CAT S61

 

The best rugged phone around

Close to indestructable ; Massive step forward on the S60 ; Thermal imaging sensor is great ; Air monitor is great for painters and DIY fanatics

Underpowered ; Very expensive

The CAT S61 is the ultimate, money is no object, rugged phone. But it still isn’t perfect.

Cat S61 review

 

Could this be the best rugged smartphone on the market?

VOC plus better IR camera ; Balanced hardware ; Upgrade path to Android P ; Only phone with IP69 rating ; Support for dual SIM

A tad pricey

This is the best rugged smartphone on the market. Pricey, but well worth it, with a trio of features you won’t find on other smartphones, plus solid aftersales credentials.

Water resistance, tough body ; Thermal camera has been improved ; Air quality sensor is clever ; Surprisingly normal-looking design

Expensive

comprehensive and practical special functions ; robust, well-protected case ; fairly accurate GPS ; great battery life ; very bright display ; good performance ; decent cameras

only worth its price if you use the special functions ; hefty case ; display with low color accuracy

The CAT S61 is of course a specialist. With its hefty exterior and the very specific additional functionalities, it is not really a smartphone for everyone. But anyone who often uses a thermal-imaging camera might enjoy the built-in solution. The...
