DISPLAY CAT S30
Display Type LCD display
Display Technology IPS
Screen Size (Display Size) 4.5" Worse than 59 % of phones rated.
Screen Resolution (Display Resolution) 854 x 480 pixels Worse than 52 % of phones rated.
Display Protection (Screen Protector) Corning Gorilla Glass 3 (scratch resistant glass)

The screen size reaches 4.5" inches. Smaller phone displays are not necessarily a disadvantage. They are easier to use with one hand. However, displays of these sizes don't provide the same experience when watching videos or playing games, so they're better suited for less demanding users. It means, if you're a basic user and you don't expect to use your phone for activities like watching videos or playing games on regular basis, this size is perfectly adequate. LCD displays are currently taking a back seat. This is mainly due to higher power consumption. In addition, they have the disadvantage of lower colour contrast, which can be reflected e.g. in the resulting photos. On the other hand, phones with LCD displays are in general cheaper than those with OLED technology.

Display Resolution of CAT S30 is 854 x 480 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px.

PROCESSOR CAT S30
Processor Type (CPU) Qualcomm Snapdragon 210
Processor Number MSM8909
Clock Speed 1.1 GHz Worse than 78 % of phones rated.
Processor Core Qty Quad-core Worse than 57 % of phones rated.

The processor type of the CAT S30 is Qualcomm Snapdragon 210. The number of processor cores is 4. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications. CAT S30 is provided with processor´s frequency of 1.1 GHz. Normally today you will find this value between 1.8 and 2.8 GHz, and the higher the number, the faster the response of the phone. The processor frequency will thus be one of the important parameters if you are looking for a phone capable of managing several requests at once without major problems.

MEMORY CAT S30
RAM 1 GB Worse than 61 % of phones rated.
Internal Memory Size (Storage Capacity) 8 GB Worse than 72 % of phones rated.
Supported Flash Memory Cards (Expandable Memory) microSDHC, microSDXC - up to 64 GB

The phone is provided with an internal memory of 8 GB. Internal storage capacity is often a key parameter, as it determines how many files, photos, apps and more your phone can store. This memory capacity is ideal for those who have a few basic apps and a few dozen photos on their phone. If you don't expect to use your phone to play games or need to store high-resolution photos, this size should be sufficient. There is almost no probability you're likely to see this low capacity on new smartphones. The standard memory today is around 64 and 128 GB. The best phones have internal memory of 256 GB or more. Fortunately, manufacturers nowadays think of all users and therefore offer phone models with different memory sizes so that everyone can choose what suits them.

In addition, if you need more memory, this model offers the option of inserting a memory card to increase the storage size.

Operating memory significantly affects the performance of the entire phone. CAT S30 has an operating memory of 1 GB. Phones with less than 4 GB of RAM are better suited for undemanding users who use phone more for basic needs and some essential applications only. But if you are a heavy user, reach for at least 6 to 8 GB of RAM, which is the standard today, or 12 GB for the really demanding ones.

CAMERA CAT S30
MAIN CAMERA
Number of Main Cameras 1
Sensor Resolution 5 Megapixel Worse than 60 % of phones rated.
Focus Adjustment Automatic
Light Source LED light
Video Resolutions 1920 x 1080 (1080p)
FRONT CAMERA
Number of Front Cameras 1
Sensor Resolution (Front) 2 Megapixel Worse than 81 % of phones rated.

The rear camera of the CAT S30 has only one lens. Single lens is more typical for older phones or lower-end phones with lower quality cameras. The rear cameras of modern phones nowadays are usually equipped with two, three and sometimes even five rear camera lenses. A high resolution lens alone does not necessarily mean high quality photos. The main lens in this has a resolution of 5 Megapixel. However, if you are looking for perfect photos, in addition to resolution, don't forget to focus on at other parameters such as lens aperture or pixel size.

Front camera
The front camera of phone CAT S30 has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The resolution of main lens reaches 2 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is not the only factor affecting the quality of the front camera photo.

BATTERY AND CHARGING CAT S30
Battery Capacity (Battery Size) 3000 mAh Better than 69 % of phones rated.
Standby Time 936 hours Better than 98 % of phones rated.
Talk Time 1080 minutes Better than 75 % of phones rated.
Run Time Details Talk: up to 1080 min
Standby: up to 936 hrs
Battery Technology Lithium Ion

The battery size of CAT S30 is 3000 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day.

Standby time is 936 hours. The value indicates how long your phone will last on a single charge when you are not actively using it. The battery life when making calls is, like standby time, a figure that tells us how long the phone will last on a single charge when making continuous calls. For the CAT S30 it is 1080 minutes.
