Earlier today Kyocera announced its latest Android-powered smartphone. But it’s a little different from its previous offerings. The Hydro XTRM (presumably pronounced “extreme”) is designed to handle all the rough and tumble you could possibly throw at it. It’s waterproof, drop-proof and shock-proof. And it’s been designed specifically with businesses in mind. Particularly businesses where more durable hardware is preferable.

A run down of a few specs

• IP57 certified for protection against dust, and water submersion up to 3.28 feet (1 meter)
• Reinforced corners and impact-resistant display
• Meets Military Standard 810G for shocks and drops
• 4G LTE
• 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor
• Smart Sonic Receiver technology, helps users hear conversations in noisy environments
• Wi-Fi calling support
• Wi-Fi hotspot
• 4-inch FFS (fringe field switching) display
• 800 x 480 resolution (233ppi)
• 5.0MP rear camera
• 1.3MP front facing camera
• 2000mAh battery
• Runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

All in all, it’s clear that specs weren’t the key focus here. It’s about making a capable and durable device, designed to be bought in bulk and handed out to a workforce who spend their days in industrial sites. It’s only going to be available through the B2B channels from November 2oth.
