Kyocera Brigadier Review By GottaBeMobile
Josh Smith with gotta be mobile. com, say we're taking a look at the Kyocera Brigadier. This is a rugged, smartphone and so you're able to do a little more with it than you would on a traditional phone like the Galaxy s5 and the iPhone 5s. Unless you have a very nice and pretty expensive king sixty to eighty dollars for an otter box or a lightproof turn the iPhone into something that will match this now. One thing that is nice about this is: it is designed to be used with gloves on same thing with screen. If the screen is wet, I can still use it, get most of the water off.
There's still water drops on the screen, but I'm able to activate and use the device. Now this phone is pretty rugged. I've dropped it to the concrete pavers over here, and I also dropped this on rocks. The only real damage I have seen isn't to the actual display. It looks like the water drops are affecting the display slightly, but it's still usable with some water on it.
The there's, a small Nick right here that you're not gonna, be able to see really well on video, but you're able to see it. If you over to got to be mobile calm, you can see it in the photos there. Overall, this phone stood up to a decent amount of abuse. I can toss it into the water over here, and I'm not going to jump in, but you can take these six feet.30 minutes I've tried that out in the pool headed in the pool for about five to ten minutes, and there were no issues when you're done with it. You're going to want to take it out and dry it off.
Of course, it's not designed to be used underwater, but you can survive getting wet. That's one of the great things about smartphones like this. You may make a few sacrifices. This is a 720p display compared to the 1080 that we typically see on smartphones and the eight megapixel camera on the back is nice, but not the best. So those are two things that you kind of give up for this rugged design.
Now this is like a plastic back with some drippy edges here, receive looking design, something that I do like not everyone's going to find that quite as attractive. You have a lot of buttons on here. We have a dedicated camera button up top. We have a power button. If you're on a phone call, you can press this button, it will turn speakerphone on our volume buttons and then a dedicated button.
I have this set just to wake the display, because the power button sometimes can be hard to find, so I just hold that, and it will turn the display on get access to my compass, flashlight and some of these other widgets that are built in it's also a barometer in this device and if I slide over here, you have access to some quick settings for brightness. Increasing the font throughout the system and I can go in the barometer check. The current barometer ratings altitude psi and there's this Eco mode. So if I turn this on or if I have this set to auto, it will do some things to basically improve the overall battery life advice. Even with that off I'm able to get through a full day, a pretty heavy use that includes being outdoors for most of the day, while at the fair and over the Labor Day weekend and using the phone heavily with the screen, brightness really high up.
Now there were a few days when I wasn't able to use the device and I looked at sit and standby time was pretty good. Let's just sit for two days, and they were still battery life left, Verizon and Kyocera rated at fifteen days of standby I. Don't know it will actually achieve that with all the radios and everything on, but something you're, probably gonna watch charged every night if you're using it heavily. If you want to go eco and turn down some settings, you could probably get by on a weekend campout. Just barely you check out more about the Kyocera Brady over at gotta, be mobile comm, including how it fares on drop tests.
