The “North American leader in rugged mobile solutions” is not one to adopt fancy new technologies and gimmicky features just because they’re trendy and everyone does it, so we probably should have expected a unique marketing angle and practical use case for the dual camera recently rendered on the back of the Kyocera DuraForce Pro.Indeed, the compact 5-inch sequel to last year’s far too large 5.7-inch DuraForce XD is now ...
