Kyocera Torque XT is a mid level cellphone launched some years ago, in 2014, having a 4″ multi-touch capacitive display, a powerful Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1.2 GHz, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front side camera. That’s all? Not at all, it’s only the starting point of this in-depth review.
The Kyocera Torque XT isn’t very light comparing to other cellphones , with a weight of 5.94 ounces. This phone is quite thick compared to current cellphones, with a thickness of 0.51″. The Kyocera Torque XT is only available in black color.
Kyocera equipped this cellphone with a nice 4-inches screen, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , which makes all pictures and movies look very good. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
Kyocera decided to equip this phone with a great performance Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1.2 gigahertz, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 system chip with 1 GB of RAM memory. Collaborating with graphic calculations, it also has a 400 megahertz Adreno 225 GPU. The Kyocera Torque XT comes with a medium 4 GB internal storage, which is enough for the vast majority of users knowing that it also has an external memory card slot to store photos and videos.
This cellphone counts with wi-fi connection (and it can be provided to other devices around, acting as a router or modem), 4G LTE high speed connection type or 3G data connection, using EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone doesn’t use a SIM card, because it doesn’t work with GSM connections and it works in CDMA carriers.
This phone features two cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.3 MP front side camera. This cellphone can also film 1920×1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps. In addition, this cellphone’s camera also counts with many great characteristics like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, fast burst mode, smile detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.
This phone uses a 2500 mAh large Li-Ion removable battery that provides this cellphone a great battery life.
