Waterproof Kyocera Hydro launches August 3rd on Boost Mobile
Boost Mobile announced today that it will be the first US retailer to offer the low-end, waterproof Kyocera Hydro. The Hydro has a 3.5-inch display, runs Android 4.0 on a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and sports a 3.2-megapixel camera. While none of these specs particularly stand out, the phone's shining feature is its IPX5 and IPX7 waterproof rating. These ratings mean that the Hydro can withstand sprayed water and being submerged in one meter (just over three feet) of water for up to thirty minutes provided the charging port is closed. The phone is primarily aimed at those who may not yet have a smartphone or anyone who wants some peace of mind while spending their summer by the pool. The Kyocera Hydro will be available on August 3rd for $129.99 from Boost Mobile (no contract required) and will be available from "select national retail locations" later in the month.
