CAT's ultra-durable Android phones are $30-250 off right now at B&H Photo


Caterpillar Inc (better known as 'CAT') makes tractors, excavators, trucks, engines, and... smartphones. Actually, the phones are manufactured by Bullitt Group, but they retain the company's focus on durability. If you want a phone that can survive a six-foot drop onto concrete with no damage, the entire lineup of CAT phones is on sale at B&H Photo.
The cheapest model on sale is the S31, at $279.99 ($30 off). It has bottom-of-the-barrel specifications, including a Snapdragon 210 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and a 4.7-inch 720p screen. The phone appears to be stuck on Android 7.0 Nougat, but on the plus side, it's IP68 water/dust resistant and can survive a 6-foot drop onto concrete with no damage to the display.
Next is the S41, which is currently discounted to $399.99 ($250 off). It has the hardware of a typical mid-range phone, with a Mediatek Helio P20 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and a 5-inch 1080p IPS display. This phone is also stuck on Nougat, but again, you can drop it on concrete.
Finally, the S61 is on sale for $799.99 ($200 off). It has a Snapdragon 630 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a 5.2-inch 1080p IPS LCD screen, and Android 8.0 Oreo. Not only is the S61 durable, but it also has a FLIR thermal camera on the back — just like the S60 we reviewed in 2016.

All of CAT's smartphones are unlocked for use on GSM carriers, but they won't work on CDMA networks like Verizon and Sprint.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
