Durable but Tiny

Mercy101 . 19 days

While the design for durability is great for contractors and other laborers, it is so small in comparison to a Samsung Galaxy. It has been a very difficult transition. I can't carry it in my pocket either because it burned my leg.

WILL NOT CHARGE

chuy . 1 month

this phone charging system is with all due respect, straight garbage, it first started when i had lost the "kyocera recommended charger" during a trip, so i had a extra aftermarket charger and the phone warned me with a slow charging because I wasnt using their charger, and i was like ok sure thats fine i dont mind slow charging. not to long after maybe a day or two i notice that instead of charging it it was actually draining my battery i was at 20% after plugging it to the aftermarket charger for about 10 min it drained it to 8% fast forward to a week and the phone just completely refuses to charge at all without their specific charger, a warning come up something like "use the official kyocera charger" idk but i think thats a little aggressive from kyocera part. i absolutely do not recommend this phone.

Poor Screen Durability

3 undefined

spring . 2 months

I have had all of the Duraforce phones by Kyocera and am still using the pro 2 as well and only got the Pro 3 because Verizon stopped supporting the original Pro. This pro 3 screen scratches easily and does not have the durability of the previous Duraforce line . My other Duraforce phones after literally years of use have NO scratches in the screen this one didnt make it a month. The screen durability is why i had always used Kyocera sad to see them going cheap!

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months

Thanks for being a loyal Kyocera customer and for taking the time to leave a review!

If you do run into issues, remember that your Kyocera phone comes with Kyocera's Standard 2-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty. Please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/ for assistance. Kyocera

Unimpressed

HandyWork . 3 months

I'm a contractor. Battery started fine, after 18 months drains quickly. That's ok, part of the reason I bought it was removable battery. Except the back cover screw stripped after first time replacing the SD card. Don't like having to take the battery out to remove SD card. Second week of owning, screen scratched and the charging port cover got stuck so it won't close flush in the case, therefore probably not waterproof anymore. Also will only charge on wireless charging now. Speakers blew the first month, so anything above half volume crackles like crazy. The screen isn't great; hard to type accurately with the keyboard. Camera is mediocre. I do like being able to assign functions to the physical buttons, just wish it was more rugged. Not worth the price IMO, wish Verizon could offer support for other rugged phone manufacturers as BYOD.

Junk phone, terrible customer service

Maggs . 3 months

I have owned every Casio and kyocera phone, and this one is the absolute worst. My last kyocera lasted 5 years, this one about 5 months. Gets so hot you cannot touch it. Battery drains from 90% to 3% in as little as an hour. Sent emails directly to Kyocera, been ignored for weeks. DO NOT buy this phone. Former loyal Kyocera phone owner.

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months

We're sorry to hear that you are experiencing some issues with your phone. Excess heat and rapid battery drain are sometimes symptoms that accompany an issue with either a dirty/damaged USB charging port or a degraded/damaged battery. We would need to have more details in order to determine the best resolution. Since sending email has been ineffective for you it might be best to contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/ so that we can help you troubleshoot those issues. Kyocera

Good phone, tough rugged

Check Mark Graphic
I have had the Pro3 since it was released, been 2 years now ? Phone generally works well. However as of late it's starting to go dead quicker and quicker and over heats. I changed out the battery, seems to still be a issue. Great phone if you need something tough. I would love a newer model, upgraded camera. Not sure if I am going to buy another or not, unfortunately not to many in the industry are focusing on tough phones and it doesn't seem that koycera is putting new models out often.

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months

DuraForce PRO 3 is a solid, rugged choice boasting MIL-STD-810H testing to withstand drops and an IP68 rating for protection against dust and water intrusion. It is also HazLoc certified Non-Incendive, Class I, Div 2. You may want to consider purchasing a new replacable battery to improve the daily performance of your device. Thanks for leaving a positive 4-star review! Kyocera

Quality is terrible

Nick . 4 months

I have owned atleast 6 of these phones. If I haven't lost the phone in a river every single one goes black screen and never turns back on. The only reason I stayed with this brand was the sapphire screen and now they can't even do that right. I have had this latest phone for 2 months and the screen has already cracked. I don't know what Kyocera was thinking but you have ruined a good product. 1/10 do not recommend.

Piece Of Junk

ARA0819 . 4 months

Worst phone I've ever owned. Screen gets so hot it burns my fingertips. Battery life is the worst I've ever seen. It will restart on it's own for absolutely no reason. DON'T BUY THIS PHONE!!!

Durable and satisfactory

3 undefined

Nooch . 4 months

The phone certainly seems durable and overall performance is satisfactory. Main issue is that it overheats regularly if a case is added for extra protection from drops and falls.

Kyocera Customer Support - 4 months

DuraForce PRO 3 has an ultra-rugged and water-proof design which provides a balance of protection and overall performance. In fact, as you have noticed, adding an external case decreases the airflow and can lead to increased heat retention. Many users find that the phone works best without an external case. Kyocera

It was okay but not that easy.

Tom T . 5 months

works good, just a little harder to get the right letters and numbers pushed. also not sure why but my fingers wont operate the slide function of the screen consistently. Other than that it works very well
