manitoubass2 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Well I finally bit the bullet on a much needed new phone. I had a Samsung Galaxy s5. Great phone, definitely served me well. What I was looking for in a replacement was durability. Of course storage, function and a good camera were ony list too. I had eyed up many phones but the Cat S60 kept coming back on top. So I pulled the trigger. It took about of getting use too as one would expect. But not nearly as long as when I switched from IPhone to Galaxy s5. Super easy to use, camera works great and Finally a phone that doesn't feel like plastic! If you work in industrial work or fish and hunt, I think this is about as good as it gets. It's waterproof (yeah I tried it last night) up to 5m. Scratch resistant outta the box. No LifeProof type case needed. And it's got a FLIR camera. For those that don't know what that is, it's basically a very expensive thermal imaging camera. Which if ya think about it, has alit if practical uses both at home and work My son is sick today and it accurately told me his fevered temperature? If your in the market check this phone out. Lots of YouTube test reviews available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 EC I'd bet youde like this phone better. Doesn't hurt it's darn near 300 gigs of storage too. And the battery life is crazy. I haven't charged mine since 5pm last night and it's still over half. The weird things is it's machined. So you can't remove the battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 A telephone that takes a kids temperature. What will they come up with next? It's the infrared camera that measures temps. So it's not really an intended use. Just thought I'd check it for accuracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
