Laggy and poor quality

Big shug . 1 month ago

Got this phone about a year ago now, first night I had it the phone overheated trying to transfer my information, first week into it the phone overheated constantly especially when charging, dropped it once with a heavy duty case over the case that the phone already is built into and cracked the screen with a glass screen protector on it as well. I tried returning the phone and after a 3 hour wait and talk to another person phone call I was basically told it's not happening. Now here we are a year down the road, phone is in same condition but battery life is terrible, overheats even more, super slow and laggy, camera quality is terrible.... Just wish I went with a different phone completely... My old OnePlus phone is way better still to this day if I turn it on. Save your money and don't buy this.

Not as good as previous models

Ryan . 1 month ago

I've had several in the Duraforce line, my UW Duraforce 5g was great until the battery had to be charged several times per day and couldn't find a replacement battery, even tried buying a new phone, but Verizon doesn't have them in stock anymore even though they are listed on here as an option. Finally had to give in and get this new model, feels no where near as heavy duty, disappointed they got rid of the Sapphire shield screen. I would return this in a heartbeat to go with my old phone and a new battery. Every new phone has felt like an upgrade until this one. Every part of it feels cheaper, back cover had to be snapped in and still doesn't feel solid. This one, oddly doesn't seem to function as well and the screen display isn't as good, even after messing with settings extensively, (I still find I prefer to use the old one on WiFi when I'm at home) Very disappointed but I do have a couple weeks left on the return policy, may be time to try a different brand... If I keep it, and things inprove, I will update my review.

Kyocera Customer Support - 26 days ago

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. Kyocera
