Editorial report

Kyocera DuraForce Ultra technical sheet

The Kyocera DuraForce Ultra suits anyone looking for a rugged phone with a compact display; its main trade-offs are its weight, thickness, and limited screen-to-body ratio. It resists water and dust with IP68 protection and drops from up to 1.5 m; its resistance features also include MIL-STD-810H. The 5.45″ IPS LCD display has a density of 443 ppi, among the highest of phones from its time. However, its screen-to-body ratio is 62%, among the lowest, while its 278 g weight and 16 mm thickness put it among the heaviest and thickest phones of that period.

Performance is better than that of most phones from its time. The Snapdragon 765G pairs with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage, which is expandable. The camera also stands better than most: its specifications include a 24 MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a 16 MP ultrawide camera. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. Its 4500 mAh battery capacity is typical for phones from its time, and it supports wireless charging.

The overall NeoScore is 5.0. This phone is suited to buyers who prioritize resistance, display density, and performance, and are comfortable with a heavy, thick design.
