Outdoor enthusiasts and enterprise users looking for a “dependable” smartphone capable of withstanding the “harshest environments and mishaps” may not want to pull the trigger on the merely IP57-rated HTC Bolt just yet.
Sprint has something better up for grabs starting today, at least from a rugged design standpoint, although the Kyocera DuraForce PRO actually debuted on AT&T a little while back. You probably won’t care about trivial carrier exclusivity when reminded of this muscular 5-incher’s IP68 certification for 30-minute water immersions up to 2 meters deep, or Military Standard 810G compliance.
The latter covers everything from protection against shock to vibration, temperature extremes, low pressure, solar radiation, icing/freezing rain and so on. But there’s also a Super Wide View 1080p Action Camera in tow that Kyocera and Sprint underscore as a key selling point, in addition to your conventional 13MP rear and 5MP front shooters.
The industry-first cam trio ensures you can even take the best possible snapshots underwater, as well as in other difficult “circumstances and environments.” All in all, the DuraForce PRO isn’t exactly your typical Android powerhouse, nonetheless impressing with its quality – pricing ratio at $432 on the Now Network, Full HD screen resolution, Snapdragon 617 processor, fingerprint reader and 3,240 mAh battery included.
