A smartphone "indestructible"

The Cat Phone B15 is a waterproof smartphone, drops and dust . The new company building construction and mining equipment, Caterpillar is almost "indestructible". Most phones created to withstand the punishment often reinforced by silicone protectors uncomfortable and functionality goes into the background. By contrast, the B15 is relatively thin and light . It has an Android 4.1 operating system, a touch screen of 4.1 inches and a 5 megapixel camera that records in HD. It is not intended to compete directly with the specifications of an iPhone 5 or a Samsung Galaxy S4, but it is a very decent phone. Can withstand up to a meter of water for 30 minutes and, unlike most smartphones,the screen works perfectly when wet . In addition, its layer of aluminum and rubber protector guard it from drops of up to two meters. Caterpillar tested this concept a year ago with his cell B10. But the device measured approximately one inch wide, and its design left much to be desired. To develop the B15, Caterpillar was associated with Bullit Group , a British company specializing in diversified markets. Released, available for $ 349 in the United States. The phone market is tough and durable giant. Only 21 million devices sold last year, said Caterpillar , which aims to take over this niche and lead the segment 2015.
