Reviews for the CAT S60

50% CAT S60 Review: Hardcore to a fault
Source: Slashgear English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
This phone can be attained from a number of retailers through Amazon right this minute for around $579 USD. It comes with GSM compatibility, which means Verizon and Sprint SIM cards won’t work – AT&T and T-Mobile USA will work. There’s also a CAT S61 out now if you’d like to see a very similar device with a larger display and a few new features.

65% Caterpillar CAT S60 Review
Source: Think Digit English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
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. If you are looking for a phone that can keep up with your rough and tumble lifestyle, there are hardly many phones that can compete with the CAT S60. It is currently in a class of its own.

70% Cat S60 Review: A Rugged Smartphone With Thermal Camera
Source: NDTV Gadgets English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Cat S60 is not designed for the average consumer. More than individuals, it’s organisations and the service industry that might find true benefits from such a smartphone. The phone is available at certain offline stores and via Amazon at Rs. 64,999. It is distributed in India by Brandeyes, who’s the sole distributor for Bullitt Group in India. The phone ships with a 1 year warranty and after sales service will be handled by B2X.

80% CAT S60 review: The toughest phone money can buy
Source: The Indian Express English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Yes, if you work in an industry that puts you in the middle of the action, that too outdoors. While the company thinks the phone will appeal to those who live an active lifestyle, the quality of the primary camera might just put off most of them from picking this as their adventure phone.

Cat S60 smartphone review: Throw it, dunk it, use it
Source: Gadgets Now English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
All in all, the Cat S60 impressed us on a lot of levels. We loved its ruggedness and the ability to work under water. What made it a deal breaker was its steep price of Rs 64,999. This for the specs Caterpillar gives is just not justified, yes the phone has a thermal camera, but how many of us would use it on a regular basis. The Cat S60 seems to be the preferred choice for people who like Chandler Bing from the popular sitcom Friends and are a serial dropper. The rest have a lot of good choices, like the Apple iPhone 7 plus that has a larger screen and is water resistant too.

84% CAT S60 review – with FLIR thermal Camera
Source: Gogi.in English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The handset is good, very tough, hard to break (except the screen – depends), water proof and dust proof. Overall hardware is powerful, battery life is pretty good and heat-up is under control. Camera is not at all good but the thermal camera is something unique.

80% CAT S60 Review: Rugged but not for everyone
Source: India Today English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Certainly, if you require a thermal camera on your phone and rugged features, the S60 is made for you. After all the testing, we can say CAT S60 is an amazingly tough smartphone and lives up to its rugged tag without hiccups. More importantly it doesn't feel like the phone is made for special purposes as the interface is seamless for daily use and there is no extra protective glass on the display that could hamper the touchscreen experience.

The Rugged CAT S60 Wins Thunderdome, Crushes Your Feeble Phone
Source: Forbes English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
It’s for a completely different, niche crowd. It’s for tough, rugged folk who don’t wear flannel ironically. It’s for those of us who prefer not only function over form, but like some of our technology to still maintain a physical presence that is starting to fade with every new phone on the market. Soon phones will be paper thin holographic devices embedded in our skin, a bruise will break the screen. I’ll be the grizzled tech hoarder, still using my CAT S60 while you literally bleed over cracked screens.

Priced at $600, it’s not the most affordable phone available. Although, if you were to tack on a waterproof case to most of the $400 phones flooding the market, you’re going to come pretty close to the Cat S60’s price tag, and won’t have a Flir camera to show for it.

Tough build and thermal imaging make for a phone like no other
Source: Pocket Lint English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Flir camera adds thermal imaging capabilities to a smartphone for the first time ever, which is a genuinely useful tool to have on your phone if you're in an industry that needs one. Not having to carry around a separate gadget means greater convenience, while the tough waterproof build means it can be used on a building site, in any weather, without ever having to worry that it'll be broken or water damaged.

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. You won't get a thermal camera in either of those phones, but you can always add an accessory like the Flir One.

Hands-on with the Cat S60 smartphone
Source: Tech Smart English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The thermal camera is more than just a simple gimmick and should come in useful in the right hands. But with a price of R12 999 – basically the same as certain flagships – the S60 is a purchase for those in certain sectors or environments that will make the most of its rugged, workhorse design.

80% CAT S60 thermal imaging smartphone review
Source: Stuff TV English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The S60 really is the smartphone version of Gordon Freeman’s HEV suit. It ticks every box that will suit a hard outdoor life, and doesn’t seriously skimp out on hardware to make that happen. OK, so you’re not exactly getting flagship specs, even if you’re paying top-end money, but the thermal camera could make all the difference if you’re in the trade.

The CAT S60 is the best ruggedised phone available at the moment. It easily outmatches competing devices, such as Panasonic’s Toughpads, when it comes to hardware and comes loaded with an awesome thermal imaging sensor. If you’re a professional who regularly works in hazardous environments, a DIY fanatic, or an extreme sports enthusiast the CAT S60 is a great handset.

Hands on: Cat S60 review
Source: Techradar English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
For the rest of us, it is an expensive gadget, the novelty value of which is likely to wear off after a few trips to show it off down the pub. That said, it's a great handset if you are fed up of cracking the screen of your expensive phone and having to fork out a couple of hundred quid to get it repaired every time you drop it in the aforementioned pub's toilets.

Cat S60 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 Active head-to-head review
Source: V3.co.uk English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
If you love everything about the Samsung Galaxy S7 and don't mind forgoing its good looks in the name of durability, the Active could be the handset for you. The Cat S60 is impressive for different reasons. It may not match the Galaxy's specs, but it is by far the hardiest of the two and won't make your stomach flip if it drops into the drink. You might not necessarily find a use for thermal imaging, but you have to admire the innovation.

The Cat S60 will appeal to a very small sector who will find it a sensible purchase. For everyone else it's nothing more than an average Android smartphone with thermal imaging tricks to match Predator's.

80% This Rugged Phone Beats the S7 Active
Source: Tom's Guide English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Cat S60 tops its next-closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active, in almost every way. It's more durable, has a brighter screen, lasts longer on a charge and looks better. At $599, the S60 is cheaper, too. And that's before you even talk about its built-in thermal camera. Where the S7 Active reigns supreme, however, is its camera, especially for photos taken in low light, as well as its more robust Snapdragon 820 processor. But if I needed to regularly put my tech in unforgiving situations, the S60 is the phone I'd buy.

Cat S60 hands on review
Source: What Mobile English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Cat S60 is not for me, nor is it for you, unless you’re reading this wearing a hard hat, then it’s most likely for you. It joins a growing collection of rugged phones but it is the first to have a built-in thermal imaging camera. A camera that is impressive but can also be replciated with accessories on ‘normal’ devices.
