CAT B15 Review

Latin America     See other variants reviews Score: 47 / 100

CAT B15 is a not so powerful Android device, equipped with a medium 4-inches multi touch capacitive screen, a good performance Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1000 megahertz, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this device can give us.

Cat equipped the CAT B15 with a good performance Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1 GHz, bundled in the MediaTek MT6577 system chip with 512 MB of RAM. Graphic calculations often eats lots of processing time, so it also counts with a PowerVR SGX531 graphic processing unit speeding at 200 megahertz to take care of them, leaving the processor free for other tasks. This device has a 4 GB internal memory, a reasonable amount that should be enough for the average user considering it also has an external memory card slot .

Regarding its body design materials, this cellphone is made with Aluminium, which gives it a high quality feel and better resistance. Cat is offering this cellphone in black color. This phone is quite thick compared to current phones, with a thickness of 0.59". The CAT B15 feels a bit heavy for a device this size, weighting 6 oz.

This cellphone is equipped with a nice 4 inches screen with a 800 x 480 resolution, providing this cellphone with a good graphical experience. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera.

The CAT B15 counts with a 2000 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery providing the CAT B15 with a not very long battery duration. Cat afirms this phone has a talk time of 16 hs and a stand by time of 624 hours.

This cellphone provides WiFi capability (although it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a router) and 3G fast connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The CAT B15 supports dual sim cards to be able to to work with 2 different carriers or phone lines in the same cellphone.

This phone also includes some nice characteristics such as Bluetooth (3.0, EDR), GPS and FM Radio, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

Cat sells the CAT B15 for 249 dollars, which is not a really offer for this kind of cellphone.
