Kyocera Hydro Elite (Verizon Wireless)

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.

Sharp display. Waterproof. Comfortable for one-handed use.

Middling call quality. Underwhelming performance.

Multimedia, Camera, and Conclusions Of the 16GB of total storage, 7.4GB is allotted for system storage and apps, while 8.6GB is left for your files. There's an open microSD card slot under the back cover, which supports 32GB cards—it could not read our...

Kyocera Hydro Elite (Verizon) review

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.

Sluggish internal speeds and mediocre call quality bog down the device's performance.

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.

Splash and waterproof ; Compact and lightweight ; Close to stock Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean experience

Poor camera and video recording quality ; Calls sound muffled and distant

When it comes right down to it, the Kyocera Hydro Elite is your basic mid-range Android smartphone that happens to be splash and waterproof – up to a limit. It’s designed for people that want this added layer of protection, but without stepping up the...

Review: Kyocera Hydro Elite for Verizon Wireless

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.

Verizon Kyocera Hydro Elite review

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"...

"this phone is a piece of junk"
