Display
We begin our Kyocera DuraForce vs Kyocera DuraForce Pro comparison by taking a quick peek at their display specs. Both smartphones make use of an impact-resistant IPS screen, but the DuraForce Pro's display gets a higher resolution than that of the DuraForce (1920 x 1080 pixels versus 1280 x 720 pixels). There is also a slight difference in the sizes of their displays, as the DuraForce Pro is given a 5-inch screen versus that of the DuraForce, which measures 4.5 inches. DPI-wise, the DuraForce Pro's screen also takes the cake, listing a DPI of 440.37, compared to that of the DuraForce (326.53 DPI). Despite getting run over by the DuraForce Pro when it comes to their display features, the DuraForce still enjoys a cozy spot in our list of 10 Best Kyocera Cell Phones as of 2016.

Performance
Our Kyocera DuraForce versus Kyocera DuraForce Pro comparison now sets foot on the performance front. As foreseen, the DuraForce Pro gets a significant performance upgrade over the DuraForce, carrying an octa-core 1.5GHz CPU that will most likely outrun the quad-core 1.4GHz processor of the DuraForce. Storage-wise, we also spotted a notable difference, with the DuraForce just offering 16GB of built-in memory, which is 50% less than that of the DuraForce Pro (32GB of storage capacity).

Physical Features
We continue our Kyocera DuraForce versus Kyocera DuraForce 2 comparison by highlighting the differences in their physical specs. Despite having a larger display, the DuraForce Pro manages to get a slightly-thinner profile than the DuraForce, measuring 12.9 millimeters thick, which is 1 millimeter less than that of the DuraForce (13.9-millimeter thickness). With their rather-thick profiles, these two smartphones are highly unlikely to make it to our list of Thinnest Cellphones as of 2016. The DuraForce, however, asserts itself as the more-compact smartphone with its 2.78-inch width, which is a little bit smaller than that of the DuraForce Pro (2.89 inches), and a 5.39-inch height (versus 5.84 inches for the DuraForce Pro).
