If the Cat S42 would be an animal it would be a workhorse. It is particularly suited to professions where careful handling of a phone is not possible or practical. For example, at high altitudes, in rough conditions or wet environments. Learn more about this remarkable work phone.
The Cat S42 is a water and dust resistant phone with a rugged body that makes a case unnecessary. The non-slip casing feels rubbery thanks to the TPU material. Dirt can be rinsed off by simply holding it under the tap. The housing is also resistant to extreme temperature changes and shocks. For this it has received the military MIL-SPEC 810H certificate. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 which is more resistant to falls. The S42 is also helped by a rubber edge around the screen. Everything for a safe working environment.
You would almost not say it but the Cat S42 is otherwise a regular phone. One that features a 5.5-inch screen with HD+ resolution and in a modern 18:9 ratio. There are still bars below the screen and Cat doesn't use them for buttons this time around. There is an extra button that you can set yourself. You can use it to open your favorite app, for example. The battery is big enough for a whole day of hard work with 4200 mAh. It is a shame that there is relatively little storage memory. The 32GB is in practice so full. Fortunately, you can expand it with up to 256GB by inserting a memory card.
Furthermore, this S42 features a 13MP rear camera with fast and accurate autofocus and a bright f/2.0 lens. On the front is a 5MP shooter for selfies or video calls. Under the hood, this S42 is powered by a MediaTek Helio A20 chipset. Unfortunately, not the most powerful processor. Also, this S42 doesn't offer a fingerprint scanner but that won't work with gloves on either. The screen does because it does work with gloves on. And even wet fingers it recognizes effortlessly.
