Ting Unboxing and Giveaway: Kyocera Hydro Vibe

Jesse Simms • July 14, 2014

In a recent unboxing, we mentioned that the Coolpad Quattro II is the best mid-range device to come to Ting thus far. Only a month later, we think it’s safe to say that the Quattro II has some serious competition for the throne.

While the Quattro II is only $198, for 30 bucks more you can get your hands on a quad-core powerhouse with an 8 megapixel camera that’s rated waterproof for up to 1m (3.28 feet) of water for 30 minutes.

The Kyocera Hydro Vibe’s impact-resistant glass will save your screen from any unfortunate fumbles. At the same time, Kyocera’s Smart Sonic Receiver Technology promises crisp, clear audio, even in super noisy places like a concert or a nightclub. With a 4.5-inch qHD display, 4.3 Android Jelly Bean and 4G LTE compatibility, at $228, it’s a great option at a mid-range price.

In this Ting Unboxing, we take a good look at the Hydro Vibe, check out its physical features, delve into the OS and give the device a quick dunk.

We’re also giving away two brand new Kyocera Hydro Vibes! To find out how you can enter to win this waterproof wonder, watch our unboxing. *Congrats to both of our winners!

Winner must be a resident of the United States and will be randomly selected on Friday, July 18 at 3 PM EST. The winner will be announced in this blog post and on Google+.
