Though having a durable mobile device seems like a no brainer for those who have active and outdoorsy lifestyles, or for those who have messy jobs like field operators and construction workers, its benefits aren't limited to the niche. I was particularly worried about the plastic top lid since it houses the external display, and isn't fortified with rubber, but other than a number of visible scratches and scuffs all around, the phone survived and functioned fine afterward. I threw and kicked it down several flights of stairs, and dropped it repeatedly from a height of about 6 feet. It even registered an incoming call during its time underwater.Īs for its durability, the handset is tough. As expected, the device survived and was perfectly operational afterward. Though I didn't have a 6-foot-deep pool to test the DuraXV with, I did dunk it in a long vase for 30 minutes after making sure all its ports were properly sealed. The lid also hosts a 5-megapixel camera with flash. If you press any of the control buttons, the screen will light up and tell you the time, date, battery life, reception, missed notifications and enabled features (like GPS or Bluetooth). The plastic top lid of the DuraXV is equipped with a 1.08-inch black and white display with a 102x90-pixel resolution. Unlike some rugged Kyocera phones, which sport a 2.5mm jack for PTT headsets, this one has a 3.5mm headset jack on the right side, meaning it's compatible with your standard pair of headphones you might have at home. On the bottom left side is a Micro-USB port that's covered by a thick plastic door. ![]() Shoulder bags, backpacks, or tool belt compartments shouldn't pose a problem, however. ![]() As such, don't expect the handset to fit comfortably in your jean pockets or slip into a clutch bag too easily. It weighs 5.6 ounces, and stands 4.13 inches tall, 2.15 inches wide and 0.98 inches thick. Due to its durability (which I'll dive into more later), the DuraXV is a physically hefty device.
