Kyocera Hydro Review
Score: 44.3 / 100
Kyocera Hydro is a decent cellphone released back in 2012, with a medium 3.5-inches multi-touch display, a fast processor ticking at 1 gigahertz and a 3.2 mega-pixels back camera.
Kyocera made this cellphoneavailable only in color black. This device isn't very light comparing with today standards, weighting 4.23 oz.
This cellphone is equipped with a good level 480 x 320 3.5" screen, giving this phone a nice image quality. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
Kyocera sells this phone with a great performance processor clocking at 1000 MHz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8655 chip with 512 MB RAM memory. This phone counts with a 2 GB internal storage, a decent quantity that should be adequate for the average user considering this phone also has an external memory slot .
The Kyocera Hydro includes Wi-Fi connection (and it can share it with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and 3G connectivity, over EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone doesn't have a SIM card, because it doesn't work with GSM networks and it can connect to CDMA carriers.
The Kyocera Hydro is only equipped with a 3.2 MP back side camera. Additionally, the camera has flash and geo tagging.
This phone also comes with some interesting characteristics like Bluetooth (2.1, EDR) and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The Kyocera Hydro counts with a 1500 mAh medium sized Li-Ion removable battery that provides this phone a quite short battery duration comparing with other similar phones.
This cellphone is not a very good choice considering it is sold for $ 89, while other similar phones are being sold for much less than that.
