Caterpillar CAT B15 offers Android 4 in all ruggedness

Caterpillar are well known for their heavy-duty machinery and monster appliances but when it comes to talking smartphone, it’s often something treated as fragile. This thought can be swept aside as easy as a mound of sawdust with the Caterpillar CAT B15. Named as one of thier mega machines, the phone, you guessed it right, is embodiment of solidness. It comes dressed in an aluminum and rubber casing that helps it survive 5.9-foot drop on to hard concrete and immersions as deep as 3.3 feet for half an hour. It can also brave weather variations till -4F to 122F. Specificationwise, it isn’t much of a reckoning with a 4-inch WVGA screen, a dual-core 1GHz Cortex A9 processor, 512MB RAM and a 5-megapixel camera.

Those seeking stronger phones would surely not expect a world of features to handle their wanderlust. At $437. you can be assured that you hold a monster phone of sorts. The CAT B15 from Caterpillar will ship in March.
