We're glad to hear you're enjoying DuraForce PRO 3, and we appreciate you leaving a positive review. Regarding battery life, here are a few quick tips that can help extend it:Use Dark Mode – OLED screens use less power when displaying darker colors.
Check Background Apps – Check which apps are running in the background and close those you don’t need.
Battery Saver Mode – You can find this in Settings > Battery > Battery Saver.
Many customers take advantage of DuraForce PRO 3's removable battery functionality for extra power. Spare batteries can be purchased online via Kyocera's Solutions Store.
Very durable

Laggy and poor quality

Hi Ryan, thank you for your feedback and for being a longtime Kyocera customer. The DuraForce PRO 3 camera can certainly take better photos than the DuraForce Ultra under most conditions. Please contact our support team to describe your camera use case and we may recommend that you change some camera settings. The OLED display on DuraForce PRO 3 certainly displays more vibrant colors and deeper blacks than the screen on DuraForce Ultra. It is also easier to see under brighter light, since the display is brighter and the glass over it has better optical properties. Perhaps your newer phone is set to a color theme that you don't like as well. The performance of the two devices are similar with the DuraForce PRO 3 having a slight edge. If you are seeing performance issues in particular use cases, please contact us and we will try to help you troubleshoot the problem. We do not base our comparison of these two models solely on the specs. We have also tested both devices and used them ourselves for many months Please feel free to contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478 or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/ for further assistance.
Not as good as previous models

Hi Ryan, thank you for being a loyal Kyocera customer and for providing your feedback. DuraForce PRO 3 is lighter than DuraForce Ultra and the back cover is thinner. Based on customer feedback, our mechanical engineers designed DuraForce PRO 3 to be smaller, lighter, and with a removable battery while still meeting the same drop and waterproof tests. It is easier to hold and carry. Since it is lighter than DuraForce Ultra, it lands with less force, so it withstands drops better. We also designed it with a removable battery, so it can be changed between shifts or people can carry a spare. And, the battery can be easily replaced when it gets old. In order for DuraForce PRO 3 to pass the drop and hazardous location testing, the battery was designed with a strengthened housing and it is held in place with a sliding lock mechanism. The back cover must be installed correctly, by first placing the plastic tabs on the top edge into position under the edge of the case and then pushing down along the sides and bottom to snap all the other tabs into place. Finally, the back cover is secured with a locking screw. Note that portions of the battery cover may come slightly loose during a drop and should be snapped back into place in order to restore waterproofness. The fact that the back cover yields slightly under pressure does not diminish the phone’s ability to withstand drops. The raised, reinforced edges and corners take the brunt of impacts and a cover that flexes is less likely to dent or crack. We are confident that this design will satisfy the vast majority of users who need an ultra-rugged smartphone. Regarding the quality of the display, the DuraForce PRO 3 OLED display is actually higher quality than the one on DuraForce Ultra and the glass has better optical properties than sapphire does. As a point of reference, ZDNet tested and ranked DuraForce PRO 3 as having the ""best display in a rugged phone."" We hope that you come to like DuraForce PRO 3. Feel free to contact us on Facebook (@Kyocera Mobile) or our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478 or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/. In spite of all this, if you decide that you want to keep the DuraForce Ultra instead, our customer support team can give you a quote for replacing the battery.
Nice phone
