As a phone, this is a great device. The build quality is outstanding. The battery life is exceptional (I simply don't worry about it. I'll glance at the battery level indicator once or twice a week and say to myself "I guess I ought to plug it in, it's getting a little low", but 'low' on this phone means you've still got a few days left whereas on my wife's iPhone it means you've got an hour). Call quality is very good. Some folks griped about the physical size of the phone. When I ordered it I was expecting a big hulking brick. No - this is really no larger than any other 5" phone encased in an Otterbox case. The S41 fits nicely into my shirt pocket. Let's talk about cases. On every other phone I've bought the first thing I do is buy an Otterbox Defender case for it. This is the first smartphone I've purchased where I didn't feel the need to buy a case. The body of the phone is rugged enough.
Now for the flaw. The camera is lousy. Period. CAT made a huge mistake when they picked this camera for the phone. They should have spend an extra $10 (per unit) and incorporated a better camera. Color balance is way off, and the phone has a lot of problems dealing with high contrast situations, with the bright areas washing out. This is really sad, because the S41 is an otherwise excellent phone.
At the end of the day is the S41 worth the current Amazon price? I say yes. This is a phone that I've grown to really like, and because of this experience I'm probably going to look at CAT again when it comes time to upgrade. Hopefully by then they will have integrated better cameras into their mid-range phones.
However, a week ago it started missing message sends (they wouldn't send). Then 2 days ago it started randomly shutting off. I finally figured out by looking at the display that it was reading a dead battery (the battery level dropped to 0% then phone dies). I plugged it in and it shows 0% battery for 10 seconds then 100% battery. I booted into the Fastboot screen and it stays on for hours, suggesting there was some kind of push through "upgrade" or something that now makes the phone believe it has 0 battery. I have not installed any apps during this time, hence my belief it is something with the phone's operating system.
Fortunately, Amazon, after arguing with them that my invoice clearly states "2 year warranty," offered to refund. I'll try another "indestructable" phone from another vendor now.

went swimming once intentionally only at surface to take pictures and camera lens is now foggy display has a patch of pixels approx. 1 sq inch that are a different shade
operating system is quite slow and glitchy for a $550 phone
phone now is stuck on a reboot screen
this phone is supposed to be tough I had an uncased Samsung galaxy s6 before this that still works fine after 3.5 years. in fact I am using it while this pos tough phone goes in for warranty work
positives cat seems to be good about warranty
battery life is awesome a solid two days of heavy use
would I purchase another cat phone or recommend to anyone nope!!
The physical build looks and feels solid and looks like it could take a beating but without the software issues corrected it is basically just an unreliable device.
I do not recommend.
In short, the phone battery started to go for crap in only 4-5 months. Operating system is not good, probably one of the worst I have had. The phone itself is tough and very durable, the best of the phones i have had. Warranty for me was not worth anything as i essentially threw 500 dollars away after using for 5-6 months.
This time thought I would try something a little tougher and that isn't the right description for this phone, its a LOT tougher, I am very happy with the quality of this phone, hopefully it will last him a year or 2. only down side is the shared apple family plan isn't usable. I would recommend this.
