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.

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.

Think CAT and a massive yellow excavator is probably the first image that comes to your mind. Short for Caterpillar, the company has been making heavy construction equipment for decades now.

The CAT S60 is not a phone for you and me. It's actually not a phone for most of us. It belongs to a niche market segment. We wish the regular market could have some of this ruggedness, or be at least 30% as rugged as this phone. For a rugged phone, the CAT S60 actually seems to be quite a device.

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

I love the design of the phone. Very different and gives a very industrial look. It is a head-turner whenever I get my phone out. And yeah it is tough as a rock Great phone

This phone was unfortunately a letdown, and I would not purchase again. Pros - Durable - Versatile - Thermal Camera Cons - Screen quality (it is a poor quality screen to shows obvious burn-in, and residual shadowing) - Lack of continued support (despite being the companies flagship phone, the phone...
