Scroll Right Scroll Left
If you want to get a contract-free handset with no service agreement, consider the Kyocera Hydro on Boost Mobile. For $100, you get a waterproof phone with Android 4.0 and excellent call quality.
The good: The Kyocera Hydro from Boost and runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, is waterproof, and has excellent call quality.
The bad: The Hydro has slow data and processor speeds, its speaker volume is low, and its profile is thick.
The bottom line: With Android 4.0, solid call quality, and waterproof capabilities, the Kyocera Hydro is a great prepaid device.
