Rugged smartphone maker Cat has just launched its latest smartphone in the market. Similar to previous Cat products, the new smartphone comes with the usual hardened case and reinforced internal components. It is also worth noting that rugged devices don’t come with the latest processor or design trends. You won’t find a Snapdragon 865-powered rugged smartphone with a bezel-less display. Instead, companies such as Cat focus on making devices that are durable and reliable in extreme conditions. As part of the launch, the company shared the specifications, pricing and availability details. As per a report, Cat S32 is likely to take the upcoming Samsung XCover rugged smartphone.

Talking about the Cat S32 specifications, the device comes with a 5.5-inch display along with an HD display. The device display also comes with an 18:9 aspect ratio and DragonTail Pro glass. The interesting thing to note here is that users can use the display while wearing gloves of even with wet hands. Digging further in the rugged aspect, Cat S32 also features IP68 water resistance along with MIL-SPEC 810G certification. The company also highlighted that the smartphone can survive a depth of 1.5 meters for up to 35 minutes.
