Editorial report
Cat B40 technical sheet
The Cat B40 is for people who want a basic, rugged phone and put resistance to impacts and drops ahead of a detailed display, high-resolution camera, or large battery. It resists water and dust (IP69), as well as impacts and drops from up to 1.8 m (MIL-STD-810H). At 157 g, it is among the lightest phones of its time; its 18 mm thickness, by contrast, is among the greatest.
The 2.4-inch TFT LCD display has a pixel density of 167 ppi, among the lowest of its time. The camera is 2 MP, also among the lowest resolutions. Hardware includes 128 MB of RAM and up to 64 MB of storage, small amounts compared with other phones of its time; storage is expandable. Its removable 1800 mAh battery has a capacity among the lowest of its time.
For calls and basic tasks, it has GSM, HSPA and LTE, one Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its connectivity is nevertheless worse than that of most phones of its time. The Cat B40 is a straightforward choice for people who prioritize ruggedness and low weight, and can accept a low-density display, a 2 MP camera, limited memory and a low-capacity battery.
