Boost Mobile Kyocera Hydro Review

The Kyocera Hydro is a well-built smart phone that is splash proof and water proof. Available from both Cricket Wireless and Boost Mobile, the phone is available without a contract. All accessories are available at www.discountcell.com.

The Kyocera Hydro is aptly named, as it can handle being submerged in up to a meter of water for a half hour or sprayed with water and will still function perfectly. Meeting IPX-5 and IPX-7 standards, this smart phone is perfect for any situation between the job site and living with toddlers. The Hydro measures 4.53 by 2.44 by 0.5 inches and is comfortable to slip into a pocket. The display is 3.5 inches with 320x480 pixel resolution. It's a good screen that works for the average consumer - colors are fairly vivid and details are sharp. The display is very responsive, so web browsing, playing games and using apps are all smooth. Inside the Hydro is a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8655 single core 1GHz processor and Adreno 205 enhanced graphics processor, as well as 512MB of RAM. Again, this is a mid-range phone and this is plenty of processing power for the average consumer. Android 4.0 ICS is running inside the Hydro. The 3.2 megapixel camera takes decent pictures indoors and great pictures outdoors.

A car mount is a necessity if you plan on using the Kyocera Hydro while driving. In many states, it's required by law to have a handsfree device in your car. The Kyocera Hydro Naztech Windshield Mount easily attaches to the interior of the windshield just above the dashboard. The flexible gooseneck pedestal enables the user to position their GPS or Kyocera Hydro Mobile phone device at just the right distance and angle for convenient Kyocera Hydro viewing and operation. Quickly detach and secure the mount when transferring any unit from one vehicle to another.

It's also important to keep the Kyocera Hydro charged and there are plenty of chargers available. The ultra-portable Kyocera Hydro Naztech 3-in-1 Charger gives the freedom to go farther and stay connected. The high performance Naztech N300 Kyocera Hydro mobile phone rapid charger combines an AC adapter for wall outlets, a DC adapter for car adapters and a USB cable for charging through PC's. No matter where the user is, they'll have the ability to power up the Kyocera Hydro electronic device while simultaneously charging the battery; keeping the music playing and the communication lines always open.
