I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Sprint. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and to thank me for participating. #SprintMom
As a 2014 Sprint Ambassador, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to try out various Sprint devices and services, and then share my experiences with you here on The Sensible Mom.
Today, I’m sharing what I love most about the new Kyocera Hydro Vibe waterproof 4G LTE smartphone.
Without a doubt, my very favorite thing about this phone is that it is waterproof.
A Funny Story
A few years ago, I was driving home from somewhere, and at the time I had a habit of getting into our car and sitting my phone in one of the car’s cup holders. Well, I happened to do that very thing that particular day and much to my surprise, when I looked down at the cup holder after I arrived home, I realized that I had put my phone into a cup holder that was filled with some sort of liquid. It was probably what’s known as “pop” here in Illinois. π
Anyway, my phone died, and it never regained consciousness.
That incident would have turned out differently had my phone been a waterproof Kyocera Hydro Vibe, because this phone can handle hanging out in liquid for a while.
The Day I Took a Million Pictures at the Pool
I recently took the Kyocera Hydro Vibe smartphone with me to our local waterpark, and it was fantastic being able to carry it around and snap pictures of my kids without the fear of accidentally dropping it in pool.
Nope. With this phone, I was able to take tons of great quality pictures and videos of my family and even had a little fun dunking it in the water on purpose! π
The Kyocera Hydro Vibe smartphone has an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and video camera.
I shared this collage in another post but wanted to post it again, so that you can see the truly high-quality pictures you can take with the Kyocera Hydro Vibe 4G LTE smartphone.
Besides the fact that it’s waterproof and takes high-quality pictures and videos, I love that this smartphone’s battery lasts all day.
Even after using the phone quite a bit on the day we spent seven hours at the waterpark, it didn’t need to be charged at all while we were there.
I’m loving this trusty new waterproof smartphone. Bath time, pool time, or backyard water hose, I can be worry-free with the Kyocera Hydro Vibe.
Have you ever thought about choosing a waterproof smartphone? Do you have a funny smartphone water mishap story? π

I think this would be a good phone for me. With all rain we get here it would be good to have a waterproof phone. I wouldn’t have to worry about using it in the rain or dropping it in a puddle. Or when my son decides to see if it can float. I’ll have to look into this phone when I need to replace my current one. I was wondering what camera you used at the waterpark, it took great photos and now I know.

Hi Shelly! This is truly a great waterproof phone. You wouldn’t have to worry about your son checking out its floating capabilities, and it does take great pictures. π
