Sprint is about to debut another budget-friendly Android smartphone, the Kyocera Torque. The handset has been recently spotted at Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which means it will probably go on sale in the coming weeks.

Kyocera Torque, also known as E6710, is a rugged smartphone powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system out of the box.

According to UnwiredView, the device comes with LTE and NFC (Near Field Communication) support, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

This would be the third Kyocera smartphone available for purchase via Sprint, along with Kyocera Rise and Milano.

Although there's no word on Kyocera Torque's pricing options, we expect that the rugged handset will go on sale for under $100 / €75 on 2-year contracts. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
