Sprint and Boost Mobile announced that the waterproof Kyocera Hydro Edge would be offered later in the summer of 2013. Pricing and exact timing were not announced at the time.
Key specifications for the Kyocera Hydro EDGE include Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, a 4-inch IPS impact-resistant display, 1GHz dual-core processor, and 5-megapixel rear camera. With an IP57 rating, the handset can withstand dust and water immersion (up to 30 minutes in 1 meter of water).
The Hydro Edge also features Kyocera’s Smart Sonic Receiver technology, which uses vibrations to transmit sound directly to the eardrum, allowing clear audio even in noisy environments without a traditional speaker — a design that also aids the device’s waterproofing.
