Review: Kyocera Hydro Vibe for Sprint

Form Performance Basics Extras Wrap-Up Comments  2  

The Kyocera Hydro Vibe is a solid phone that cover the basics and offers a bit more. The screen is very good, battery life is excellent, and the hardware functions well. Though you can't take it deep-sea diving, it can handle some wet summer fun and the occasional, accidental bath. I wish phone calls were a bit louder.

The Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating is slightly older than what most high-end devices offer, but the customizations offered by Kyocera help close that gap. The Starter mode is a nice place for smartphone newb's to begin, but more seasoned users can take full advantage of Android and tools such as EcoMode.

I found the Vibe's camera to be surprisingly good. Media consumption options don't stray far from the norm, and Sprint's extras feel like just that: extras.

If you're in the market for an inexpensive Android device that's protected from everyday spills, the Kyocera Hydro Vibe is a worth a peek. It's more than a drop in the bucket.
