Kyocera today launched the DuraForce Pro 3, an overdue replacement for its DuraForce Pro 2 rugged, business-focused smartphone launched in 2018. The new model updates nearly all specs to modern standards, including 5G, larger display, larger battery (4,270 mAh), better cameras, better processor (Snapdragon 7 Gen 1), more memory (6 / 128 GB), Wi-Fi 6E, and more programmable shortcut buttons.
MetroPCS
This phone is for sell at MetroPCS stores as well and is priced at $169. While the specs are reasonable for the price, the phone is super glitchy and I would highly discourage anyone from purchasing it until an update is released until to fix those issues.
Don't hold your breath. Qualcomm/Kyocera phones (Kyocera owns Qualcomm's former phone business) were always cursed by bad software. Even very basic models were unstable.
