Bullitt Group, the global licensee for Cat® phones, introduces the Cat S42, a robust smartphone designed for reliability, even in extreme situations.

The new addition to the range, now on sale with an MSRP of £229, benefits from Cat phones’ heritage and a decade of research and development in the design of rugged phones, bringing unrivalled toughness to this essential everyday work phone.

The Cat S42 is a remarkable workhorse with key features that customers in this segment truly value, especially a long battery life, market-leading rugged credentials, and a large and bright display that can be read in sunlight. Like all Cat phones it can also be regularly and thoroughly hygienically cleaned by being submerged and scrubbed with hot soapy water or disinfectant, an essential hygiene detail for those who must keep on working.

“Cat phones customers need a phone they can rely on, whether they are in the emergency services keeping us safe, or working in a hospital where hygiene is the priority, or in construction and needing a phone that’s tough enough to survive on site, day after day, the Cat S42 is designed to be utterly dependable and keep working for you,” said Peter Cunningham, VP Product Portfolio at Bullitt Group.

Tested to Cat phones’ demanding rugged standards with MIL SPEC 810H and IP68 ratings, it surpasses our rigorous and repeated drop testing from 1.8m onto steel, including multiple drops onto every side and corner, and is fully waterproof, tested submerged in water at depths up to 1.5m for 35 minutes. Like all Cat smartphones in the range, it is also put through vibration and tumble tests, salt mist conditions, and it’s built to operate in high and low extremes of temperature and to survive thermal shocks. Take it with you anywhere and everywhere. It’s built tough to help you thrive in challenging outdoor work situations and extreme leisure pursuits alike.

Rugged to its core, the Cat S42’s super bright 5.5″ HD+ 18×9 display is protected by scratch resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 and can be read in bright sunlight, with a touch screen that can be controlled with wet fingers or when wearing gloves.
