At the time of its release, Kyocera Torque came pre-installed with the old Android OS, version 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Sprint has announced today that it will begin rolling out Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean for Kyocera Torque from July 5th.
Most rugged devices in the market today offer decent water and dust protection, the particular device can withstand all that, and then some.
