Not long ago, Kyocera surprised us with a new type of screen for mobile devices that had the same hardness as sapphires but polluted less and was cheaper than its competitors. Well, following this line of creating hard devices, Kyocera has announced that it will launch a new Android smartphone called Hidro Life and to promote it a word has been invented «fragiphoniphobia« that although it sounds like a cultured word or of classical Greek origin, it is an invented word that comes together to bring together the concept they want «fight«: The fear of fragile phones.
Hidro Life certainly faces this fear since it will be one of the most resistant smartphones on the market, not only because of its screen but also because of its manufacturing. In addition to being water resistant, Hidro Life will be resistant to shocks, scratches, dust and even battery wear, as it will have a 2.000 mAh battery, more than enough for a smartphone with a 4.5" screen.
At the moment the processor that it will have as well as the ram memory or the graphics processor is unknown, but it is known that it will have a Wi-Fi connection and 4G connectivity. It also complies with the military standard 810G, something that certifies its hardness and can last up to 30 minutes underwater under one meter of depth.
Kyocera Hidro Life goes on sale August 8
Hidro Life will go on the market at the end of this week and will be sold in large commercial areas in the United States at a price of $ 125, a fairly low price if we compare it with other devices that raise the flag of resistance and then include it in the price. Although Hidro Life is not Kyocera's only resistant smartphone, it is possibly the most resistant to date and the one that can give the company the best economic results. Many users prefer features such as durability, water resistance or a long-lasting battery over an impressive design, as happened with the Sony Xperia Z1, a water-resistant device that has filled ( even more) Sony's coffers. We will see what happens in the coming weeks, but it seems that Kyocera will give a lot to talk about.Do not you think?
