The Kyocera Hydro is just a bit better than the Motorola XT5, having a general score of 44.3 against 40.3. These devices come with Android OS (operating system), but Kyocera Hydro has a more recent 4.0 version while Motorola XT5 has Android 2.1 version, providing you some nice extra features. The Kyocera Hydro construction has the same thickness than the Motorola XT5, but it's somewhat lighter.

Kyocera Hydro features a much faster processing unit than Motorola XT5, because it has a higher number of cores (and they are faster). Motorola XT5 has a bit more vivid screen than Kyocera Hydro, because although it has a bit smaller screen, and they both have an equal 480 x 320 pixels resolution, the Motorola XT5 also counts with a little more pixels per display inch.

The Motorola XT5 captures just a bit better photographs and videos than Kyocera Hydro, because it has a much higher 5 mega-pixels resolution camera in the back. Kyocera Hydro features a lot bigger memory to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Motorola XT5, although it has no external memory card slot.

The Kyocera Hydro features improved battery lifetime than Motorola XT5, because it has 1500mAh of battery capacity against 1270mAh.

Despite of being the best phone of the ones we compare here, the Kyocera Hydro is also very cheap compared to the other ones, making this phone an obvious call.
