I'm thinking about buying one since all I need my phone for is calling, texting, social media, music. I don't even take photos often. I just need a phone that's good build quality and has good battery life.
I have this phone myself and can give a honest account about it. I Love this phones durability and rugged feel about it. It makes me feel comfortable that this phone will last me a good while. Internet on is quick, as well as having multiple open applications and barely lags. I do have some issues with it are unfortunately. the camera on the s48c is very disappointing and a letdown. It says it is a 13 mega pixel camera but the shots definitely don't produce like it. Even in good lighting, i had to download a few apps to make other shots decent. I understand that this is a midrange and not a flagship phone. I truly do understand that, but if they are going to give a upgrade to pie, I do hope apart of that patchwork is to give better clarity to the camera. It is a letdown when wanting to take pictures. Some of The bloatware is not needed also. If you are a person who likes to download, get yourself a memory card, also, a patch to receive MMS while on the phone. Other than that, I have no more complaints. that's for sure. Overall I am satisfied with the durability, sound quality of the calls and the long battery life. Even when I'm using it very heavily, it has lasted me a full day.
Accidently stepped on my Duraforce Pro 2 and cracked my screen right through my screen protector. WTF! CANT SEEM TO FIND ANYONE THAT CAN GET THE SCREEN PARTS TO REPLACE IT SO I HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER PHONE. Hope the Cat does a better job.
I have a big big question for you why do you think my flash n flashlight stopped working? it was working fine and all of a sudden it don't work no more I tried everything but won't turn on it just flash one time but not like a regular picture flash way way shorter of a flash won't even capture it in a picture.
Just had one sent to me as a replacement phone. I heard that the volume, particularly in call, was hard to hear/weak; Is that true? It is replacing Kyocera Duraforce Pro and I have been told this is supposed to be better, what is your opinion?
I had my s48c for about 5 months and I just keep washing it every day after work. I was thinking wasn't a problem put it under the water (since it's "waterproof ") but no. It start acting up and now I have no phone thanks to the bad quality it has. Last time I get a CAT product.
@@mycellcom Thanks for your support I will dial 611. My phone only last 5 minutes on a d keep resetting by itself. I will try to contact CAT later. Thanks.
This is the only review I could find that actually demonstrates the underwater video quality, thanks for the great overview!
