CAT smartphones are rugged and tough to sustain abusive environments and famous among people who specially work in an environment where the phone can get into contact with water (sea side fisherman), dust, grass (farming), vibrations (carpenter). The famous S series from Caterpillar Smartphone (CAT) includes CAT S30, CAT S31, CAT S40, CAT S41, CAT S60, CAT S61 (with finger glove), CAT T20 (tablet) models.
