Cat S52: I tested just how rugged this 'indestructible' smartphone really is

[@toms7431]

You broke the screen protector, was the screen under it actually broken? Just remove the protector and have another look.

[@Dj_Internet]

This is the phone I'm using now. It's actually a rugged phone. I've dropped mine about 24 times in total and it's just the screen protector that got damaged. This is just the best phone to get at $600 or £450

[@richardpowell4281]

"up to" means that is a maximum threshold. So at least 50% of the time a phone would still be functioning after 30 drops. It doesn't say it will be undamaged, just functioning, which even after your 12 drops it was functioning. Similar thing for the temperatures, those aren't necessarily operating temps. If the phone is giving you temperature warnings its obviously still functional. It was a well put together video, but I don't agree with your conclusion. I think if you did a similar test with most flagship phones today they would fail miserably.

Plus freezers work at -16 to -24...

[@WojciechowskaAnna]

@@icantdriveslow exactly, to make the test sensible - freezer temperature as well as time phone spent - should be measured. This KZbinr does not have engineering ambitions.

[@davidzapata5611]

I think your conclusions are wrong, it's only giving you a temp warning and you said it's disappointing. It's just a warning message, and the phone is working!! At that point I stopped watching the video, not a review I can trust.

[@cosmisfilip1552]

that crack u saw there is just a protective plastic layer 🤣 try and learn more about your smartphone before you decide to make any reviews. and btw your iPhone won’t las more then 2 drops 👍

[@Der_Gallier]

and wasnt actualy made by cat aswell jsut the brand

[@Exolumon]

Yep. Im convinced. Im buying that phone! It may not fill the needs as a hardcore construction worker but im just a clumsy guy in need of a phone that doesnt get completely annihilated by a single grain of sand. who forgets their phone in the freezer after smashing it 13 times on concrete anyway right? Great video! Thank you :)

[@shivalibest5252]

Haha thanks Georg! Yeah, I wouldn't recommend freezing it or dropping it 13 times, but it's great for every day use!

[@larabates2589]

Yes same

[@Davidmartin-fk8gu]

the drop test doesn't say it was dropped on concrete it says that its dropped on ply wood with concrete backing.

[@salvadordali8528]

You never told us is fingerprint works ?

[@sihilius]

Well: 1) Submerging any Phone in pure bleach is not a good Idea and when they tell you, you can wash it with bleach, they're probably talking about diluted bleach, as pure bleach is something you should definitely not get anywhere near your skin. 2) The cracks you mention are certainly not visible. To me it looks like the protective foil has lost contact to the screen, which is to be expected with what you did to that phone. And also the whole are of "damage" was located above the actual display. 3) You get the Notification about the low temperature, because Temperature below the freezing point of water are bad for any type of lithium battery. This is a physical limitation of our current technology. Conclusion: You did treat this phone really badly in your test, which is fair, but expecting it to look like new is a very unrealistic expectation. Any "normal" Phone would have been destroyed by this test, while this one still does everything it is supposed to do.

[@kevinhogberg3335]

First thing. They said you can CLEAN it in bleach not submerge it in bleach. Secondly unless you’re 3 meters tall I don’t think they meant it can be dropped from that height. I believe that they meant from pocket height and lastly. I’d like to see a iPhone survive as well as the cat did

[@shivalibest5252]

Hey Kevin, thanks for your comment! I can confirm that Cat said: "It can be put directly into a bucket of disinfectant or bleach. It won't break, water won't get in the openings and there's no need to wait for ports to dry out before using them." Cat also says it should be able to survive drops from 1.8 metres, not just pocket height. You can find more information here: www.catphones.com/en-gb/cat-s52-smartphone/

[@padangpasir8150]

Great video, thank you❤❤❤

[@nevinjohn3716]

Does it really support 4G LTE calls? I owe this phone but cannot find VoLTE icon in any 4G network!

[@bogdanprosa487]

The screen was undamaged. That was just the protective layer 🤦‍♂️. I think this phone is the best slim rugged phone there is

[@td_agri]

I have this phone Ive dropping it multiple times and just got a new screen protector and it's like new

[@torpedohippo8493]

It's rated for drops from 1m, not 1,5+ m.

[@mirkogasparin7173]

You broke protetion screan is ok

[@Floydandsome]

Where can I get a replacements for the screen protector?

[@YoutubeHero666]

Send it back for a replacement 😁

[@AllanLaal]

you should fix your freezer

[@sakkekoskinen9278]

yea, my freezer is -30c right now

[@tomovervest7158]

de cat 42 is sterker maar die is niet meer ondersuunt

[@Prince-zi1vt]

Iron phone launching in 2050 just for test experiments

[@Buster71]

Can you do one for the galaxy xcover pro

[@matokito]

I have cat s 61 for two years drops so many time on construction nothing happened, almost mint condition. Got xcover pro two weeks ago ☹️ already cracked screen. Phone just slept from my belt phone case.

[@happyguy2k]

Thanks for the video

[@Armin_27]

Iv´ve seen worse products. So if you include a decent rubber case, then this might still be my new phone. 🤔 Cool to see another fresh youtuber. ;) 👍👍

[@tomovervest7158]

een normalen telefoon zouw bij de eerste val al laang niet meer werken

[@karou6969]

ofc it says that battery temperature is too low :/ that's normal, while technology has got better, batteries are still utter trash compared to the rest, hence inflated batteries for example li-ion batteries are good, but very reactive

[@robertheller4583]

Go with Ulefone armor 7 or blackview BV 9900

[@Floydandsome]

Phones from China, I would rather not consider that

[@sihilius]

@@Floydandsome What do you think, where cat phones are made🤣.

[@Floydandsome]

@@sihilius Taiwan Not part of China

[@sihilius]

@@Floydandsome Well, the Box of my S60 specifically states "Made in China"

[@Floydandsome]

@@sihilius That suck But probably due to political reason I remember 3 years ago when I first bought it they still claimed it made from Taiwan( the box said to be made in China tho)

[@maurus3161]

Haha they meant °celsius not farenheit😂

[@leebrowwski]

Guhhhhh! The purpose of such a phone was missed here. Gujjjj!

[@sihilius]

No it wasn't. But the conclusions were all wrong.

[@peterhayoz511]

Hallo das cat fon ist das beste Smartphone das es gibt

[@claudesuranjith2379]

I'm cat fan. Thanks I was about press the purchase button in the morning and my dad fell off..any way I had s60 it was way disappointing.any way I love the cat brand cos I'm outdoor guy.thanks I wont buy cat again..u save my 630usd..

[@bobross6677]

I mean what can't a woman break they are in control and they do what they want

[@Countravendark]

Thanks for the review, i was thinking of buying this "rugged phone" but have second thoughts about it now! I must say you have such beautifull hair 😍. Oh i also subscribed to your channel

[@tomovervest7158]

200 ero niet veel

[@astolk8783]

Not really an objective review...

[@charliebrown8172]

Outdoor smartphones are pointless! Why? Because they using Gorilla Glas 5 or 6! You can also buy a normal phone and put it in a rugged case! :D

[@hanhan3614]

Very shallow review. What you expect from a girl.

[@sihilius]

The review is misleading, yes. This is not because of the reviewers gender, but because of her attitude, unrealistic expectations and probably a bit of a lack in therms of technical knowledge. If she had informed herself beforehand and if she actually was interested in doing a proper review, she'd have done it right.There are plenty of males making the same mistakes and plenty of women knowing their stuff better than a lot of males do. Evidence tells you wrong. So keep your BS to yourself! Thanks!
