Large and rugged with an old operating system
These phones are running 5.1.1(Lollipop) but work well for our towing business where a rugged phone and a large display helps. When dropped from a 30 foot overpass, they break. When run over with 20,000 lbs of truck tires, they break. But it’s less than $100 bucks to replace them, so they are ideal for field communication, that doesn’t need the last five Android operating system upgrades. We also use AT&T’s enhanced push to talk with them.

Excelente calidad
Encuentro lo máximo el celular, me gustó lo robusto y seguro que es. Lo mejor que viene desbloqueado y lo puedo utilizar con un chip nacional. 100% recomendable.

Most Apps won’t work on it
Normal apps that are used do not work on this phone. Amazon app isn’t supported. It’s like using a phone from 2008. The phone is a great size and seem to be high quality. Software needs major upgrades.

Obsolete. Not recommended. Dumb phone–not smart
This is my third Kyocera phone. They hold up well. This model, however, hasn’t had a software update since 2016. As a result, half of apps aren’t even available for download; because they are incompatible with the old operating system.This model has very little internal memory. An SD card is a necessity.This phone is a good choice as a cheap, durable way to make calls and surf the web. But if you rely on any extra apps, there’s a good chance you won’t have access to them.

Tough phone
Put this thing through abuse for the last year. The durability is great. I’ve yet to scratch the screen bad enough to show up when backlit. And I have abused it. Daily drops from my pocket, sitting on it, dropped wrenches on it, etc. It rides in a pocket full of keys sand and wrenches, nearly 24/7.This is a better phone than the regular duraforce I used the year previous. Battery life has come down some, but it’s still good enough to last the day.Couldn’t be happier.

Phone is HUGE!
I own an “enduro” style motorcycle looking for a “rugged” phone. Ordered this one because for the price and stats of being a rugged phone this fit the billIt said it was wide and yes its WIDE actually its TOO WIDE! if you use a Ram Mount or Other cheaper mounts you can’t use this phone! its has a button on the Center of Left side for a “Quick App load” cool feature if you’re a hiker but not for this situation. The straps you put around the phone to secure it in place? wont work because this phone is so huge! If that center button wasnt there it wouldnt be bad.Battery life is ok. They claim 30ish hours? yeah if you don’t install any apps, I installed Messenger and facebook just to see life span. I got 5 days before the phone required a recharge. I removed both apps and it can go weeks without charging,Apps like Avenza for Maps doesn’t work because the OS is out of date. Other apps are out there like CalTopo work with this phone but it requires a lot of tweaking to make it work,.GPS works great as do most phones’ GPSIts a Google Phone made only to run TMobile . I just wanted the GPS + Rugged feature So i never set up the wireless.The phone is Huge did i mention that? without the battery and back case its not bad, But its still bigger than a Iphone 8s Plus! If feels like it could withstand some abuse but because its huge it also weighs a lot!Very heavy phone! Your pockets will pull down and make it uncomfortable to walk with. its like you would need its own carry “purse”so bottom line. if you plan on using it for motorcycle touring. I recommend getting an Iphone 7s or 8s on ebay used for the price as this one new but it will lighter and have ios 13+ which means all your apps like avenza will work.

Intrinsically Safe for cheap!
Intrinsically Safe for cheap! Rated Class 1, Div 2, groups A-D, with a T4 temp rating. This phone is perfect for Oil and Gas or Mining industries. With that being said, the phone is an older model. Only runs Android 5 1.1. It is also an unlocked GSM phone. I have total wireless which only supports CDMA phone. Awesome buy if you need an explosion proof phone and dont want to spend a fortune.

Es un equipo con una pantalla grande, cumple las expectativas de resistencia, y por el precio obtiene uno un buen producto. Eso sÃÂ, la versión de Android instalada va a pedales o de plano no funciona con apps complejas.
