RB in TX . 11 months ago

This is not a good replacement for the previous rugged phone I had I don't think it will survive being dropped or being in my pocket on a 100 degree day getting soaked in sweat I don't think it should be listed as rugged

Update killed this phone

cpw98 . 1 year ago

I have had this phone for a little over a year, it was never a great phone just ok. In March a software update was released and since then it randomly switches apps, the keyboard disappears while typing, it gives random notifications with nothing there. I contacted Kyocera and they acknowledged a problem with the update and sent a replacement phone. However the replacement does not support an app that I need to monitor a medical device. The only positive thing about this phone is that it is durable, but so is a block of wood. Given the choice I'd take the block of wood. Save yourself time and aggravation and buy something else.

Kyocera Customer Support - 1 year ago

We're sorry to hear that you are having trouble running that app on your phone. If the app was running on your previous DuraSport, then it should also run on your new one. Please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contact-us/support/, to tell us the name of the app and describe the behavior of the phone and we will assist you. Kyocera

A good by for a simple Android.

The Pro from Dover . 1 year ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

So far, so good. Has long battery life, which is important. Easy to use too.

Kyocera Customer Support - 1 year ago

Thanks for highlighting DuraSport 5G's battery life. We appreciate your positive review. Kyocera

Junk

disappointed phone user . 1 year ago

I am never one to leave reviews but this is absolutely the worst phone I have EVER had. Seriously total pile junk. The UI is buggy and slow as all get out. The camera app just decideds when it will and won't work depending on the alignment of the planets. Not to mention the camera app takes FOREVER to open and it crashes other apps, Strava in particular. The glass over the camera broke within a month. Fell out of my pocket from sitting in a chair... The worst of all you cant make a call 75% of the time. You have to put it in airplane mode first then sometimes it will call, most times it takes another airplane mode cycle. The wifi connection is atrocious. It literally sits and connects and disconnects continuously. I normally buy sub $400 phones but went out on a limb in hopes of something more durable... What a mistake I made. Will never own another Kyocera. And will never buy another phone directly from Verizon again.

Kyocera Customer Support - 1 year ago

We're sorry to hear about the problems you have been observing with your phone. We continue to release software updates for DuraSport 5G to address bugs and make enhancements. Watch for future software updates to make improvements in a number of areas including UI responsiveness, camera app, and loss of network connectivity. Depending on the damage to the camera window, it may be covered under Kyocera’s Standard 2-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty. We would need to examine it to make that determination. You may contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/, to learn more about the warranty. Kyocera
