Reviews for the CAT S75

Cat S75
Source: GSM Choice
CAT S75 is a smartphone for people who need a durable device with an additional satellite communication function. This is not a phone for photography or gaming enthusiasts. Its main advantage is damage resistance and a unique communication function. If you're looking for a phone that can withstand harsh conditions and allow you to stay connected under any circumstances, the CAT S75 may be right for you.

79% Cat S75 – Review

The CAT S75 in my mind ticks all of these boxes and then it adds the extras that will really appeal to outdoor users as well with the enhanced tracking functions and offline SMS services. however with the see all requiring extra costs, I think the amount of users that will be buying the phone specifically for those functions is somewhat niche. Now to be fair this is not the first ruggedised phone we have seen but it is one of the better-specified ones and the fact that the software is relatively unencumbered is a nice bonus. The only other widely available ruggedised phone I was able to find while doing this review in person was a Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro which is actually no longer available but it has much weaker specs and is a much older model.

The critical takeaways from the S75 are that it is very robust, does have sufficient performance to deliver a decent user experience and, most important of all, the Bullitt Satellite Messaging solution works as advertised. Considering you need to be outdoors to position the phone for satellite comms, having a screen that worked better in bright sunlight might have made it even better, but workarounds can be found. The specification of the phone isn’t amazing, but it’s more than most users will need unless they’re using a graphically intensive app or gaming. However, the one silly mistake is that you can’t use a MicroSD in this phone alongside a conventional SIM and the one needed to make Bullitt work. If ever a phone needed an e-SIM capability, it was this one.

The Cat S75 targets a specialised niche. Not everyone is going to require a phone that’s sealed and hardened to this degree, and its performance isn’t as good as cheaper phones from other manufacturers. The phone seems aimed at those who intend to get really lost and away from the beaten track in the wilds of Europe. Once the satellite service is widened to include more of the world, then it may become more useful for travellers, scientists, journalists or anyone else popping into the jungle away from phone coverage. Without the satellite messaging system it’s a mid-range phone that’s let down by having 6GB of RAM instead of 8, and by a GPU that seems a step down from the usual one found in Dimensity 900 phones. The tough exterior and waterproofing is nice to have, but they’re not enough to buy this phone over others if you’re looking for something to use all the time.

CAT S75 by Bullitt – Unboxing
Source: Cool Smartphone
If you are interested in picking up a tough phone from CAT or more specifically the CAT s75 then you can do so from the CAT phones store now for £549. If however, you prefer your phones with Motorola branding then you can also pick this phone up as the Motorola Mobility made Defy 2 although I think this is limited to America’s at this time. As a small treat here is a link to the app satellite messaging app working as it should, not as I tried to demo unsuccessfully in the video above!!

80% CAT S75 Rugged Phone review
Source: Techradar
CAT-branded phones aren’t a new thing. We previously covered lots of these Catapillar branded handsets, most recently the excellent S62 Pro. The S75 is a significant step up from the S62 Pro, having a bigger screen, better cameras, a larger battery and a much more powerful SoC. However, it still comes with the same 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage as its predecessor, which seems less than modern rugged designs now typically come.

80% Cat S75 review: the best rugged phone you can get
Source: T3
There's no getting around the fact that the Cat S75 is a bit of a beast. It's hardwearing, robust, and ready to handle just about anything you can throw at it. If you live the kind of life that could also use those adjectives, this is probably a great option for you. If not, though, it might be a tougher sell. The Cat S75 isn't a bad phone, but there are certainly options out there with a more conventionally appealing spec sheet for similar money. With that being said, I still think it's worth consideration. The Satellite Messaging functionality alone is worth the cost of entry, and gives it an edge that nothing else has.

Cat S75 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News
The Cat S75 smartphone comes in collaboration with the Bullitt group, and they have monthly and yearly plans to use two ways satellite communication features. You can download the official app to easily run those satellite messenger services. Though, the cost will depend on the carrier. For now, the Cat S75 is one of those rugged phones that comes with a slim and sturdy body with incredible features. Although those services are rolling out in North America and Europe, the company is expanding its services to other regions in the upcoming months. However, if you want a traditional rugged phone, you can check out Motorola Defy 2 as an alternative option.

Comment

Imagination IMG BXM-8-256: Single core variant of the IMG BXM-8-256. Uses tile based deferred rendering and according to Imagination is about 30% more power efficient than the previous generation.

Dimensity 930: The Dimensity 930 is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes two fast ARM Cortex-A78 cores at up to 2.2 GHz and six power efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz. Compared to the Dimensity 920, the 930 has a slower clocked CPU, but a faster GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

6.58":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

CAT:

CAT, which can be easier found under CAT Phones in the web, gets seldom reviewed, does hardly have any market shares and achieves average ratings (as of 2016).

76.9%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
