Another rugged monster has gone on sale in the UK, with manual labourer lifestyle brand Caterpillar launching its CAT B15 ruggedised smartphone. It’s powered by Android 4.1, running atop a 1GHz dual-core MediaTek chipset, with a 4″ 480×800 resolution display and “wet finger tracking” for use while immersed in unspecified and potentially hazardous fluids.
It’s pretty well featured for one of these extreme things, also offering dual cameras (5MP and VGA), SD card support, Gorilla glass and some very chunky external case protection…
