A truly rugged phone for truly rugged environments

Cat Phones has launched the Cat S52, the exceptionally thin and sleek truly rugged phone, perfect for rugged environments.

The Cat S52 defies user expectations of what a rugged phone looks like, combining military grade toughness with a pocket-friendly design that is thinner than a mainstream smartphone in an often-bulky case that offers limited protection.

SLEEK AND CLASSIC LOOK AND FEEL

At just 9.69mm thin and 210g, the S52 is strengthened by a high-grade aluminium frame with a thin but tough non-slip rubberised TPU backplate, ensuring a sleek, classic look and feel that is never out of place wherever your day takes you.

THE CAT S52 IS WATERPROOF

The front face of the Cat S52 is fully covered by scratch and crack-resistant Corning Gorilla glass 6 with full metallic keys and waterproof connectors completing the design.

Despite its elegant design, the latest Cat phone is as tough as ever, all round. Cat phones set the standard in rugged, and the Cat S52 is no exception. It is built to last, subjected to an extremely rigorous drop test onto steel, 30 times from 1.5 metres, including drops on every side and corner. It is dirt and dustproof, and can be fully submerged in water, with an Ingress Protection rating of IP68.

It’s also MIL SPEC 810G, this means Cat has put the product through a barrage of Military Spec robustness tests, including thermal shocks, high and low temperature extremes, vibration tests, tumble tests, and salt mist conditions, ensuring that with the Cat S52, accidents don’t happen.

‘Statistically, one in three consumers have severely damaged their phone from everyday mishaps in the last three years – that’s a lot of phones breaking. Not only is that hugely inconvenient for consumers but repairing or replacing phones can prove prohibitively expensive’

CLASS LEADING CAMERA

The main camera boasts fast and accurate focusing thanks to its dual pixel Sony sensor, and its bright f/1.8 aperture and large 1.4µm pixel size delivers great low-light performance. This, combined with advanced multi-frame image processing software, provides a classleading camera experience.

‘Statistically, one in three consumers have severely damaged their phone from everyday mishaps in the last three years – that’s a lot of phones breaking. Not only is that hugely inconvenient for consumers but repairing or replacing phones can prove prohibitively expensive. With the Cat S52, we’ve made a smartphone that life won’t break. It’s a true rugged Cat phone at its core, but with a mainstream design that looks and feels great. Sleek and tough – it’s one less thing to worry about,’ says Peter Cunningham, VP Product Portfolio at Bullitt Group.
