After a long, relentless, New England winter, I am looking forward to spending as much time as possible in and around the water this summer. Whether we are at the beach, a pool, or a water park, I’m going to be out enjoying the fresh air and the cool water while relaxing with my family. I used to feel anxious about dropping my cell phone into the water and ruining it. Those fears are gone now that I’ve discovered the Hydro Vibe by Kyocera. The new Kyocera Hydro Vibe waterproof 4G LTE smartphone can be completely submerged in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Can you even imagine?
We hit the local water park a few weeks ago and I put it to the test. The 8-megapixel rear camera came in handy for capturing great shots of The Boy enjoying the attractions! {I want to mention that the camera also includes a great LED flash as well as video capabilities.} With his park mandated life jacket on, The Boy was ready to explore!
I was standing in the water while taking these photos. The people around me must have thought I was nuts for bringing my phone into the water!
Just a few seconds after I took the photo below, the bucket let go unleashing gallons of water! The Kyocera Hydro Vibe got wet and my initial reaction was panic. Until I remembered that it is water-resistant 3 feet for up to 30 minutes!
Even after getting wet, the Hydro Vibe continues to take amazing photos!
It takes awesome selfies too!
I know what you’re thinking – how can this possibly be true?! How do we know she REALLY got it wet? Here’s proof.
Once I dried it off, I took another photo. It’s still working!
Awesome, right? No more skipping great shots at the beach because of fear of getting your phone wet! It’s an all around win!
As part of Sprint’s offerings on this new device, the Kyocera Hydro Vibe waterproof 4G LTE smartphone will have the added benefit of running on the Sprint Spark network, which enhances the phone’s LTE service, allowing for high quality video. Hurry and get yours today!
Have you ever dropped your cell phone in the water?

I love the companies are making phones waterproof now! I’ve had a few close-calls with mine.

I *Might* just have a reputation for being klutzy… and that reputation might include dropping my phone in various sinks/toilets/bath tubs full of water… My husband is so going to end up getting me this phone! LOL

Cassie @ Live.Laugh.L0ve. says
I’ve seen this phone around and I think it’s AMAZING!! The fact that you can get it wet and it still works just blows my mind! I think ALL phones should be made this way! 🙂

Oh I just love how this really works fine after getting wet. That would have saved me several phones and a bunch of $$.
