Cat S42 Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Powering the Cat S42 is the Mediatek MT6761D Helio A20 chipset featuring a quad-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 processor, paired with 3GB of RAM. This combination places the phone modestly in terms of performance, which is suitable for essential applications and daily use. However, it may struggle with more demanding apps or multitasking. The phone ships with Android 10, with a planned upgrade to Android 11, offering a fairly up-to-date interface that benefits from Google's software innovations and security updates. The 32GB of internal storage is modest but can be supplemented with a microSDXC card thanks to its dedicated slot, ensuring adequate space for essential data and applications.
