Kyocera DuraForce Ultra 5G UW E7110 | Ultra Rugged 5G Smartphone for Use on The Verizon Wideband Network

Loved this phone- had to change when I got a new job. Very durable- I even jumped in a swimming hole with it in my wranglers and the phone worked after I dried it out. Another time I ran it over with a 3 ton tractor (on accident) and it was in multiple pieces- while looking at it frustrated, my wife called and it still lite up- it basically the phone version on the A-10 warthog plane. Pictures are good, but not as clear as an iPhone of course. I never used , but loved the push to talk function. It’s big. One of the best things (in my opinion) is for some reason the group text didn’t work right (might be user error which I never attempted to fix) and I was left off most of my and my in law group texts- freaking awesome! I hate group texts. It had something to do with when iPhoners would name a group text- it would bounce me off …darn (sarcastic).

Wasted money not rugged at all lasted six months junk

It worked fine for a few days, I put it on a charger overnight. In the morning,the screen was jumping around by itself and did not respond to human touch, rendering the phone worthless

II kind of wish I could do 4.5 but really, the phone is as described. The phone is a 2022 build but I guess that's what this phone is so it had to do quite a few updates. That would be my only complaint. Other than that which really is not a big deal, the transaction was great. This is the 3rd Kyocera Duraforce I've had and the only reason I was getting a new one was my batter was shot after 2.5 years (which a known fact for these phones, they're not great batteries) Upsides on these phones is they are durable right out of the box. No case needed. I actually dropped the most recent phone in the ocean put in my back pocket and just carried when it was fairly new and never a problem. Shatterproof screen. On with this purchase - since I was just switching to a new phone same version, it was quite simple. Verizon store / salesman was a joke and they are trained to confuse you and charge for all these weird fees and ".$50 / month for 36 months and charge this but credit this etc .. No thanks! So, I ordered this here, when it arrived I turned both phones off, swapped SIM card to new phone, the 2 phones even walked me through an app swap wirelessly. One issue I was having with the old phone was (new truck) Android Auto hook up. Wasn't sure if it was the phone or the truck or what, but Albeit only 2 short drives with new phone, it seems to be much better and hooking up great each time now. Now, I am not a slave to Verizon each month for payments etc .. I own the phone and I even have the old phone a as back up as it still worked but the battery just was shot. Only downside to these phones after a couple years.

The updated version of the duoforce pro isnt nearly as user friendly or as durable as the old versions. I had my last pro for about 7 years and rarely had any issues, but in moving on to the ultra 5 version, I have had issues with functionality (Having to reboot the phone orten) and now, with a simple drop from about 3 feet, the screen cracked. This phone was just not up to the standards that I am used to dealing with for the Kyocera brand.
