Fast forward to today, and what we have is a crystal clear shot – yes sir, none of that lousy blurry cam photos, of the Kyocera Brigadier, which is a smartphone that will boast of a sapphire display – something that the iPhone 6 might look on with a tinge of envy.
Verizon has been rumored to be the mobile carrier of choice to deliver the Kyocera Brigadier to the masses in the US, but it seems that no official confirmation has been made concerning the situation just yet.

The Kyocera Brigadier does not seem to be lined up to be a popular smartphone for all walks of life, but rather, it is being marketed as a rugged smartphone, which is something Kyocera has had plenty of experience with.
