CAT's S52 is pretty yet still rugged, arrives in Europe in November

29 October 2019
The S52 looks nothing like Cat's usual utilitarian phones.

        Nice design, but sadly not so rugged as S41/S61. Battery is also too weak.

            You can get this. Or you can get another flagship with fragile glass, and wrap it in an Armoured Case. I think I'd prefer the latter.

            I think the older CAT S61 is the better phone though, the Sonim XP8 and Kyocera DuraFone Pro 2 are decent too.

              I had the same news yesterday in local sites where they had price for it 499 euro.

                This is very attractive design compared to the old models.

I knew a guy with an older CAT and he was angry he couldn't get even a half-decent photo from it even with alternative apps, they were all greenish and badly processed. I guess they finally stepped up their game.

If you are a chinese vendor you dump your stuff on the web, sell it and and walk away, where would you buy?
