The shock-resistant smartphone CAT S41 passed tests for durability, but with reservations

The well-known video blogger JerryRigEverything took on the test a protected smartphone CAT S41. The test results surprised everyone.

Test results

In most shockproof models, and CAT S41 is no exception, the screen is supplied with plastic glass. It is easier to bear blows, falling and other troubles, but it is easily peeled off and scratches much stronger than glass. This surface is scratched by a material with a hardness of 3 points on the Mohs scale. To compare the glasses of most flagships, they withstand scratches with objects by 6 points. The same super-scratch plastic closes the camera.

In addition, in the shells of protected smartphones, as a rule, there is no metal frame, so that when it falls nothing splits or breaks. The plastic-rubber apparatus simply bends in such cases and immediately returns to its original state. Therefore, in the test, when the blogger bends the smartphone's body with his hands, CAT S41 easily bends and yields to the strength of the hands, but then straightens. However, if you continue to press, then the body is deformed and pieces of rubber and plastic fall off from it.
