Comparisons Featuring Cat B15
Short Review
- The Cat B15 features a rugged design with dimensions of 125 x 69.5 x 15 mm and a weight of 170g, making it durable for tough environments.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, offering a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6577 chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and 4GB of RAM, suitable for light usage but limited for multitasking.
- The 5 MP rear camera captures decent images and can record video at 1080p@30fps, while the absence of a front camera restricts selfie capabilities.
- The 2000 mAh battery provides basic endurance but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is quite dated, lacking modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is designed without stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Cat B15 is built for durability with essential features, but it falls short in performance and software updates.
