I dropped the phone outside and inside and I found the phone handled itself well, meaning I could drop the phone mid-call without a problem, and I never even saw a scratch develop on that Sapphire Screen. The phone is designed to be drop proof onto concrete from 1.5 meters, just under 5 feet. The surrounding case on Kyocera DuraForce Ultra 5G UW was scratched - but not the screen. And on the left are volume buttons, along with a push to talk key which connects people quickly with contacts. Programming means you can assign a feature to these buttons so that they fast track opening that option like the camera if you'd like. You have buttons for power, along with a programmable camera key on the right, and there's another button - orange on the top - that you can program as well. I definitely had the sense this could break off, and while I understand it's there to allow the phone to stay as protected and rugged as possible, that piece alone didn't feel as strong as it could be.īuttons along the outside are slim, meaning they're fairly flush against the sides. There's also a cover for the USB power cord slot that feels a bit questionable. There's a headphone jack and also a microSD card slot. The screen is covered in Kyocera's own Sapphire Shield glass and it did handle well when we dropped it on the ground inside - and outside as well. Someone is purchasing the DuraForce Ultra 5G because they want a tough smartphone, one that can handle scrapes, drops and elements even like rain, and not just a smartphone in general.

The Kyocera is a thick device, designed to handle rough handling Lauren Barack/GearBrain Kyocera sent us a device to test and we spent some time trying the phone to see how it fared in a number of ways. Kyocera DuraForce Ultra 5G UW is a recent launch, a smartphone on the Verizon 5G network, that is designed to be handle much more than phone calls, text messages, games or play videos - all of which it can do.
