Meet CAT S41 Rugged Smartphone, Water, Scratch, Dust Resistance

CAT S41 is not a Caterpillar but a smartphone that comes with Rugged body build, water resistance, dust resistance, drop/ vibration proofing, salt and radiation resistance as well as military grade protection as it has IP68 certification.

The CAT S41 will succeed Cat S31 previously launched by the company but this latest addition comes with Mind-blowing features which also includes ability to act as a power bank to charge other phones.

In fact, by mere looking at the phone, you will notice it's device meant to stand the test of time and situations. The phone can survive rain ☔ fall, can be inserted deep inside water, can be used while using electrical devices, can be used in dusty environments without dust entering inside it. In fact, this phone is for those that their work demands dirty, slippery, oily and moist/damped areas.

Apart from its Rugged features, the phone didn't disappoint in other aspects specwise because it runs on Android 7.0 Nougat, supports dual SIM with 4G LTE, has 3GB RAM, 32GB expandable storage, 5000mAh large battery etc but there is no fingerprint scanner.

Yes am sure you may be wondering how much it will cost to buy this Rugged Cat S41 smartphone, well, the phone will cost you around N155,000 in Nigeria while the official global price is £450. Though am not sure if it will be available in some of the online shops in Nigeria like Jumia, Konga and SlotNg. Similarly, am not sure if it will be on AliExpress but hopefully, one can order it from Amazon and other top accredited international smartphone stores. See the complete specs below.
