I have a S41 and its by far the best phone ive ever had. I forgot it on my car roof and drove of. At 60mph it fell onto tarmac and nothing happened to it. Any other glas cannon would have been shattered into pieces. I dont spend a fortune for just a fast processor. It works, forever, and this is what is needed, not only for the environment.

I had a S41 for 3 years and liked it a lot. Same observations as you say about the S42, its not super fast, but survived 3 years on my dirt bike. I bought a S42 last week, as the S41's battery seemed to have swollen. The S42 is just like you say. Very rugged, acceptably fast, camera is so-so

I've got news for you. Just about any Android phone will survive three years on your dirt bike, and give you better performance at the same time.

I love CAT phone, it's a modest rugged phone, obviously, you can't compare it with modern Andriod phones. But CAT phones are known for their durability which is their USP

I have found CAT phones not to be what they state they are on their website and in their advertising. Definitely not as rugged as they make them out to be, for me. I will think twice before buying in the future.

hey there! thanks so much for this video! I'm outdoors a lot and often working as a cleaner/chef so a rugged phone really appeals to me, especially as I am quite clumsy. I am looking to work for deliver/uber eats ... very phone based outside work so thought the s42 would be a good companion to do a bit of that work too. Though after watching your video, I am afraid it won't be good for prolonged use of apps/navigation systems. What do you reckon? Would it do fine running an app like deliveroo and google maps for 4-6 hours at a time? Thanks so much again

Hi.The Cat S42 is fast enough,but is not design for speed, but for durability,eficensy and long lasting battery life.This is a niche product and is not for everybody,but for proffessionals and for people who works in harsh work place.Thank you.
