The Cat S53 is the first Cat Phone with 5G, packed with incredibly useful features and MIL SPEC 810H tested ruggedness.

The rugged 5G Cat S53 is equipped with the latest smartphone technology and is still extremely robust. This is a phone you can drop without worry, it can withstand any form of dirt and it can be left out in the rain without hesitation. One moment you're streaming high-quality videos on the large, clear display, and the next you're throwing it in your pocket or simply in the toolbox.
