CAT S60 is a very good and tough smart phone and the Clove Company is awesome!

Have had this phone for about a year. A small screen that covers the part that I talk into came off. But that really hasn't impacted its use. It is still waterproof and works fine.

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.

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

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 Cat S60's spec sheet reads more like a superhero's vital statistics on paper, and the military-grade protection, strong angular looks and the ability to identify heat signatures make it a thing of wonder.

Thermal imaging; hard as nails build quality; long-lasting battery; genuinely useful apps

Medium-powered; screen only HD; gimmicky Underwater mode; high price; niche appeal

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...

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

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

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
