CAT S42 Review: Exactly What a Rugged Phone Should Be

[@DaxterSnickers]

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 have s42, and a metal block wighting 50 kg fell onto it, and it only got small crack on screen.

[@PatFarrellKTM]

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

[@payman1023]

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.

[@ApocGuy]

@@payman1023 crashes too? because i for one wouldnt want to take samsung/apple for grand or more and then trash it with first or second touch with the ground.

[@sslalaninz]

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

[@Pilsnor]

A have a few friends who works in construction and this phone seems to be the standard work phone these days

[@Leandraar]

they should make a better version for moms, with a high quality camera, that will be a hit xD moms always have problems with her phones because children are clumsy and they play a lot with phones 😆

[@HorrorMood]

Great review, thanks! Covered exactly all of what I wanted to know.

[@ximoagut7528]

I like this CAT S42 phone

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

Do ya usually do videos in the dark?

[@cvcubes8578]

My girlfriend has his phone It works pretty well for what it is but then again it was $64 at Amazon that all her parents would spend on her for her phone so she doesn't have much option anyways

[@Timothydlol]

Hello and thanks for the review. Do you have any idea if this phone is compatible with google chromecast (onto televisions?)

[@andronaline]

Thanks, unique device.

[@nisekorealtysalesnrs6757]

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.

[@jozefkaculini9022]

Hi.The Cat phones are rugged,and the latest device S42 and S62 are made by the the latest Mil STD 810H,and also are IP68 water and dust resistent.Don't worry,the are produced with advanced materials.Thank you.

[@aoifelawrence5349]

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

[@aoifelawrence5349]

and how do I enter the competition? :P

[@realMJD1]

I was also looking for a good phone to use for delivery/prolonged use of navigations. Did you end up buying this one, or did you find a better phone for this?

[@aoifelawrence5349]

@@realMJD1 I didn't! I was on a bit of a budget and got so lost and overwhelmed with all the choices and varying reviews so just kept going with my iPhone. I'd be down to receive any insights from you!

[@aoifelawrence5349]

I will be doing more deliveries over summer after my exams so might need to start searching again!

[@Countravendark]

I so badly want it😍😍. Question v Is it possible to film or make pictures under water?

[@jozefkaculini9022]

Hi.As what i know the S42 did not have a under water mode to make photos.

[@ColdDrunkIndian-qt3mk]

I work construction but i also use my phone to game and other stuff. I wish they would make a super fast quality phone that l had something like samsung dex....actually i just wish samsung would make a quality powerhouse phone that had samsung dex and was built for construction.

[@dejandjn]

So this also needs a google account to work?

[@llVIU]

5:50 yes, the corrosive issues after you use water on your phone might not show until much later. Not instantly.

[@HeorhiiDidenko]

Thanks, good work

[@soundknight]

How much they pay you?? You’re really selling it.

[@TH-eb5ro]

My dad is in HI and destroys phones, this is great for him. Anyone know a set of wired ear buds equally durable?

[@jozefkaculini9022]

Hi.As what i know,Cat sells from their home page rugged ear buds.So,search on their website.

[@Chemy.]

Looks nice for outdoors activities

[@jozefkaculini9022]

Yes,it is.The Cat phones mainly are produced for outdoor activities,but also for professional users.Also this phones are ultra-resistent and they have a long lasting battery life .Thank you.

[@sleuthdogunhelmeted7404]

Until it decides to stop charging!

[@myselfbiswajit21]

Wow phone

[@desiredditor]

the internals are bad i can see the lag on screen

[@jozefkaculini9022]

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.

[@warriorsage591]

Or you can just get an otterbox for a couple dollars lol

[@Mostly-Aviation]

🎉🎉

[@payman1023]

What a joke. I can drop my phone all day long onto gravel, and it's going to be just fine.

[@ApocGuy]

i can drop my dumb samsung from third or forth story and will still work after that. its WORK/OUTDOOR phone not flagship for office workers.
