    The Kyocera Hydro View was a smoking deal for only $30. It has a decent size 5-inch screen and it has a wet touch screen feature which makes it still usable whenever your hands or the device is wet. It has Android 5.1, which isn't the most up to date operating system, but it is still new enough to have 4G LTE functionality.

    It's a $30 phone so I don't expect much. It's working good for me so far. Bought it because it was the cheapest smartphone and cricket also had the cheapest unlimited service plan. Don't expect good pictures from such a cheap phone but works just fine for phone calls and texting and minimal data usage.

    I got this phone for my son who loses his phone and breaks his phone. For $25 it has been a pretty good little thing. He can do the normal functions an 11 year needs. Snap chat, phone calls, multiple games and text messaging.

    This phone is good for the price and its intent. Not enough memories and the phone don't have the away on function. Keyboard is small, hard to type. If your just want the phone for short term use than is worth it.

    The price at Best Buy was certainly better than what was available at the carrier. Nice phone - not many water resistant phones at this price range.

    The build quality was definitely not 1st class or even midrange. The screen was ok but the sensitivity of the touchscreen was not good. I tried to use it for navigation for work and the Google Maps kept getting stuck as did TomTom Go. For the price, I imagine it would be a perfect fit for someone who barely uses the phone, but for someone who depends on performance - look elsewhere!
