The Rugged Smartphone for First Responders Kyocera DuraForce Ultra 5G Hands-On Review

[@Schrsmnymkr]

I wish Samsung would go back to making rugged versions of their flagship phones. I think that would be reason enough to charge $1000 for a phone vs paying that much for a glass back device!

[@GregglesTV]

Well if apple is going to make a rugged Apple watch you can almost guarantee they're probably also going to make a rugged iPhone and if they do that Samsung's probably going to make a rugged phone again

[@knightbrian92]

They recently came out with the Samsung Galaxy Xcover pro last year but I don't think it sold very well.

[@tjk5992]

Samsung's active phones were not even comparable to the kyocera rugged phones. I broke a active phone. Stuck with Kyocera even since. Haven't broken 1 yet. Also the alot of them are made in Japan so they are great quality. Samsung/apple has alot made in china.

[@knightbrian92]

@@tjk5992 I must admit I am intrigued by this Kyocera being a Verizon customer but I don't think the specs justify the over $1000 Verizon wants for it.

I'm currently using a Kyocera Duraforce 2. It gets paid off in November and I will probably switch to this one. I like rugged phones. I don't have to worry about fixing/replacing them.

[@Bonesph]

I have a one and two and thinking about a three.

[@joshuapk9808]

I've been getting these phones since they were Casio G'Zone branded. A lot of the reviews suggest that this is just an incremental improvement over the Duraforce 2 and it's not worth paying twice as much. I've had this phone for a couple of months now and I'm happy I upgraded. The cameras on this phone are better than on the Duraforce 2. It's still not "iPhone quality" but they are better.

[@davdooo-k9w]

Good call

[@a.toddmoore7262]

Super happy with my Duraforce 2. I spend a lot of time camping and backpacking and the Durafoce 2 has survived heavy rainfall, freezing temps, numerous drops etc. with no issues. I'm looking forward to the Ultra 5G!

[@trublue2319]

My dual force has took a beating and still going

[@dreamcoyote]

With the weight, people should remember when comparing this to other phones that the Duraforces don't need a case. When you add an otterbox or other case to other phones, the weight is often pretty close. Our Duraforce and Duraforce 2 phone have been beaten pretty hard and survived. My kid had hers crushed by a sliding stall door slammed by a draft horse and, while it did need to be replaced (frame edges bent along the side), she called me on that phone to tell me what had happened. I love the thumb fingerprint reader. Super easy and convenient to lock and unlock. Downsides with the older Duraforce 1 & 2 is that, since they are wrapped up tight and have lots of plastic around the saphire shield, they tend to overheat. Eg if you are in the car using google maps or waze and also playing podcasts or mp3's, it will tend to overheat and shut down the screen :/ Hopefully they've done more testing on use cases like that and reigned in the beast for this version.

[@randr10]

I've had similar experiences with those two phones. Virtually indestructible, and even when they do break, they keep mostly working. The camera lens got scratched up on the first one and I broke the glass on the second one, but both otherwise still work fine today. I pretty much use my Pro as an MP3 player now. The Pro overheated sometimes on me, but never the Pro 2. I mount it low in the center console in the car, so it rarely gets any direct sunlight down there and stays cool no matter what I throw at it.

[@aadityashrivastava7541]

Hey, I want to use it in India, so was wondering if it could be unlocked to make it gsm compatible after buying?

[@coreyf0307]

Just picked one up. I don't care what people say iv had the 1 and 2 and have taken both unprotected straped to my pfd down the river countless times it always works and is nice to have a phone I have no fear of tossing on the ground. The only improvement kyocera needs is to make it float. I have atheist 3 on the bottom of the river and they pinged right up until the battery goes dead like 3 days later. Also bright color options would be nice.

[@randr10]

I have the DuraForce Pro 2 and I had the Pro before it. Love both of them, mostly because they're reliable. Even though I scratched the hell out of the camera on the Pro, it still works fine today in spite of the fact that it got run over by my tractor. They changed the lens to the sapphire glass on the Pro 2, which makes the phone almost me-proof (I do a lot of DIY projects, work on my own cars and heavy equipment, etc.). I say almost because I got frustrated with the phone one day when it wouldn't come out of portrait mode and I smacked the back of it hard on my knee. The glass cracked when I did that from how much the case deflected when it hit my knee (phone is almost 3 years old now, so I'm not complaining at all, screen is otherwise pristine with no scratches), so I've been wanting to get a new one, but I've been holding out until Kyocera released a new rugged smartphone before doing so. One question, does this one still have the sapphire glass for the camera lens? That's a must-have feature if I'm going to be spending $900 on a phone.

[@Xavier-bg4dp]

I remember their Kyocera Brigadier, which was their first rugged smartphone with a sapphire crystal display. Looking forward to a objective review of this phone and see if paying $900 for a rugged smartphone is worth it! Hopefully, the software is still more streamlined than the few bloatware it comes with, especially compared to Samsung. Some of the display features and the multiple button assignments look really useful on this phone too.

[@GT-43]

It is by no means worth the 900$, it is the worst phone I've ever had, two tin cans connected by a string is better than this thing.

It's a tough phone on the exterior I'll give it that, but mine must have been a complete dud. I don't share in others opinions that this is a great phone. It should be priced around 400$, not 900$. I went to a Samsung note 20 ultra and it was like going from a 1978 Ford pinto to a Bugatti.

[@danielbrothers8277]

Remember? I am just now being forced to "upgrade" from my Kyocera Brigadier, because Verizon will no longer support the older network (3G, CDMA) that it uses at the end of this year. It is rather beat up, and the battery is starting to go and will only last a few days now when it is on battery saver, but I was willing to work with that. I try to change my phones less often than I do presidents. Before that it was a Casio Commando (which I still miss), which was ruggedized AND had a user replaceable battery. I think a failed firmware/OS update killed it.

[@taunusv4power]

I've been using my duraforce pro 2 for two years and I'm extremely disappointed with the quality. The fingerprint reader failed after a year and just a month after it decided to turn on and off on its own, after factory resetting it it all went back to normal and around a month ago the battery decided it was time to go and now it lasts like half a day on heavy use. Very sad and now the new one costs double than the one i have. Not nice

[@joshuapk9808]

I'm curious- did you run the battery down from 100% to 30% or less every day, then recharge? Li-Ion batteries are only rated for 300-500 full charge cycles. If you ran it down every day then I would expect the battery to have diminished capacity. I generally keep my phones on the charger all the time. My original Duraforce Pro (which I got back in 2017) still has 85% battery health, and my Pro 2 (which I got in 2019) still has 95% battery health.

For my purposes, it does all the necessary tasks as well as any other phone that I know of. There may be other features important to you, at which this phone falls short.

I've been using Kyocera phones for almost ten years, and am the only person I know who's never, ever had a repair issue. And that's despite some pretty heavy-handed treatment, such as the phone falling off my rear bumper at highway speed.

Just my opinion.. Apple also doesn't make rugged phones. The new Kyocera shown in this video would be better suited due to a kind of a job I have, also for outdoor activities.

@@dancarlton7973 I think you should just get an Otterbox case cause the last time I had a Kyocera was 2014 and they were horrible back then and I honestly thought they went out of business till now. They are good for their ruggedness. Although if you ask me that is the ONLY thing they are good for. You could also maybe get one of those old durable Samsung phones. They are a couple years old but I think it'd still be a better choice

Military grade phone

[@williamcorrigan5697]

Not worth it for $900.

[@buddhistelder4731]

Waste of money, no flagship.

[@tjk5992]

Maybe not a flagship. Still a pretty good phone. In the rugged line including other brands it is a flagship.
