AT&T today said it will soon offer the DuraForce XD, a rugged Android phablet from Kyocera.
The DuraForce XD picks up where last year’s DuraForce left off with a bigger 5.7-inch HD screen with wet-finger tracking and glove support. Despite the increase in size, the XD maintains the DuraForce’s mil-spec 810G and IP68 ratings for protection against abuse and liquids.
It is safe from drops, shock, vibration, temperature extremes, blowing rain, low pressure, high altitude, solar radiation, salt fog, humidity, and a dunk in the drink (6 feet for 30 minutes). It is safe to use in some potentially work hazardous work environments, such as places with flammable gases or vapors.
The phone supports AT&T’s enhanced-PTT service and comes with a bevy of business-friendly apps and services. The XD has loud, dual speakers that can reach 110dB, and it includes a 3,700mAh battery. The Kyocera DuraForce XD will go on sale in a few weeks. Pricing wasn’t revealed.
