Kyocera DuraForce Ultra 5G UW Smartphone

Device leverages Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G mobile platform, military standard 810H toughness, ultra-fast 5G speeds, Augmented Reality and new durable lithium polymer battery to transform enterprise
mobile experience.

Kyocera launched its first 5G ultra-rugged Android smartphone today, DuraForce Ultra 5G UW, which delivers ultra-durability, ultra-fast speeds and ultra-low latency on the Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband (UW) network. DuraForce Ultra 5G builds on Kyocera’s 10+ years of rugged device expertise to create the most advanced ultra-rugged smartphone to date for public safety, enterprise, small business, and consumers.

The first rugged device on the Verizon 5G UW Network1, DuraForce Ultra 5G leverages the best-in-class Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 765G mobile platform which unites 5G and AI to power select premium experiences. The Snapdragon X52 5G Modem-RF System and 5th gen Qualcomm® Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engine work in tandem to power blazing performance and uninterrupted gameplay.

Kyocera’s virtually scratchproof Sapphire ShieldTM protects both the 5.45-inch FHD+ bright display and high-resolution cameras on the back. DuraForce Ultra 5G is Kyocera’s toughest, most durable smartphone to date, certified military standard 810H (MIL-STD- 810H) to withstand drops of up to 5 feet directly onto concrete, water immersion (IPX5/IPX8*), dust (IP6X*), extreme temperatures, salt, fog, solar, shock, hazardous work environments and more. HazLoc certified, the device is protected Non-incendive Class I, Division 2 classified hazardous locations.

This is Kyocera’s first device to feature a rugged lithium polymer battery, which was designed specifically to survive the drops and shocks of an ultra-durable device. And because it’s waterproof, after a tough day at work, it can be washed off and disinfected to start over fresh the next day.

Three cameras open a new world of possibilities
DuraForce Ultra 5G ratchets up the toughness and speed with 5G connectivity and the Snapdragon 765G chipset, which unites 5G and Augmented Reality (AR) to power breakthrough speeds for media, entertainment, intelligent multi-camera capabilities and extended battery life. The ultra-bright display with Advanced Outdoor Viewing and three cameras – 24MP main camera with dual LED flash, 16MP wide angle (117) plus 8MP front- facing – open a world of visual possibilities with a plethora of new camera features including:

• Time of Flight – for fast auto-focus
• 4-Cell Pixel Binning – four cells combine into one Super Cell to enhance images in dynamic lighting
• conditions (portrait mode only)
• Super Night Vision – using multi-frame technology, scenes are detected in grids; noise, brightness and sharpness are improved frame by frame
• Underwater Camera Mode – captures clear video and images when fully immersed in water
• Action Overlay (patented) – provides outdoor enthusiasts the ability to add elapsed time, distance, speed, G-force, altitude, date/time and map of route traveled to photos and videos; data is captured and saved without interruption.
