Editorial note

The CAT B100 is a rugged smartphone designed to withstand extreme usage conditions thanks to its IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -20 to 55 °C. With an impressive battery life of 10 hours of talk time and a standby time of up to 552 hours, this model is ideal for those who need a reliable device for prolonged use. However, the CAT B100 also has notable limitations. Its 2.2-inch screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels is relatively basic, which may disappoint users looking for a richer visual experience. Additionally, the lack of a touchscreen and front camera, as well as the limited internal memory of 50 MB, restrict usage possibilities, particularly for apps and selfies. In terms of connectivity, while Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and MicroSD card support are advantages, the absence of Wi-Fi and WAP functionality can complicate internet access. The ergonomic and lightweight design of the device, weighing only 136 g, makes it easy to carry, but it is worth noting that the mono speaker may offer inferior sound quality compared to other devices. In summary, the CAT B100 is a wise choice for users seeking a rugged phone with good battery life, but its limitations in performance and connectivity may not meet the expectations of modern users.
