Kyocera might not be the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world but this may soon change with the all new Hydro Vibe. This brand new smartphone from Kyocera is something really special as it re-defines durability.
With the Kyocera Hydro Vibe, users will no longer have to worry about their smartphone when on pool parties, going to the beach or even when taking a shower. The device’s water-resistance is so great that it can take a meter-deep dive and last for 30 minutes with ease. This is much better than the latest Samsung Galaxy S5.
Another special thing about the Hydro Vibe is its price. Being a Sprint-exclusive, the smartphone has a price tag of only $29.99 with contract. For that small fee, consumers will get to enjoy a 4.5” IPS screen that offers 960×540 pixels resolution. Also, the screen is impact resistant.
Moving on, the Hydro Vibe runs on the Android 4.3 Jellybean which is a stable OS. As great as it sounds, the Hydro Vibe lacks in several things. The smartphone offers a mediocre call quality. Also, the 8MP rear camera is somewhat basic and also poorly tuned. Finally is the problem where 3G speeds feel like Edge.
All in all, the Kyocera Hyrdo Vibe is by far among the best outdoor smartphone yet. If you’re the adventurous sort, then this is the perfect device for you.
