Kyocera DuraForce XD Review

Score: 57.6 / 100

Kyocera DuraForce XD is a pretty good device launched in January 2016, packing an enormous 5.7-inches screen, an extremely powerful Quad-Core processing unit running at 1600 MHz, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera.

The Kyocera DuraForce XD is only available in black color. The Kyocera DuraForce XD is quite thick compared to current devices, with a thickness of 0.55". This phone is only 6.57" long, but it manages to hold a 5.7 inches display. Kyocera forgot about weight optimization in this 10.08 ounces cellphone, far heavier than other similar cellphones.

Kyocera decided to build the Kyocera DuraForce XD using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 8928 system chip, which holds an extremely powerful 1600 MHz Quad-Core processor with a large 2 GB RAM memory. The Kyocera DuraForce XD counts with a 16 GB quite big internal storage memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to store hundreds of applications without running out of space.

This phone includes a nice 5.7 inches display with a 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution, making everything look colorful and brightful.

This cellphone features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. This device also films Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 frames per second. This cellphone also has time lapse video.

The Kyocera DuraForce XD has a 3700 mAh amazing Li - Ion replaceable battery providing this phone an incredibly long battery life.

This device has WiFi connectivity (which can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance internet connection and fast 3G internet connection, over HSPA technologies. This cellphone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM services.

This cellphone also features a few interesting features as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your phone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone is really overpriced considering it costs $ 199, and many similar devices cost much less than that. No matter if you will use it as a social device, will use it as a work device or need a cellphone for gaming, this phone is the correct choice .
