Got a CAT S40 5 years ago, was one of the best phones I ever had. Lasted me 4 years. Got my new CAT S60 phone Dec2020. Was super impressed… for the first few hours.
Come the first charge the charge cover came off in my fingers. The phone keeps switching off and rebooting itself. The Bluetooth function keeps loosing other paired devises. The final straw was when the earphone cover also came off the first time I opened it. Still think it’s a good phone, but has some major quality issues. For the price and the quality of the device, I would certainly NOT recommend a rugged phone that falls apart on day 1. VERY DISAPPOINTING – CAT S 60, from now on I will be moving to Apple.

Had this phone since 2018,
Nothing but problems with it performance wise. the screen staying black during calls, speakerphone shutting off duringcalls. battery draining super fast. And now this morning, the battery swelled up so big that it is impacting the screen...... poor built quality. the cover on the USB port fell out and won't go back in...... i'm so disappointed. i love playing around with FLIR and i loved to rock solid feel of the phone.... anyone know what is a good reliable rugged phone with FLIR? i work in construction and hate the cheap flimsy phones the market is flooded with.

i dont understand phone like some youtubers, but this is me.
i got this catt s60 in 05-09-2017, in my birthday, with all the possible insurance available, i think i pay about 1000 euros at the time.
is not the faster or the best smartphone may be, is debatable, but i can a sure u all, today is 21-10-2020, 9:39pm, i got it for 3 years now and is still kick in.
except the battery wich go faster than ever before is still funcional so i am ready to get the next one after the cat s62.
cheer guys

Anonymous, 23 Dec 2018As far as the apps being laggy, are they on internal memory... moreAre you kidding? Are you trying to make people think this super fast in 2016, still faster than normal in 2020, 8 core processor is slower than a normal phone, and lagging running normal apps ? Shame on you, that is an outright ugly lie. The only thing lagging is in your imagination, you obviously either don't have a S60 or you installed a hell of trojan wallpaper and have no clue what happened. Now something that would be way worse, if you know exactly what's up, and if only people was stupid enough to take you seriously, they could buy a slower samsung rugged phone f. ex. instead. Then you would really have screwed them over and think you was pretty smart, too. That is IF you enjoy cheating only the people with the lowest of mental abilities to do a stupid purchase that don't benefit them, based on your lies. Or you can call it crafty marketing if it helps you sleep at night. There's a special place in hell..

APro, 13 Feb 2019I've owned the CAT S60 and didn't have the screen sensitivi... moreThese are the two worst and misunderstood attempts to re-troll the (user) "error" some less technically and otherwise mentally challenged people that actually had tried the phone reported. It (Android) cuts off the screen (of course) when you put it up to your ear, so you don't accidently click any buttons on the screens. If you dont understand it, but take it and run with it, even dramatize it a bit, it will sound like these two comments giving eachother credits above. Pathetic trolling, what are you marketing. It must have been a rugged phone launched in 2019 that felt the CAT was so good it STILL gave them competition 4 years later with the S60. If you look closer all the negativity echoes within the same timeframe. Not that they're not bashing all other CAT phones in a S60 forum, though. Btw justvto be clear - There's no S60 that cuts off the call with the proximity sensor. It's impossible to believe so if you ever tried to make one single call with it.

Albac, 15 May 2019The Flir watermark in the thermal images is the deal breake... moreYou want FLIR but you hate it? Whose problem is that? Did you know forward looking infra red (FLIR) is not just a brand but the name of the type of sensor. What pro photographer does NOT want it to say Hasselblad on a Hasselblad, or FLIR on a real FLIR sensor passive infra red camera? What's not cool about that. It's something that until recently only satellite and military hardware could flash. And the watermark, these are not images you print out or even can show on a bigger screen, can you name just one instance it will get in the way? I would agree about watermarks on normal pics or video, but with the FLIR images the watermark is the last thing to complain about if you'd actually seen it. Obviously youve never had this phone.

What can you possibly do with them where the logo is an issue? You're just talking trash, why do youbeven comment if you never used this phone?

Change it youself it cist 10 bucks orig. 3800mah battery plus tools. But remember to reseal it if you want to keep it waterproof. If anyone of the commenters really had a non-waterproof S60 4 years later it's because a shady tech ripped the seal opening it, and didn't insert a new one or just use his imagination (silicone)

Highd, 22 Aug 2019Ive had the s60 for about 10mos now, I am a welder by trade... moreYou talk like the only one in this thread that has actually had hands on experiencebwith this phone. It's so sad, when people turn to a forum to get real info from real people, and all they get is sneaky marketing of another brand flooding the cpmments like evil parrots. Reposting sometimes just lies, sometimes the stupidest of user errors. Really absurd stuff like "it's not waterproof" or "it's bad cause I don't read the manual" rank highest (Implying you should buy a samsung instead) Does people really fall for that?

The S60 (unless u let some shady shop open it) is one of the most waterproof phones you could get in 2016. You're either lying, you have opened your phone without resealing it, or you have an agenda with making up bs as there's been a lot of in these comments. They are as real and truthful as a us election on facebook.

Andras, 08 Nov 2019Hi . It was a big mistake to buy this "phone". The biggest... moreThe screen shuts off like it's supposed to when the proximity sensor sees something in front of it (normally your ear, but also your hands or even your face if you're very near-sighted... ) this is so you don't push any buttons with your chin/ear. Every Android phone has this more or less successfully intergrated. CAT is not the worst, but also not the best I've experienced. If you understand how it works(like reading the manual) , it's less likely to give you any problems. Never was an issue for me or anyone I know with a S60 to choose numbers in menues during a call f. ex. I've had 2 S60 last 4 years, both only needed a new battery and works fine, but you must realize if you want every single app to be flawlessly compatible, you buy a standard phone, you dont buy a flsgship phone with the most unusual high end non-standard hardware and expect every app maker to optimize it for or even make it capable of running on your device without crashing.

It's what u pay for high performance. This phone is a flagship, it don't slow down much, no matter how many apps are running. If it hangs, usually after installing a quarrelsome app, like any other computer, reset it. There are at least two ways in the manual, just for starters. Incredible how people start whining on forums before looking at the specs and instructions that supports the phone.

I have no issues, mine are working excellent both on second batteries, fast processor for the time and still is not lagging with 150 apps installed. Totally explosion proof, u won't believe what these has survived there has been no updates since Android 6 and next model took over. So that's what u get. Without any 'defects', where do you get that from? The hardware is better (higher quality parts and build) than following models.

We discovered that th... moreIt has very little value for people wanting to know how this phone performs, when the forum get trolled by people blaming the model for their own user errors. Why do you tell us this? Do u think we want to know? Are you not embarrassed? It has the same drop down menu as EVERY Android phone in the world. If it's too much to hanfle stay with a landline or get a cell with the big numbers on it. The S60 is a great unbreakable octacore phone I've had two since 2016 and they both still work perfect though on a very old Android. Most of the people posting problems could have solved them reading the manual. If you use them hard you have to change battery after a couple or three years. Cost about 10 us for an original.

I had this phone 18 months from new, and it has stopped responding to my inputs altogether, I have pressed reboot and reset behind the sim card flap and still no luck, waste of money for an expensive phone I do not recommend this device
