hey everyone this is Jessica Belfort from cement here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona where I'm taking a look at the cats b15 this is an android 4.1 jellybean smartphone it's extremely durable and yes it is made by the same people who create forklifts and mining equipment this phone is rugged it's made of aluminium and rubber kind of encasing it even the buttons on the side er rubber not plastic key at all there's a lot of grip here there are these grooves signs so that even if you're wearing gloves or if your fingers are slippery with water you can still kind of grasp on to it same go for these edges they're thick you can really hold it and that's what it's there for these buttons are bright all around it you can see it if it's dark you can see them if they're kind of covered in dust or mud or some sort of muck there are screws that help reinforce all of the openings keep this phone as close as tight as possible keep the internals protected from the elements you can see that there are also some flaps they're rubberized reinforced on the sides and on the top that's for the same purpose to keep these feels as tight as possible and keep unwanted materials out it is fairly comfortable to hold in the hand much more comfortable than you would expect of course if you have kind of an outdoorsy job or you might be wearing gloves then you won't be feeling the sides but even in your bare hands it is not uncomfortable in the slightest the phone is actually pretty durable I have been knocking it around here at the booth and in addition to that it is rated for military specification ip67 that makes it dust proof and it also rates it for water resistance and that is up to one meter and water for up to minutes it's also reinforced with gorilla glass so that helps keep the screen a little stronger you see that product in tons of other tablets laptops and other smartphones as well the phone is also drop resistant rated to a height of 1.8 meters that's about as tall as this damn now a lot of rugged smartphones are actually not that smart this one's kind of remarkable because cat isn't even an Android maker usually and this is one of the most current versions of jellybean it's got a four inch LCD screen on here sensitive to touch one thing that they are really highlighting is how sensitive it is even if your fingers are wet so we're going to wet this phone a little bit even when wet the phone screen still responds as for the other specs so you've got a five megapixel camera on here no flash but five megapixels is still pretty good for this type of phone it does take 720p HD video as well there is also a front-facing VGA camera so you can still do all your video chats inside there's a one gigahertz dual-core mediatek processor to keep the show going the cat feed 15 is a 3G phone only no LTE on this guy it will cost 329 euros will appear first in Germany on March 15th followed shortly by the rest of Europe the Middle East and hopefully soon by America I'm Jessica dual-core for CNN this is the cat Dean Ambrose smartphone and it is very rugged
