The Kyocera Hydro Elite is a solid midrange Android smartphone for Verizon that combines a sharp display and a waterproof build, but falters when it comes to call quality.
Expert review by : Lynn La (cnet.com)
With every new waterproof Hydro device, Kyocera adds incremental, but necessary improvements. But with the $49.99 on-contract Hydro Elite from Verizon, I'm glad to see Kyocera made even bigger strikes.
The inexpensive Kyocera Hydro Elite is a compact, waterproof handset with wireless charging, a decent camera, and expandable memory.

Kyocera's Elite will quench Verizon users' thirst for a stylish and reasonably priced water-resistant phone -- just don't expect it to be a powerful speed demon.

Kyocera's Hydro Elite is the first device it's sold with Verizon in years. It's a water-resistant Android smartphone that's wrapped in a small, capable package. Here are our thoughts.
Expert review by : Andrew Martonik (androidcentral.com)
The Kyocera Hydro Elite is a basic phone at the bottom of Verizon's lineup with a few interesting features.
Considering the branding and $49.99 on-contract price, you naturally will set the bar a bit lower for what you can expect out of the Hydro Elite. And in the end, you'd be partially right in doing so. While the device's design isn't going to "wow"...

I am an avid snowboarder in the winter time and a white water rafting guide in the summer time. My life style is extremely dangerous and life threatening. This device was advertised as if it was a tough muddin' phone that can take whatever life might...

screen breaks easily, phone is not durable, the battery life is extremely inefficient, verizon SUCKS
