Kyocera Hydro Vibe waterproof 4G LTE Smartphone

The latest device I was sent was the new Kyocera Hydro Vibe waterproof 4G LTE smartphone! Perfect for summertime and family trips. This phone is great not only on the go but is an essential device to take to the pool and beach with you! Why? Because it is waterproof and in order to capture those wet, silly summer moments, you NEED this smartphone!
Get this, the Kyocera Hydro Vibe waterproof 4G LTE smartphone can be completely submerged in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes! Incredible! When I first received this phone and wanted to use it near (and IN!) water, I was sooo afraid! I was so unsure! It was totally weird being able to submerge this smartphone in the water! But, I did and it still works! Posting pics of this ASAP, as my phone needed charging and died before I could download them! Note: video works way better than pictures, underwater.
The phone is comfortable in my hand. It is thinner than my regular phone, so that was nice, but it is about the same weight-wise. The back part is textured and nice. I like the screen (though it is a bit smaller at 4.5 inches, qHD impact-resistant touchscreen) and how clear it is.
My favorite feature on this phone though is that it IS waterproof. Hey, having kids can wreak havoc on anything you own, especially electronics like phones. I don’t know how many times I have heard horror stories of friends’ kids putting their phones in the toilet or getting them wet. With this phone, I don’t worry about that as much. Plus, I don’t have to worry about buying a waterproof case. Those can be spendy!
Another feature I just adore is the 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and video camera! I take sooo many pictures and videos, so this is great. I clear pictures and videos when I need them.
I am actually pretty thrilled about the Kyocera Hydro Vibe Waterproof 4G LTE Smartphone! This was super fun to test out, especially in the water! The pictures and videos are great and I really can’t find much wrong with it!
This phone would be great for tweens and teens as it is inexpensive, durable, and can get wet!

I can’t believe it’s waterproof! That would be awesome for me (and my toddler).
Tonia says
I just realized I’ve a had a waterproof case for my phone for over a year. It would be nice to just have a waterproof phone.

Congratulations on being a Spring Ambassador, that is a great brand to represent. The phone looks incredible. We wanted to take pictures on the lake when we were paddle boarding but were afraid of getting the phone wet.
Shannon (The Mommy-Files) says
What an awesome opportunity you have to be a Sprint Ambassador! I would love the waterproof phone someday!
Amy @GrinningCheektoCheek says
That’s fantastic that it’s waterproof! I wish my phone was waterproof!
Tiffany @DaydreamingRealist says
waterproof is the way to go!! Especially, since we all tend to carry our phones everywhere, all the time. I just purchased a water-resistant phone and I feel better already. I’ve never dropped a phone in water, but I’ve definitely had some close calls and rainy days with it on my person (I like saying that 🙂 ) .
Chrystal @ YUM eating says
Such a great phone. Be perfect for me as a food blogger who uses her phone to look up inspiration as shes cooking! My phone has seen a few drips!
Liz Mays says
The waterproof feature is INCREDIBLE. I’m so glad they finally came out with this!
Jenn @TheRebelChick says
That is such a cool phone! I love that we are getting more and more options out there!
Demetra says
This would be perfect for my teens. They both have low tech phones now but I would consider this when we upgrade.
Carly from The Puzzled Palate says
A waterproof phone, eh? That makes it 50 percent toddler proof! I will have to keep this one in mind when it is time to get new phones.
Lisa says
Waterproof is a feature I want. With 18 month old twins I have a feeling my phone will end up in water at some point.
Danielle @ We Have It All says
I have this phone, one of my teens is using it. It’s so nice to have a piece of mind knowing that it’s waterproof and the screen take a beating.

I would love that phone. Happy that you can get it wet.
Shell says
I love the idea of a waterproof phone. I have a waterproof case for mine, but I worry that it’s not as effective as it should be.
Becka says
I love the idea of a water proof phone. I can’t count how many phones I have taken swimming on accident or washed.. 🙂
Janeane Davis says
This phone is really great for real life. Water is an issue so this level of water protection is a welcome treat.
Veronica says
That is a really great idea of a phone for a tween. I should look at this for my son
Carly Anderson says
Wow, I am absolutely impressed with the quality of the photos it takes! I know my iPhone definitely doesn’t take that clear of pictures!
Lori says
I take a ton of photos with my cell phone. It’s nice when they have quality cameras.
Virginia @thatbaldchick says
I love how crisp and vibrant the photos are with it. Have to have a great camera on my phone.
Pam says
I love the photo from this phone! I am looking at new phones and new plans for when we upgrade. I have been looking at a few phones from Sprint.
Rosey says
I take a ton of pictures too. 🙂 I like Sprint products.
And I’m one of those people whose had the teen who borrowed a phone and dropped it in the water. Not fun. 😉
melinda says
i love that there are more waterproof options out there. I wish mine was
Jessica (Savory Experiments) says
Waterproof is totally the way to go. I just got a new one too and although I have not tested out the waterproof-ness (I just made that word up), I feel more comfortable knowing it should be.
Christy says
It’s a cool phone. I got to play with one last year at BlogHer.
Jenni E. {Sweet Pennies from Heaven} says
Definitely looks like THE phone to have during the summertime for sure! I love that it’s waterproof! I always take my phone out to the pool and getting in and out, with kids splashing I’m always afraid it’s gonna get drenched!
aimee fauci says
We were just talking about our Sprint service plan and my husband and daughter brought up another company and I was like.. oh now.. we are sticking with Sprint!
Dina says
I’m considering ditching my plan. Thanks for giving me your perspective on one I’ve not used!
Debbie Denny says
This looks like a great phone. Pictures are awesome.
Lindsey @ Redhead Baby Mama says
underwater video with a phone… that sounds so cool! SOmething I never thought I’d see!
Kayla says
I’ve been wondering how these work. They’re great for parents of toddlers who are fascinated with throwing things in the potty. 😉
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I love that it’s waterproof! That is a must-have item for every parent!
Moments with Mandi says
I have to say, whoever thought of the waterproof phone is a genius. With kids and being active, having a waterproof phone is almost a necessity!
Mitch says
Why don’t we all have waterproof cases for our phones! Thanks for this info! Mitch
Kay Adeola says
That is a great phone,I need one that can be in the water,I would hate to put it in the water the first time in case it did not work.
