Scott: Hi, everyone. Scott Lewis here for WireFly. Today I'm here to unbox the Kyocera
Torque for Sprint. Before we dig into the box, one thing I wanted to mention is that
the Torque is a military spec phone; so that means all your headphone ports are going to
be plugged up, the micro USB port's probably going to have a plug in it, because it's moisture
resistant, shock resistant, dust proof, vibration resistant, and has higher tolerances to temperature
and humidity. Let's go ahead and dig into the box and see what you get with your Kyocera
Torque. This is the phone. Have the start guides and
user's manuals. Also a recycling bag to send your old phone back. Have the charge block,
just a single USB charge block. a micro USB charge cable. It's just a standard, nothing
fancy, micro USB charge cable. Then our battery for the Torque. Now, the battery's going to
be 2,500 milliamp power battery. It's good for about 18 hours of talk time; so that's
the battery there. Set the cable and charge block to the side. Let's go ahead and open
the back, and install our battery. A couple things to note too, on the back before
I put the battery in, so that has a spot for a micro SD card. The on-board storage for
the Torque is 4GB of internal storage, so most likely you're going to want to put a
micro SD card in to expand your storage. That's where it goes. Something else to note is that
the Torque is an LTE smartphone, so it does take a SIM card. While a lot of smartphones
with sprint that have LTE had an embedded SIM card, this particular one has a removable
SIM card. This is one of the firsts for Sprint to have a SIM card that you can actually take
out of the phone. We'll leave that in. We'll go ahead and install the battery. Then
on the back you can also see that there's this orange gasket around the end, and once
again, that's because it's a ruggedized phone, and that helps with the water and moisture
and dust and humidity, keeping it out of the battery and all the inside components. On
the back here, it has a nice rubberized texture. It's not a soft rubber, but it's nice and
textured and it seems like it'd be something that would really hold in your hand very nicely.
Let's go ahead and cover some of the specs on the Torque.
Has a 1.2GHz dual core processor, 1GB of RAM, as I said, 4GB of internal storage. Has a
1.3MP front-facing camera. On the back it has a 5MP primary camera with an LED flash.
Let's go ahead and take a tour around the Torque real quick. On the side here, we have
our volume up and down rocker switch, this yellow button is our direct connect Sprint
2-way service, so it does have direct connect. On the top here, you have your headphone jack,
which is covered by a plug. Once again, to help the water-resistant and shock-resistant.
Up here it looks like our speaker phone button, as well as a power button. Camera shutter
button, which is always a nice thing to have. On the bottom is the micro USB charge port.
Once again, covered by a plug. One other thing to notice on the Torque is that it has physical
buttons down here at the bottom. Now, a lot of Android smartphones now come with virtual
buttons, so it is a unique feature to the Torque. That wraps up our unboxing of the
Kyocera Torque. We're going to be doing a full review of the Torque in the next 2 days,
and what we'd like you to do in the comments section below is tell us how we can test its
durability. Should we drop it off the WireFly building? Should we run it over with a car?
Should we freeze it in a block of ice? We would like to know what you would like to
see and how we can test the durability of the Kyocera Torque.
I look forward to seeing all the great comments and suggestions on how we can test the Kyocera
Torque. My name's Scott Lewis for WireFly, thanks for watching.
