T-Mobile starts selling the rugged Kyocera DuraForce PRO
Just like the Kyocera DuraForce PRO sold by other major US carriers, T-Mobile's variant is dust- and water-resistant (IP68-certified), and can survive under water for up to 30 minutes at depths of up to 6.5 feet (2 meters). The smartphone also meets Military Standard 810G for protection against shock, temperature extremes, humidity, salt fog, blowing rain, solar radiation, low pressure, temperature shock, and icing/freezing rain. The device can easily survive drops from up to 5 feet (1.5 meters).
We first heard about T-Mobile's plans to release the Kyocera DuraForce PRO almost a year ago. It's not clear why the carrier is only now launching the handset. Nevertheless, at the moment, the DuraForce PRO is T-Mobile's only smartphone that offers this level of ruggedness, so we're guessing that some customers will appreciate its existence anyway.
If you're interested in buying T-Mobile's Kyocera DuraForce PRO, you can find it in stores nationwide, as well as online via the first source link below.
