Battery life is a huge plus! Working great and with good control over both sim cards and an SD card in. My pc cant read it but I dont update windows so I assume thats d problem. Camera is shit, it makes my face so red on skype, I look like an old school drunk and its useless for any kind of decent...

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...

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.

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

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

Cat's S60 smartphone is designed to take a beating and keep working, with the added benefit of an infrared camera.

It has a Flir camera; Need I say more, Waterproof up to an hour, Battery life that keeps going, and going, and going

Big; heavy and cumbersome; Not the fastest phone on the block; Expensive

If you need a super-rugged phone with a built-in thermal imaging camera, look no further than the Cat S60. But at $600, it's nearly as pricey as top-tier devices like the rugged Samsung Galaxy S7 Active and the shatterproof Moto Z Force Droid, both of which offer far better performance all around.

Accurate thermal imaging camera; Rugged, waterproof build; Useful pre-installed apps; Latest Android software; Expandable storage

Sluggish camera sensors; Mediocre specs for the price; Back flap can pop open upon impact; Lackluster call quality

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

Owning a smartphone means you're also privy to the very particular fear of dropping that smartphone. And many of us go different lengths to mitigate this problem. Some of us slap our phones in big, fat, protective cases. Others are like me - we lie to ourselves and pretend we'll be fine without one.

Very rugged; Thermal camera is fun and useful; Good standard camera

Mediocre screen; Expensive; Hefty design; Thermal camera app is sluggish

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.

Drop proof to 1.8m; Waterproof to 5m; Thermal camera

A faster processor would have been warranted; Primary camera needs some work
