Cat S52 - user opinions and reviews

Well ever other knob head and bimbo is desperate for an iPhone I just wanted something mid tier that didn't break, hence the s52.
So far it's kind of big and bulky but I have to say the battery life is incredible. The camera is good. Touch responsiveness is really good. Seems to be ok with rough and tumble.
However had the thing barely a week and there is already a nasty dint right IN the MIDDLE of the screen.
I have even thrown a tantrum and smashed into the ground as hard as I can yet.
It's also annoying litterally everything seems to be hooked into Google. I'm kind of creeped out Google probably has access to my private photos and notes.

If you want a reliable rugged smartphone, never buy this crap. I mean it, seriously.
1) This phone is NOT water resistant. Touchscreen is very difficult to operate in wet conditions. And if you drop it in to the water, it will start to live its own life unless all the slots are completely dry.
2) Hardware is also a piece of shit. Even under a little pressure you can easy bend a phone casing like a banana, it feels like it is made of plastic, not aluminium.
3) Also some software issues.
My verdict - CAT S52 is an overpriced budget phone,that pretend to be rugged, but actually is a cheap , low reliability crap.

Just got this S52 and it's class - like a rugged version of an . Unlike some of their more exuberant phones, CAT/Bullitt have gone for a professional looking and feeling device where everything just works well, and in the first week I've used all the features and had no glitches or issues. The android experience is smooth as butter with a haptic motor and loudspeaker that will make the room shake! Features like the notification LED, night light and FM radio are touches of charm and class and bring more to the experience for me than an extra camera lens or fancy notched screen ever would. The hotspot seems powerful enough, the battery lasts well because of the 11nm processor and 720p display - I can't notice any blurriness. There is minimal battery drain when the phone is idle and it charges quickly. It's just a relief to have a phone that feels modern, reliable and like it won't break. They've done an amazing job with design, it's reassuringly chunky but is really beautiful with its curved metal edges and flush transitions - the photos don't do it justice. I personally prefer a top mounted headphone jack so I can hold my phone while I'm listening to music. It's good how the buttons are all on the right side so you can prop the phone on its other edge when using the cameras. I didn't expect to like a rear fingerprint sensor but that gives the finger somewhere to rest, and reduces the risk of dropping the phone even more. They've future proofed the hardware with Gorilla Glass 6 and 4GB RAM too. I hope the device holds up over time and I haven't jinxed this with such a positive review, but first impressions are really good and they do offer a decent warranty. I think they've prioritised all the right things to bring a quality rugged device at a reasonable price and I can't recommend this enough.

Don‘t trust the videos! The Cat S52 does not take water easily.
I took my Cat S52 to the pool to take photos. I had wet hands, and water got splashed on it once (so immersed in water for maybe 1 second), but I of course held the phone above the water. I believed the description that the phone „can handle immersion in water to 1.5m depth for up to 35 minutes“ so I thought it would be fine to be in humid environment. Well the loudspeaker on the phone stopped functioning and didn‘t work for 12 hours. I couldn‘t make phonecalls (and of course not play music and such) because I couldn‘t hear the person on the other end. When I said to the seller (that specializes in rugged phones, and sold the phone personally to me) that this phone was faulty and I wanted a new one he said that this was normal, I should open the sim slot and let it dry well out, and then stay away from water. That nobody would replace the phone because of this. When I said „But what about it laying in the mud in the videos“ he bluntly said „It‘s salesmanship“.

Hello,
It is only me having an issue with the LED notifying about the missed call? When I get a message, it is flashing blue, but it does not indicate the missed call.
Thanks.
