DuraForce Ultra has a disappointing battery
performance ceilings are much lower
video is only mildly stabilized
Podcast Your browser does not support the audio element
out-of-focus objects and muted colors
when Web browsing speeds were inconsistent
quickly scrolling down Internet sites lagged a bit
Verizon s 5G network is kind of lackluster overall at this point
Extreme activities are generally not recommended in your second trimester of pregnancy
a lot of Bitcoin had been stolen
dull colors are dull
limited viewing angles and a drab overall
it s too bulky for any of my jeans pockets
s no great loss
would pop open often when the phone landed
Voices sounded thin albeit the volume was loud and full
Ultra 5G UW was scratched but not the screen
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
Does Kyocera DuraForce have wireless charging
it does not support wireless charging
the Pro 2 is limited to 13MP
DuraForce is also running on a very outdated Android 6
Image quality is passable
memory/storage specifications are underwhelming for the asking price
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
photos to shots on a job site and not sweeping vistas or intimate portraits
these phones produce very lackluster photos
survived with just tiny scuff marks on the frames
image of the produce stand is a bit dimmer
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
no UI overlay present
