Cat B15
Cat B15 is a unique rugged smartphone as it combines a large 4-inch screen with full water, shock and dust proof capabilities. The phone runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and you have an access to millions of app through the Google Play Store. This is a device suitable for people that have a rough lifestyle involving a lot of work, dust and extreme weather conditions. The phone is 15mm thick, which is a lot, compared with the modern regular smartphones. The body has rubber surrounding, so it looks like you have put a protective case to a regular device. Cat B15 includes black rubberized ending and aluminum frames on the sides. The phone is designed to survive during extreme conditions, such as high or low temperatures, dust, water and shocks. In addition, the 4-inch screen allows you to use the phone even if it is wet. The phone withstands submerged in 1.8 meters for 30 minutes and survives during a drop onto a solid concrete floor. The screen offers you a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, which is great for a rugged model. The processor is a dual-core MediaTek clocked at 1 GHz with 512 MB of RAM. Other specs involved are 4 GB of storage, microSD slot and two cameras (5MP + VGA). | |
