The Cat S32 is the newest addition to Cat's phone portfolio and it is an ultra-durable smartphone that's designed to withstand harsh or extreme outdoor environments. The rugged phone boasts a long battery life, a large display and a design that's waterproof, dustproof and made to survive drops. Like previously released models, this Cat smartphone was rigorously tested against everything from vibrations and salt mists to thermal shocks to prove that it has the ability to withstand virtually anything that can be thrown its way.
The immensely tough smartphone is specifically optimized for outdoor use and can be used with wet fingers or gloves. Although the Cat S32 has been drop tested to 1.8M onto steel, it boasts extra grip to prevent tumbles.
