Kyocera Duraforce Pro announced in US, features HD Action camera & More!

Japanese multinational company Kyocera has unveiled its latest DuraForce Pro smartphone in the US. The Kyocera DuraForce Pro boasts of not only a rugged build which is resistant to drops, shocks, dust and water, but also of a super HD camera that could take on the Go Pro.

The DuraForce Pro features a 5-inch Full HD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. There is equally a 13MP camera at the rear that can take underwater photos. This makes the phone IP68 certified meaning it can stay in water for up to 30minutes and 2 meters of depth. The phone also features Military Standard 810G for “protection against dust, shock, vibration, temperature extremes, blowing rain, low pressure, solar radiation, salt fog, humidity, immersion, temperature shock and icing/freezing rain”.

The Kyocera DuraForce Pro comes with Super Wide View Full HD (1080p) Action Camera with 135 degree lens and boots Android 6.0 Marshmallow from the go.

In addition, the smartphone features a fingerprint sensor which is embedded inside the Home screen button and enhances security. The device is powered by a 1.5GHz Octa-core Snapdragon 617 chipset with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage which is expandable up to a whooping 256GB via microSD slot.

The rugged smartphone is powered by a generous 3,240mAh battery which supports wireless charging and comes with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 for faster charge time. The 100+ dB dual front speakers ensure you hear everything even in noisy environments.

Not only that, the DuraForce Pro’s touchscreen display supports operation with handgloves on and wet hands, which makes it easy to use and despite the durability the device comes with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi with 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/r/k, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Mobile Hot Spot (for up to ten devices), Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, Miracast and USB 2.0.

The rugged Kyocera DuraForce Pro will be available for purchase in the US any moment from now but no word yet on the price tag the device will clutch.
