The waterproof and dust-tight
Kyocera Hydro Shore initially sold for $80
, but if you get to know the rest of its pros and cons, its relatively budget-friendly price point makes a whole lot of sense.
Like many low-class Androids, the LTE-ready Shore settles for 5- and 2-megapixel cameras only
, with a 1GB-only RAM
accompanying its equally-basic 1.1GHz Snapdragon MSM8909 quad-core CPU
. Additionally, considering that the average power cap was roughly 2300mAh when it came out, its 2160mAh battery capacity
sounds underwhelming in comparison, though it does support Kyocera's trademark Eco Mode and MaxiMZR power-saving functions
. Lastly, it touts an unimpressive 5-inch qHD (960 x 540) screen
finished with a flexible acrylic lens, which consequently enables Wet Touchscreen Operation
-- another signature Kyocera perk.
In conclusion, while the Hydro Shore is armed with some specs that shore up its outdoorsy profile, this low-ranking 5-incher seems essentially poised to hit on shoppers who want waterproof ruggedness, but do not necessarily need extreme specs.
