Cat S60 Rugged Smartphone with FLIR
See The World From A New Perspective
The Cat S60 includes an embedded thermal camera from FLIR, allowing Cat phone users to use their smartphones for a multitude of use cases, including: detecting heat loss around windows and doors; spotting moisture and missing insulation; identifying over-heating electrical appliances and circuitry; and seeing in complete darkness.
The thermal camera visualizes heat that is invisible to the naked eye, highlighting temperature contrasts. It can pick up heat and measure surface temperatures from a distance of up to 50 to 100 feet, and see through obscurants such as smoke, enabling a huge range of use cases for building professionals, utility workers, outdoor sports enthusiasts, and emergency first responders to name but a few.
Drop-proof to 1.8 meters and reinforced with a strengthened die cast frame, the Cat S60 is the perfect companion to those living even the most rugged of lifestyles.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The built in case is well made however it could use some knurling on the sides or back for grip. The access doors that cover the micro USB and the earbud jack are a bit more flimsy than I would like. There's a small piece of rubber that's used as a hinge. I haven't broken mine but it looks like it would be pretty easy to do. The placement is a bit awkward as well. Looking at the screen they're located on the lower left side instead of the bottom so holding it while it's charging or having the headphones jacked in makes it difficult to hold. Other reviews talked about having the access door on the back pop open when they dropped it. I haven't experienced that but I also haven't dropped it or submerged it in water although it does have a sensor of some kind that detects moisture and asks if you would like to use the "speaker dry" function that comes installed. It apparently works pretty well because having the phone in my pocket on a hot day set it off.
The screen resolution seems to be as good if not better than other smart phones I've had. Apps open and close pretty quick. This phone does come with a "Toolbox" app and it has come in handy a few times not having to search around on the play store.
It has an actual AM/FM radio. Unfortunately you can't listen to it without having earbuds connected. I'm assuming this is because the cord is used as an antenna. Not sure if you would be able to use it with a bluetooth headset.
I'm a bit hard of hearing and this phone is loud enough I can actually hear while using it and hear it ring.
Overall it's an excellent phone that's not loaded up with a ton of unnecessary apps right out of the box!
Issues:1. It shut itself off once for a week, no amount of charging or reset button pushes would get it to turn on. Then one day I walked by where it was laying, and it was on.
2. The screen is like looking at an old tube TV that isn't coming in very well, that's at best, sometimes the colors on the screen fade like an old pair of jeans, then 20 minutes later it's back to it's normal terrible resolution.
3. Don't buy this phone if you take a lot of pictures or video. This function is all but useless on this phone. My blackberry in 2011 took 1080p video and Crystal clear pics. I think Caterpillar bought all of Nokia's old cameras from the nineties and used them on this phone.
4. No one can understand a word I say. I don't make phone calls anymore because I get tired of repeating myself. Text only pretty much.
5. The software is horrible. File commander takes a full 30 seconds to open pictures and every time they update it there's a permanent message that won't go away until you visit them. Same with ads from other apps on the phone. Pretty annoying indeed.
6. The swipe function in text will get every word except the one you want 90% of the time
7. The FLIR is neat, but when compared to 2 other phones simultaneously, all three will give different temps, if you need accuracy, buy a real one, this one is more of a novelty than a tool.
Overall, this is the second worst$600 I ever spent, the first was an engagement ring in my twenties, she was absolutely crazy, but I'd take her back before I buy another Caterpillar phone. It's a shame too, great idea, piss poor execution. The only good thing I can say is it's tough. I got mad the last time it shut itself off and threw it out of the lift I was working in. It didn't break. I was disappointed
PROs
-Solid build
-Physical buttons! (I love not having to go onto the screen and running through the setting for everything)
-Dual Sim Slots (perfect for businesses)
-Expandable memory
-Headphone jack
-Brightest LED on any phone I've ever seen
-Used several hours every day for over 2 years and the screen hasn't lost a pixel
-Programmable key
-SOS key (send 2 of your contacts your location and a message with one push of a button)
-Never dropped a call from my end
-Built in GPS
-Film and pictures underwater!
CONs
-Heavy (I love the solid construction but it will not appeal to everyone)
-Water-proofing and speaker drying process kind of weird
-Android OS would be the worst OS if it weren't for iOS (RIP Blackberry and Windows Phone, you are missed)
-Small Screen for the price
-FLIR is neat party trick but is all but useless otherwise
-Cameras are terrible (FLIR is SD only with huge FLIR logo on image files making it useless for most commercial use)
-Case can get exceptionally hot if you are running high processor apps
-DO NOT TAKE IN SALT WATER!
It would be around now that I should be looking for a new phone (26 months) but I love the S60 and am not looking forward to the day that I can no longer upgrade the OS or memory.
