Most of you already know I’m part of thee Verizon Lifestyle Blogger (#VZWBuzz) and they send me phones from time to time to share my thoughts on. Today we are going to be talking about an awesome gift idea for him – The Kyocera Brigadier with Sapphire Shield! I kid you not, without a doubt my husband, father, even my brother would love to get their hands on the Kyocera Brigadier™, and more importantly this device can keep up with them, it’s dust proof, waterproof, and lifeproof. The Kyocera Brigadier™ is an excellent device and with Christmas, sneaking up on us faster than most of us would like. I have gone back and forth 100 times on who would like the Kyocera Brigadier™ more – my father or my husband.
Finally, after a lot of going back and forth I went with my dad because my husband normally gets all the cool stuff, and it’s my dad’s turn. Plus, I think dad is a bit harder on his smartphones than my husband. My husband and dad are close, and I knew my husband would agree that it was a great gift for my dad.
Tech Gift Idea For Him Kyocera Brigadier with Sapphire Shield
Do you have someone in your life who just shouldn’t have a smartphone, because they’re lifestyle just doesn’t allow it? The people we love, but need a smartphone made to handle dust, vibration, falling, a drop in water now and again, oh and maybe being ran over the race car’s trailer.
Both my husband and my father need durable devices, it never fails they’re always doing something and manage to get their phone wet, run it over, drop it, and I can’t even remember them all.It’s hard to get upset with them because it’s just who they are, they word hard, and most smartphones just are not made enough to keep up – until the Kyocera Brigadier™.
My teen daughter has asked me for the Kyocera, but I have not given into her begging. The reason she wanted the phone so badly was because she didn’t keep her protective case on her Nokia Lumia and it broke after the 82 drop it couldn’t take it anymore, and broke. Gosh, that Nokia Lumia was a trooper, and Catie still misses it, and she isn’t getting another phone until she works for the money. Maybe if she pays for it, she will take care of it. Okay, sorry about ranting, lol.
Kyocera Brigadier™ Sapphire Shield™
Just the look of the Kyocera Brigadier™ is tough. The Brigadier features a durable HD 4.5-inch Sapphire Shield™ displaces, which is a Verizon Wireless Exclusive. You know what is cool. Sapphire Shield™ is super-strong! Can you believe its second only to diamonds in mineral hardness, sapphire is scratch proof, protects from screen drop on the rocks, and lab tests show the AWESOME Sapphire Shield™ is less likely to break than the strengthened touch-panel glass.
Kyocera Brigadier™ is Waterproof for up to 30 M
Don’t for a moment think that’s it, because the Kyocera is also made to handle being wet and dusty! Yes, the Kyocera will bring you peace of mind knowing it can handle the extreme weather. It is waterproof for up to 30 minutes, in up to 6 feet of water, and it also protects against pesky dust thanks to the IP68 certification! Use your phone the in extreme condition, it’s ready for action and to be put to work.

So what do you think so far? Is there anyone in your life who would enjoy the phone? I hope so, if not I have more awesome ness
Get over 360 hours of standby time, 26 hours of usage time, 8 MP camera rear-facing camera with flash and camcorder, and 2MP front-facing camera. We can’t forget the stunning 4.5 DH touchscreen, and it’s rocking Android 4.4 Kitkat®.
What about voice typing and actions? Who doesn’t want to control their smartphone with their voice? To use the voice actions use the microphone button, and start talking to send an email (SWEET), texts, etc.
Smartphones are already smart, right. Well, do you think they can get any smarter? Yes and this Kyocera Brigadier™ is the entire package – Brains and muscles! You’ll love some of the great, super-smart features like Face Unlock, which uses facial recognition. Android Bean™, which allows you to share contacts, directions and more by touching two devices together.
Oh, and how can I forget about the Smart Sonic Receiver, which makes audio performance off the charts and on Kyocera Brigadier™. When you’re in a noisy environment, just press the phone anywhere close to your ear. Now, the Smart Sonic Receiver takes the sound and turns it to vibration that goes directly to your eardrum, totally bypassing background noise and making everything clear!
OMG, it’s almost winter.. Have you ever tried to send a text message with gloves on? Try it! Did you know the Brigadier™ device doesn’t mind if you are wearing gloves or the rain. The Gove and Wet Touchscreen operation.
The Kyocera Brigadier with Sapphire Shield is an excellent device for anyone, but I can see my father benefiting from it more than anyone else at the moment.
