Editorial report
Cat S42 H Plus technical sheet
The Cat S42 H Plus is for buyers who put a rugged phone first; the trade-off is a screen that covers a small share of the front and a heavy, thick body. IP69 protection, drop resistance up to 1.8 m and MIL-STD-810H define its rugged credentials.
Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display has Gorilla Glass 5, but the 62.7% screen-to-body ratio is among the weakest of phones of its time. At 220 g and 12.7 mm thick, it is also heavier and thicker than most. The MediaTek Helio A22, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage fall below most phones of its time; its AnTuTu score of 50,300 is among the weakest. Storage is expandable.
The rear camera resolution is 13 MP, lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its 4,200 mAh battery capacity is also lower than most. Connectivity includes 4G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo, plus dual Nano-SIM and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It runs Android 10. The overall NeoScore of 3.6 points to a clear fit: this phone suits buyers who value physical protection above the screen, performance, camera and battery.
