Kyocera Hydro XTRM splashes down at MetroPCS

The waterproof Kyocera Hydro XTRM is now available from pre-paid carrier MetroPCS. Priced at $169 lock, stock and barrel, the Android powered handset is not only waterproof, but is also shock proof and drop proof according to the carrier. With IP57 certification, the phone can last 30 minutes in 3.28 feet of water although you can't actually use the device while it is submerged. The Military Standard 810G shock-proof design allows the handset to survive the drops that happen in everyday life.

The 4 inch LCD screen offers resolution of 480 x 800 for a pixel density of 233ppi. A dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 CPU is under the hood along with the Adreno 225 GPU. There is 4GB of native storage inside while the back and front-facing snappers weigh in at 5MP and 1.2MP respectively. A 2000mAh battery powers the phone and Android 4.1 is pre-installed.

If you're a MetroPCS customer who is constantly dropping his phone, or is always spilling drinks on it, the Kyocera Hydro XTRM will keep on working even with your butterfingers.
