Cat S40 Dual SIM

The Cat S40 Dual SIM is not only a 'regular' Android phone, it's also virtually indestructible. That seems to be an incompatible combination, yet the Cat seems to have succeeded.

Made to be outdoors

The S40 Dual SIM is dust, drop and water resistant and scratch resistant. And yet Cat wants us to touch it. That's because of the presence of a large 4.7-inch touchscreen. Cat has chosen an IPS panel known for its excellent viewing angles. The screen is extra bright for better reading outdoors. The Cat S40 Dual SIM is surrounded by a rugged housing that is also IP68 certified. This prevents dust particles from crawling into the housing and water from affecting its normal operation. This makes the Cat S40 Dual SIM ideal for outdoors.

Water, dust and fall resistant

The Cat S40 Dual SIM has an appearance that looks rugged at its softest. In addition to dust and water resistance, its housing also offers protection against falls. Cat has it approved to a maximum height of 1.8 metres. If you drop it from that height on hard concrete, it will easily survive. It won't just burst open. Somewhere that's a shame because we would have had a look inside. There we find a solid battery with a specified talk time of 18 hours. If you put it on flightmode, you can even go 39 days ahead with a full battery.

Modern functions

Despite its solid construction, the Cat S40 Dual SIM is just another modern-day smartphone. It supports 4G for fast internet on the go and communicates with GPS satellites to determine your location. The device uses Android 5.1 so you can download numerous apps, both free and paid. The device is also capable of inserting two SIM cards. So you can be reached at two numbers, but it is also possible to surf the internet via one SIM card and make calls via the other.
