No bugs on the CAT S42

The UK-based Bullitt Group, makers of military-grade smartphones and the global licensee for CAT phones, has launched the first fully antimicrobial mobile phone - the CAT S42.

The entry-level Android smartphone with antimicrobial protection is designed for military use but is now also available to the public.

Every exterior component of the product including the screen made from Corning Gorilla Glass 5s has been treated with Addmaster Biomaster antimicrobial technology and tested to ISO 22196.

The technology inhibits the growth of microbes on the phone surface offering protection for the lifetime of the unit. Research shows that mobile phones harbor thousands of germs, with one University of Michigan study finding more than 17,000 bacteria on handsets.

According to research from Deloitte, on average humans interact with their mobile devices around 47 times daily. Bacteria or other microorganisms can easily transfer from the hard surfaces of your phone to your hands and face.
