CAT B15 Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 47 / 100

CAT B15 is a decently made phone, packing a great performance Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1 GHz, a medium 4" multi-touch screen, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

Cat decided to equip this phone using a MediaTek MT6577 system chip, backed up by a powerful Dual-Core processor ticking at 1 gigahertz with 512 MB RAM memory. Collaborating with graphic intensive tasks, this phone also has a PowerVR SGX531 graphic processing unit working at 200 megahertz. This phone has a 4 GB internal memory, a fair amount that should be enough for most users considering this phone also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store photographs and videos.

The CAT B15 is a bit thick for nowadays standards, being as thick as 0.59". Cat didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 6 ounces phone. Regarding its design, this phone is majorly made of Aluminium, giving it a premium look. This phone is available only in color black.

Cat packed the CAT B15 with a good level 4-inches screen, and a 800 x 480 resolution, making everything look beautiful. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

The CAT B15 has two cameras, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 0.3 megapixels front side camera.

This cellphone features a 2000 mAh medium Li-Ion removable battery, which is not really enough for a thirsty device like this. Cat afirms this device has a 16 hours talk time and a 624 hs stand by time.

This phone offers wi-fi capability (but it can't be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone has dual SIM so it can to work with 2 different phone numbers and even different carriers at the same time.

The CAT B15 also includes a few interesting features as Bluetooth (3.0, EDR), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

Cat is offering this cellphone for $ 249, which is not a really offer for a cellphone this level.
