I just bought the phone and i am already having troubles, or I am doing something wrong. It had around 48% battery when it started, after a software update and some app updates it went down to 30% and heat up like a toaster. Had to turn it off to cool down. Is this normal?

I experienced similar issues with Wi-Fi;with battery life with restarting and updating. Most frustrating was the 2nd SIM slot not working.
On inquiring I was told that this phone needed a software downgrade (non service provider specific) if I want to use the second SIM option which to me was vital.
In South Africa Rugged phones in Fourways did this as the Cat agent, and at no charge.
To my surprise this has solved just about every issue I have ever had with the phone and it's really a pleasure dealing with Ruggedphones.co.za. The Android version is v.6 Generic and the phone's own firmware get changed.
I hope this helps some people.

Thought that the S60 was a rugged phone. After less than 8 months the phone was falling to pieces. Charging cover fell off. Speaker mash covers came off. Power and sound buttons not working. Very disappointed.

Good day, I bought a new phone in January 2017 from vodacom and with full battery the phone completely switched off during the night.
The only way to get it restarted was to push the reset button at the back with a pin.
Initially I thought it was some kind of setting or app but after it happened several times, I took it back to Vodacom South Africa in Johannesburg.
They did a software upgrade and could not find any other faults.
I received the phone and while setting up all my apps and settings it informed that updates are available.
Don’t know how that is possible but I proceed with the updates for more than 500 FIVE HUNDRED MEGS.!!!!!
While I was busy with settings and update, the phone switched off but I only had to put the pin in and it worked.
That night it went dead again and I took it back to Vodacom.
Today after 11 days they informed me that they could not find any problems.
I wanted them to contact Cat and discus this problem but apparently they did not.
Please can you help me.
The phone is under guarantee and I do not want to suffer like this.
What can be done.
Regards
Johann Lubbe

Can anyone compare the speaker to this phone with another phone? Too bad that the S60 has the loudest speaker in the world of mobile phones

I love this Phone. Here is why. I come from high end phones since the pocket PC phone edition. My last phone was a note 4 witch I hung on to until the end. I miss my IR blaster... RIP. Since I'm in electrical construction I thought I would try this one out after breaking two screens with in a month of each other. First thing I did was get it wet... It detected the water and worked fine after that. Its a heavy phone and a bit slippery. A week after receiving it I left for Thailand for a month. I was hard on the phone. swimming pools, ocean water, sand from the beach, doped many times. I took it snorkeling at choral Island and filmed my whole family for hours and it still had battery life when we got back to the main land. I have no screen protector even after that there is no scratches. The glass is tough. Today I was on a blue tooth call for over 72 min straight and I still have 75% battery after I got home. Often I only need to charge it every other day. I read all the negative reviews here and can only assume they got a lemon. Or a knock off. I do wish the second sim slot worked. Hardware interfaces by the way are not always fully integrated in to the chips on the main board. Many components on a cell phone are not built specifically for that device. The Sim and SD hardware apparently were sourced from else ware to save cost. That being said the durability, battery life and Cool factor far exceed any draw backs. I get lots of people checking out my phone. I hope they come out with a larger screen in the future and an IR blaster and while there at it a USB C connection would be cool. More utility for the working class!!!
