Kyocera Brigadier Unboxing and First Look (4K) By Slashdot

What's up everyone, its Marco head out from phone ROG calm, we're gonna, be entering a very great stage in the mobile industry this year and also in 2015 I'm talking about durable, yet good-looking devices using sapphire crystal we're all expecting the brand new iPhone 6 to come with a sapphire crystal display, which should be almost virtually indestructible, because the only thing that can scratch sapphire crystal is e surface harder, which is diamonds and I, mean unless you have a diamond ring, and you smash your phone you're, probably not going to scratch that display, but manufacturers in China have already moved on to a sapphire crystal, including Kira Sarah, a very good company known for making durable devices. This is the brigadier, it's basically the super ruggedized phone from Kira Sarah, and it has sapphire crystal on the display. It's a four point. Five inch display 720p, it's not super flagship. It does have a quad-core processor and two gigabytes of RAM. But the main purpose of this phone is its durability.

It has sapphire crystal it's waterproof, its freeze, proof and its US proof. So let's take a look. What comes inside the box with the Kyocera brigade's you're on Verizon Wireless? So most of you guys ready so most of you guys know, but I really don't pay much attention to mid or high-end type of smartphones, but this would really strike my eye because one it is durable, plus it has a sapphire crystal display, which I really want to just get my hands on just to see how it reacts to certain types of abuse in terms of key-scratching falling on rocks falling on pavement, seeing how this screen actually takes a beating and then maybe compare other devices to it like Corning Gorilla, Glass 3, and this also gives you a great idea of how strong of actual sapphire crystal now before we get into the unboxing I, want to give a quick shout out to Best Buy Mobile for giving us spices like this for use in their one pop band giveaway game that phone gog. com, so you walk out working, would go to Best Buy, so go ahead and open up the box. Now this phone is definitely not the prettiest device.

You could probably save that it's pretty hefty in terms of what it looks like it looks like a phone that the military uses we have actual hard buttons kinda like for Samsung, Galaxy, s5, active and all the other devices, but have an active rating. A one is IP 58 rated, which means it can withstand up the 3 feet of water. For up to 30 minutes I've been on the back. We have an 8 megapixel camera. We also have an LED flash and internally a 30, 100 mill, amp hour battery.

It is non-removable, which means well again, you can't take it out. Let's go ahead and switch this guy on the power switch is actually on the top right-hand corner, and there we go. That's really cool look at the little Android in the water there and Kyra's hero logo goes in there, we'll go ahead and let that boot up. While we take a look, what else comes inside the box, all right product and safety warranty guides? You got a bunch of different manuals, you're, never looking at more manuals, more manuals. Ok got your micro, USB cable, and we also have your AC wall works and yep, and just your that's about it.

Nothing else inside that box we'll go ahead and put this off to the side. Ok, so we've got a fascinating, looking I guess this is a setup menu. So we'll go ahead and swipe up here, and this is gonna, be running. Android, 4.4.2, Kitkat, I'm, assuming this is Kira Sierra's actual custom. You know user interface, it looks pretty darn standard in terms of what it looks like yeah looks pretty, pretty close to standard anyway.

In turn, we have a Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor, clocked at 1.4, gigahertz, 2, gigabytes of RAM and built in 16 gigabytes of memory. Obviously, 2 gigabytes of RAM is set up for Android. You also do have a micro SD card slot on the right side, which will support up to 32 gigabyte cards, and then yeah I mean it's a pretty simple. Looking device get a super ruggedized I mean it looks like it can take a beating I'll, go ahead and drop it from like what 6 inches, and it looks like it survived. The fat ones so obviously there's a could be some more testing in terms of durability.

We're going to do a water test that I really do want to test out this sapphire crystal now. One thing you can say is that only is a 720p display, but it looks pretty darn clear. Maybe that's thanks to the sapphire crystal, because it's a pretty clear display type I mean the same as use on the iPhone 5 S on the camera lens. It also is touch ID sensor, so get it.
