Editorial report
Cat S52 4 GB / 64 GB / Global technical sheet
The Cat S52 suits buyers looking for a rugged phone who can accept less battery capacity and slower charging than most phones of its time. Its battery holds 3,100 mAh and charging is rated at 10 W; both figures are below those of most phones launched around the same time.
IP68 protects it against water and dust, while the phone withstands knocks and drops from up to 1.5 m. The IPS LCD display measures 5.65 inches, and its 285 ppi density is below average for its time. This configuration combines 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, expandable with a card.
Performance is below average among phones launched around the same time, and its AnTuTu result of 117,985 is lower than that of most. The rear camera uses a 1/2.55″ sensor, smaller than those in most phones of its time, and has no optical image stabilization. Connectivity is better than on most phones launched around the same time: NFC is included, and the phone supports either one or two Nano-SIM cards.
Its overall NeoScore is 3.6. The Cat S52 makes most sense for someone who puts protection from water, dust, knocks and drops ahead of battery capacity, charging speed and performance. The display density and camera sensor size are further compromises, so this is a focused choice rather than a balanced all-round phone.
