The "hump" helps me hold it securely, in landscape mode. It really is a good phone for work and my clients really like thermal images and air quality screenshots attached to their invoices. It pays for itself, if you know what you're doing.

I actually think that is a pretty darn good looking phone. Not everyone finds the ultra-thin, fragile-piece-of-glass aesthetic to be the pinnacle of smartphone design.

Hmmm... What's the maximum distance range of the thermal camera where it can detect heat sigmature?

I'm sorry, but why in the world would you talk about the colour of the buttons for such niche device for almost half of the video?? People who buy this only care about the functionality and you hardly even mention that here :/

Oh he's the dude from soundguys! Your videos are great 😂✋

I sold my CAT S60 because the FLIR MSX implementation was faulty, i.e. the thermal image wouldn't line up with the visible light image. Running the calibration would line them up - but only in the calibration screen. The calibration does not get applied when you exit the calibration! At 0:32 the problem is still there - I would have thought a demo phone at a trade show would be properly calibrated. I really hope it's because the camera was calibrated to a distant target, rather than the same problem still being there.

There's a "macro" mode (more like 'Manual MSX' mode tbh) that puts a slider in that can actively change your MSX setting. Basically manual alignment by the user rather than relying on the auto system. It's akin to manual on a camera. Like my cameras, i like to manually focus, so pushing the slider for closer objects doesn't really bother me, in fact makes it far more useful. MSX isn't faulty, it's just the app needs to have some sort of auto-ranging function... like a laser rangefinder??? which this new S61 has! MSX is only rated for a minimum distance of 1m anyway. Any closer and you'll need to manually align the setting no matter the circumstances. Considering this, it's not bad for being only the 1 of 2 integral FLIR smartphones on the market Feels like you sold it over a workable issue :/

I had a FLIR One before the CAT S60, and sold the S60 to get a FLIR One Pro, so I do know how to calibrate the two cameras. The CAT S60's FLIR app is not the same as the the FLIR Ones. You have to set the calibration in an alignment screen, and not with a slider in the main UI. When you enter the alignment screen, you can set the alignment so it appears perfectly on the alignment screen. But the moment you exit the alignment screen, the alignment isn't saved and it's out of alignment again. From memory it happened after an update, and stayed that way. That, and the higher resolution of the Pro was enough to make me switch.

Is the resolution on the s61 much more noticeable than the s60 and is it worth the upgrade even though I own the s60 ?

Shame the CPU couldnt be slightly beefier i have minor concerns with how age and 30gb of videos pictures and apps will affect its already not quite snappy performance but otherwise im buying one the moment they hit stores i need a new phone and id rather not buy an intermediate cheap phone

I believe you meant android Pocky.

This is CAT's 5th or fourth generation of devices. You guys should really check out the other offerings. They have more than just tank phones like the s60. The s45 ran a 4k display and a 820 chipset or something like that. It's nice to see Android authority finally give cat some screen time. They make niche phones that aren't for the masses and have been doing it for years now. Even though they are primarily sold in Europe doesn't mean you can't review them guys!

I wouldn't get this one. Serious issue's - mainly with charging. @VDxw Cat are refusing to replace my phone - Cat S61. Less than 6 months - charging issue's. Calls drop out. Poor phone signal. Lost photos. Screen unresponsive. Help centre staffed by agency when I phoned them (at a cost of £15 - premium rate) he said basically he was unable to help! I'm left with a £800 6 month old phone which is unreliable.

Its all about functionality. By they time they actually make it available in Canada it will be outdated.... near obsolete.

Lots of excuses for the company you're shilling for. I see that on all the review sites with CAT S60. And it still boils down to one thing: you shills will constantly reword the same "logic" - rugged does not mean rugged. It needs nice gentle touches. Now prove me wrong by coming back and saying the same thing again with different words.

*Yeah poptart*

Android Poptart? Doubt it.

Good phone

It looks beautiful. Not some girly 99% screen ratio like all them ladies phones. It looks manly and tough but still sophisticated. And finally, some decent thickness. I really don't want a phone as thin as they are nowadays. They feel like ladies watches. And the top notch is excellent engineering, probably a good feature when you try to guide it inside your pocket. So its finally a practical one again. Tools to go. Smartphones have become too much like jewelry for stupid ppl. You carry around this square plate thats main feature is that itself looks good. Smart people like to have this multitool that does everything. And this one looks good too. Finally I found something good. I already was afraid that I am stuck to my htc 10 for good. Its like the old times when the first pocket pcs came. First HTC phones did not look very slim either, but were packed with sensors and functions. Even a good camera was a great feature back then. Thats what I like about it. That phone enchances a human being, giving one powers not just to talk so that they can be heard all over world, but also perception of thermal vision, distance measurement and air analysis. Popular flagship phones give ppl just more possibilities to waste time looking good. You pick yours. I 'll pick mine.

Thumbs down for calling it Android Poptart which hasn't been confirmed. AA should be more selective with who they hire.
