Announcement. Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+ - rugged push-button clamshell with LTE support

Protected push-button phone Kyocera DuraXVExtreme was announced two and a half years ago. And now it is being replaced by the Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+. Like its ancestor, the newcomer is intended for the foreign operator Verizon, so there is no need to wait for it in our latitudes.

As far as I can see, the difference between the devicesabout one. Changed the chipset. There was Qualcomm Snapdragon 215 (about fifty thousand points in AnTuTu), became MediaTek Helio A22 (about one hundred thousand points).

Yes, the hardware is quite “smartphone”, although the device is not a smartphone. (As software - something self-written based on AOSP).

Protection. From water and dust according to IP68 class.“Militaristic” protection has been upgraded from MIL-STD-810G to MIL-STD-810H. It is mentioned that the device passed tests for drops, vibration, salty fog, solar radiation, temperatures ...

Memory. 2 GB operational and 16 GB permanent. Plus, you can expand with a memory card.

There are two screens. The main internal diagonal is 2.6″ (21 cm²) and the resolution is 240×320 (154 ppi). And a tiny external monochrome OLED - a little over an inch (4 cm²) in diagonal.

The battery is quite serious - 1770 mAh. There is a loud speaker - 100 dB.

And the Kyocera DuraXV Extreme + can work as a hotspot, since there is support for both LTE and Wi-Fi.

And he also has a camera. Let it be only 5 megapixels, but with autofocus.

Like its predecessor, the Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+ will cost $240 at launch.
