Kyocera is one smartphone manufacturer that could care less about beating the competition on specs. It makes cheap phones that either won't receive updates or won't get them until long after you've given up hope. But the handsets are affordable, and many of the later models tend to be pretty rugged.

Both of these hold true for the Kyocera Hydro Wave, which is now available from T-Mobile and on its way to MetroPCS. This 5-inch qHD phone comes powered by a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal memory. Fortunately, there's a microSD card slot for extra storage. There are 2MP and 5MP cameras on the front and back respectively. A 2300mAh battery keeps everything running.

But unlike with the Hydro Vibe, Kyocera has opted to ship the Hydro Wave with the latest version of Android. Forget receiving a KitKat update a year after it came out—this time Kyocera customers get to walk out with Android 5.1. When you consider the phone's IPX5 and IPX7 certifications, allowing the device to survive in up to a meter of water for half an hour, you're looking at a halfway decent piece of tech.

T-Mobile is offering the Kyocera Hydro Wave for $150. MetroPCS will start selling the phone on July 27th.
