According to our mobile phone expert
The CAT S52 64GB Black is a robust and compact smartphone that can take a beating. The device meets military standards and is waterproof and dustproof, thanks to the sturdy casing. It won't matter if it rains or you accidentally drop your phone on a concrete floor from 1.5 meters. Despite all that, the device has a slim design and easily fits in your pocket. Do you wear gloves during work? No problem. The scratch-resistant screen of the CAT S52 also reacts to touch if you're wearing gloves. With 64GB of storage, you'll have enough space for your apps and photos. Do you need more space? You can expand the memory up to 128GB with an SD card.

The CAT S52: Finally a rugged smartphone that can keep up with the times and looks like a normal smartphone! After three years with a cat s60, I was looking for a worthy successor.
At first sight, all the qualities that CAT has are incorporated in this smartphone; I suspect that the smartphone will also last a long time. The rubbery back ensures that it is stable in the hand, which is important, because many "falls" are caused (in my case) by the smartphone sliding out of hand. It also ensures that it remains stable.
All connections and buttons are in good locations, the fingerprint sensor is very handy.
The camera is quite ok, and is the best for its segment. (the Chinese rugged phones that promise 48+MP have been excluded).
So far I am also happy with the battery. Even with intensive use, it will last a long time. But of course what the manufacturer writes should be taken with a grain of salt: Let's say that you can continue for a few days with normal use, and I am convinced that with normal standby you can probably continue for a good week!
in short, this is a very suitable device for anyone who wants a rugged smartphone!

The CAT S52 mainly stands out because of its different look. I had an S40 and it was a robust, sturdy cell phone and you could tell by looking at it, thick, rubber reinforcements, etc. This CAT S52 looks like a normal modern large cell phone. Will it also be as sturdy as the S40 I don't know yet. I find it strange that the input for charging is not protected. So is it waterproof? The future will tell, but I do find myself being more careful with it. Furthermore, it is a bit of a search for all apps that are not standard on the home screen, you have to slide up twice on the dash. For the rest fine cell phone, handy with fingerprint.
