Caterpillar makes heavy industrial movers, tractors, trucks that are known for their robust attributions, but did you know the company has also lent its brand name to other line of products that spell tough and durability under the Cat name. There the Cat boots, there are Cat watches and there is also Cat smartphone. Surprised? So what do you expect from the Cat branded phone…gotta be the ruggedness…yes? The company which makes the smartphone is UK based consumer electronic firm Bullitt, that designs manufactures and markets devices with partnership of global brands.
