Roughly two months after introducing its S62 Pro, Bullitt Group announces its newest device, the S62 for T-Mobile. Designed as the “ultimate work phone”, it’s the sort of handset you would see on construction job sites or in the pocket of a utility worker.
The S62, much like others in the Cat portfolio, is built to withstand just about anything thrown at it. The S62 exceeds US military standard MIL-SPEC 810H which means it has passed extreme temperatures, thermal shocks, salt mist conditions, vibration and tumble tests.
The Cat S62 stands up to sand, dirt, dust, and water and can even withstand drops up to six feet onto steel.
The 5.7-inch display is protected by Gorilla Glass 6 and will work with wet fingers or even gloves. Moreover, it’s super-bright and optimized for outdoor visibility.
The Cat S62 ships with Android 10 but it an update to Android 11 is expected later this year. Business customers will be interested to learn the phone has Android Enterprise support.
Although the Cat S62 is one of the most rugged devices available, that doesn’t mean you’ll lose other important hardware. Also present are a fingerprint sensor, a programmable side button with PTT, Qi wireless charging, and Quick Charge 4.0.
In terms of specs, the handset comes with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage as well as a dual-camera (48-megapixel and 2-megapixel) rear system and 8-megapixel front-facing camera.
