At Kyocera, we don't just build phones. We build devices that empower people to do more. It's why we're the global leader in waterproof and rugged smartphones and proud to introduce DuraForce as the newest member of the family.
Stay in touch with the click of a button with Telus Link® Push-to-talk walkie-talkie style communication. Its rugged design is optimized to improve the Push-to-talk experience with a large, tactile side button, an extra-loud speaker and external Push-to-talk remote speaker microphone and headset support. So staying connected and productive throughout your day is simple and easy.
Water and rain don't slow you down. They shouldn't stop your smartphone, either. DuraForce is waterproof*, not just water-resistant.
The Kyocera DuraForce is a go-anywhere, do-anything 4G LTE Android smartphone that's certified Military Standard 810G durable, IP68 dustproof and waterproof, and comes with a standard 2 year warranty.
DuraForce has a high tolerance for pain with its Military Standard 810G rating. Whether you're at boot camp or camping with your crew, DuraForce is built to withstand rugged environments. Dust, shock, extreme temperatures, and blowing rain won't faze it – so accidents won't ruin your day.
The DuraForce touchscreen works whether you're facing a snowy day on the slopes or a rainy day in the city. Glove and Wet Touchscreen Operation* lets you talk, text or open an app – even while wearing gloves or when the screen is wet. The feature is always activated, so there's no special setting to turn on. Plus dedicated hard keys for navigation and speakerphone offer quick access with gloved hands or large fingers. So go ahead, play in the rain and snap a pic – even while you're wearing gloves.
It sounds obvious, but not all phones deliver call clarity. No matter where you are with DuraForce – a busy restaurant or loud concert – you'll hear your phone conversations better. That's because it's equipped with loud, dual front speakers and Smart Sonic Receiver technology. Smart Sonic Receiver means you'll be able to hear where you never could before. The entire touchscreen acts as a speaker. When it's pressed against your ear, sound transmits as vibrations that go directly from your screen into your eardrum – bypassing background noise and enabling call clarity.
