Kyocera Hydro Vibe Waterproof Smartphone Review

AnTuTu and Mobile XPRTBenchmarks
General System, CPU and User Experiential Performance

AnTuTu’s benchmark returns a number of scores. Since there are too many scores to graph, we’re including a look at all the numbers in a table. The Hydro Vibe earned its best score in the Database IO component of the test. It earned the lowest scores in comparison to others in our chart in Storage IO, RAM (Speed), CPU Float, UX Multitask, and Overall score.

The MobileXPRT benchmark runs through a variety of tests to evaluate the responsiveness of a device along with its ability to handle many everyday workloads. The Hydro Vibe reported the lowest Overall score in this test. The User Experience score was equal to that of the Galaxy Note 3 and better than the Galaxy Note II. Overall, looking through these results, we'd say you can expect user experience and performance to be acceptable versus most mainstream smartphones on the market but not quite at the level of the average high-end device.
