vertical polarization, not circular, but most LCD phones are exactly the same, including all the Moto models. At first I thought this was a considerable negative until actually trying out the screen for myself. It is a negative in that you can't use polarized lenses in landscape mode, but other than that I haven't noticed any issues. The screen is really, unusually comfortable. The eyes love it.
