The manual gadget

Smartphones have become quite an indispensible tool that people need to bring them anywhere. But there are areas that conventional smartphones just can’t reach, such as extreme cold or extremely hot areas. For those who find themselves frequenting such places, Sprint s introducing the new Kyocera Torque.

The Kyocera Torque is an ultra rugged 4G LTE Android smartphone that features an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS, 4.0-inch IPS touchscreen 5MP rear facing and 1.3MP front-facing cameras and a powerful 2500 mAh lithium ion battery. It also comes with a Smart Sonic Receiver feature that allows users to hear conversations clearer especially in noisy environments.

But more than that, the Kyocera Torque is a rugged Android smartphone that meets the IP67 standards for dust and water immersion. It also meets the Mil Spec 810G standards for protection against dust, shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, and water immersion for 30 minutes in up to 1 meter of water. The new Kyocera Torque rugged Android smartphone is available at Sprint for US$100 for a 2-year subscription.
