I have owned four Duraforce phones... This one is the worst damn phone I have ever had I Fing hate it.... The key board sucks.. you can try and type a message... Hit the right key and the letter next to it pops up so that typing this I had to make a lot of changes... Spell check does not work consistently... Volume controls suck.. alarm settings some time work... Sometime do not.. the camera sucks... I cannot place a comma in a message until the fourth or fifth attempt.... I could go on but DO NOT buy this phone.... The model previous to this piece of shit was a great phone... Who ever designed this ... Fire tyem

Purchased this phone due to its rugged build. Phone is a bit slow. Camera is poor. But that's ok. I wanted this phone because it has a beefy battery and is water proof... Had my phone down at the river the other day. Knew I would probably be falling in at some point. Cleaned all the seals and sealing surfaces to make sure that water wouldn't get past the headphone/USB/expansion card hatches. Sure enough I fell in. Phone immediately filled with water and stopped working. Phone is supposed to be rated to 1.8m for 30min. Not even close. My warranty has expired too :D Buyer beware.

In my personal experience it is worth paid. It has a beautiful battery life of at least 1.5 to 2 days on my regular usage. The water proof and the shock proof features are really awesome. I tried taking the water video it was good. But the touch screen was not working under water, rest all fine. Accidentally I dropped my phone from my running bike, even after that incident it survived but some small scratches at the sides. In fact I tested both water proof and shock proof, both went good.
Issues:
This phone gets super hot when you use navigation. Better do not touch the during navigation, otherwise you may burn your fingers. The software was good and it never got hangup.
The smart lock was not working good. Both Face and Voice locks are absolute scrap.
People from INDIA
Kindly make sure this phone 4G will not work for IDEA and Vodafone services. It does good with Airtel, hopefully may work with Jio.
Whatever I mentioned are on my personal experience with this phone for more than a year.

I bought one of the Kyocera DuraForce phone last year. It was supposedly a brand new phone... yeah right. I've dropped this phone into dishwater, the duck pond and got soaked when I was caught out in the rain with it in my pocket. Nothing happened to the phone. I've even put the phone in the bath playing music and listened to it play while it was submerged.
This phone IS supposed to be to take that kind of abuse. And it did... for awhile.
Lately, my DuraFarce has begun to reset its own controls: muting the mic, turning off the loudspeaker, deleting: apps, photos, alarms, contacts and music. Now, the battery, which is supposedly only now a year old is nolonger holding a charge for more than a couple of hours a day. Esthetics for premium phones have spread to the rest of the market and now there are no more phones with replaceable batteries. I think that is a BIG mistake. Planned obsolescence is the way to screw the consuming public and make big money after all. The environment be damned.
Now, I'm being forced by need to buy another phone to replace my Kyopetate DuraFarce not so waterproof phone.

Worst phone I've ever owned.
The initial tech reviews rated it highly (as you might expect in any new car review) but reviews by end users tell the real story. If only 44% rate it 5 stars, and 26% rate it 1 star, you have an abysmal phone.
I've had mine about 18 months. The camera seems to have deteriorated badly in image stabilization and poor light conditions. The phone has sloooooowed in every aspect, without loaded storage. And worst of all it freezes with irritating regularity.
It does seem to have good battery life, and seems physically tough enough and waterproof.
It was the only phone that fit my top pocket at the time, so I guess my phone habits will have to change when I dump this one in about 6 months.

I have had this phone for almost 2 years. I am physically very hard on phones and seem to average a new phone every 6 months. This is hands down the toughest phone I have ever had. I initially planned on buying the sonnim XP7 but was recommended not to as operationally it is behind and the screen resolution is poor in comparison to the Duraforce. Both ended up being very true.
The battery is superior to the large majority of phones lasting me up to nearly 4 days. On average I can get 1.5 to 2 days on a charge. The waterproof feature is no joke. Once I dropped it in the hottub overnight. The phone worked as soon as I pulled it out of the water several hours later. I also left it by accident outside in an ATV storage container over night where it rained then froze over night. I broke the ice off of it and worked fine. It has survived flawlessly many falls that would assumingly destroy most other phones. The speakers are noticeably louder than other phones, screen resolution and brightness is good.
The bad, sometimes can freeze up for 30 seconds. Always fixed by restart. The 3 button feature on side that you can program is really only one button. So if you think it will be a play/change song button, it isn't. The "selfie" camera is terrible if not used in excellent lighting and the forward camera is not very good. Does not seem to want to focus better than half the time. When it does it takes not bad pictures.
I would recommend the phone for people that are not worried about having the newest and greatest phone but want or need tough.
