![]() ![]() A rating of 67 (6 covering liquids) means protection from immersion in water of up to roughly three feet (1 meter), for one minute, and complete protection from dust particles (the 7). The IP standard (standing for 'ingress protection') actually includes two different standards – the first digit in IP67 stands for liquid immersion and the second covers dust particles. The CAT B15 adheres to two different specifications: IP67 and MIL-STD-810G. Ruggedized smartphones, like other ruggedized tech, adhere to at least one international standard for ruggedization. ![]() But does the CAT B15's toughness and midrange chipset warrant a purchase?įirst, let us explain how ruggedized tech is classified. Most consumers, including those laboring in inhospitable environments, don't require high-end specs. With high-end, ruggedized smartphones costing between $450 for something like a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and $5000 for TAG Heuer's RACER SUB NANO, a $350 durable smartphone fulfills a unique niche (the only other rugged phone for the same money is the excellent, but Sprint-only, Kyocera Torque).
