Kyocera DuraForce Overview

Kyocera DuraForce is a line of rugged smartphones designed for users who need a reliable device that can withstand tough conditions. There are two main models currently available: the DuraForce PRO 3 and the DuraForce Ultra 5G. Both phones are built to meet MIL-STD-810H standards, meaning they can survive drops of up to 5 feet on concrete and are resistant to dust, water, and extreme temperatures.

The DuraForce PRO 3 is the more traditional of the two models. It has a 4.5-inch display, a Snapdragon 400 processor, and 2GB of RAM. It also has a removable battery, which is a rarity in today’s smartphones. The DuraForce Ultra 5G is a more modern phone with a larger 5.45-inch display, a faster Snapdragon 765G processor, and 6GB of RAM. It also supports 5G connectivity for super-fast data speeds.

Both Kyocera DuraForce models are built for productivity and functionality. They have physical buttons that can be programmed for quick access to important apps, and loud speakers with noise cancellation for clear communication in any environment. They also come with a standard 2-year warranty, giving you peace of mind knowing your phone is protected.
