Perhaps I could say my CAT S60 was cursed or that little gremlins were living inside, but the fact is that one of the reasons I bought the phone, aside from FLIR, was the fact I could dive up to 5 meters in water. This allows me to go freely with my kids and play in water and take some nice videos.

FLIR camera

Does not perform as stated under specifications; Bad camera shots

If you look for the most unique smartphones available in India at the moment, then the CAT S60 has to be right up there. This device does a lot of things, which other smartphones can't even dream about. But is that enough to woo customers, especially when you have a Rs 64,990 price tag?

You will never ever worry about what happens to this phone if it takes a fall on the ground, or slips into the pool as you were checking the water's temperature; It is that kind of phone and just the looks of it gives you that kind of confidence, I did take the phone into a pool and could still use...

From the moment you unbox the Cat S60 it's apparent this phone is unlike anything you've seen before. It's disgustingly thick, oddly shaped, has a funky door on the back of it, and the word "Flir" embossed next to one of two cameras.

Being a smartphone manufacturer is no cakewalk these days as getting the audience to notice your product in a highly saturated market is no easy feat. We've seen companies bank on waterproofing and shatter-proof displays to set their products apart.

The CAT S60 handset has been launched in India, it is pricey and a lot different from the others smartphones that are available in the market. S60 is world's first smartphone to feature a built in FLIR Thermal Camera.

Not everyone will exploit the Cat S61's considerable talents, but those that do will likely find it invaluable.

Rugged and water resistant; Thermal imaging camera; Long battery life; Useful measurement tools; Air quality sensor

Very expensive; Heavy and chunky; Sluggish at times

The world's first thermal imaging smartphone is the CAT S60, a device first introduced back in February of 2016. This smartphone is part of a collection of Android-based devices made by the folks at CAT, aka Caterpillar.

Extreme ruggedness; FLIR thermal camera; Headphone jack; SOS hardware button / Multi-function button; Unique industrial design

Super thick; wide body; Tiny display for size of phone; Extreme lack of software updates; Cameras are baseline; GSM/HSPA only (AT&T; T-Mobile; no Verizon

Let us just start by saying that the phone under review here may not be anything that you have come across till date. Agreed that the iPhones and Samsungs dominate the smartphone industry.

Great call quality, loud ring tone and really useful to be able to wash site dust off it at the end of the day; Thermal imaging camera is extremely useful

A bit too easy to catch the power button in your pocket and unlock the screen

After a day's use + Quick + Infrared camera, sick cool :) + hearty + Programmable button - Great! So did not think it was such a block :) my old phone is a Sony Z3 compact, and it is smaller in every way despite the same screen size.
