Nevertheless experts of the company can name a few trends in the market, which are the products of Caterpillar.

Interface

Realizing that in performance this unit of competition will not be, the developers decided to bring to the limit of its convenience and simplicity. It is present not only in the ergonomics of the physical handling of the phone, but also controls its functions. So, the CAT B25 user gets a classic five-way joystick, which is enough for convenient control of the menu. On the screen this displays all the necessary data, including the status of SIM cards, time and names of operators with indicators of the battery. The menu contains 12 icons with podustali. In addition to the standard icons you can mark the Internet and multimedia. Still, from a utilitarian push-button models these functions are not so common. Also the model is rare for this class of phone app in the form ubojnoj “reader” e-books.

Camera and entertainment

The Model is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera and a whole set of different programs. Immediately I must say that the developers responsible attitude to the choice of applications, focusing noton quantity but on practical use. As for the camera, it does not particularly surprise.

Reviews on phone

The Model is expected to have positive responses about its design, the quality of the housing and the outer ergonomics. As noted by the owners, the device is comfortable, practical and visually appealing. He has a loud speaker, though the microphone, protected by a coating of the protective layer, distorts it. As for other shortcomings, they mostly belong to the last detail. For example, users have noted small print CAT B25. Reviews about the battery quite controversial. The machine keeps the active state longer than smartphones, however, compared to its competitors in the class that loses in this index.

Conclusion

The Model as a whole makes a good impression. Partly it is due to its original appearance. Despite the brutality and severity, the CAT B25 phone looks quite nice. Supported by a pleasant sensation of physical contact. As noted by the owners, to hold this device in hand-a pleasure. Impressions change with familiarity with the inner stuffing, but not much. Modern apps, powerful operating system and a 5-pixel camera in this device. But there is a convenient menu, many useful options and a basic set of tools for communication.
