Cat Phones has launched the Cat S52, 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.
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.
The front face of the product is fully covered by scratch and crack-resistant Corning Gorilla glass 6, slightly recessed below a surrounding protective ridge, with full metallic keys and waterproof connectors completing the design.
It’s built to last, subjected to our extremely rigorous drop test onto steel, 30 times from 1,5m, 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, having passed robustness tests including thermal shocks, high and low temperature -extremes, vibration tests, tumble tests, and salt mist conditions.
