The Cat S42 waterproof smartphone, designed for reliability in extreme situations, is now available on the U.S. market at an MSRP of $329. Bullitt Group, global licensee that manufactures and markets Caterpillar-branded phones, says the S42 delivers long battery life, MIL SPEC rugged credentials and its 5.5-in. HD+ 18x9 display can be read in sunlight.
Like all Cat phones the S42 can be regularly and thoroughly cleaned by being submerged and scrubbed with hot soapy water or disinfectant, an essential hygiene detail for those who must keep working during the coronavirus pandemic.
Its super bright HD+ display is protected by scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 5, with a touch screen that can be controlled with wet fingers or when wearing gloves.
A programmable shortcut key is useful for Push to Talk (PTT), SOS (Lone worker app), or to easily launch the phone’s flashlight or camera
