It's strong, waterproof and building quality is great. Screen resolution is 1080 x 1920 pixels, 16:9 ratio (~424 ppi density). Image is sharp and clear and well visible under sunlight.
This phone is fast enough - I never have experienced any slowness. Using many apps.
For me it has never got warm when using and never hanged or crashed. (Almost a year now)
What makes it better than other phones are durability, additional stuff (thermal camera, distance meter, temperature meter, barometer, air quality sensor), and long battery life.
(4-5 days easily - I had over 150 hours usage with one charge once. (a bit less active usage) Of course at first the battery lasts a bit less time because you will use the phone more actively right after buying it, and also battery needs a few charging cycles to reach it's full potential.
This phone is more of a tool than just a phone. Very functional.
If that's what you need, then buy it, if you prefer bling over fuctionality, then iphone.

Some up to date info regarding the planned upgrade to Android Pie. I emailed Cat Phones Customer Support and they confirmed that the Cat S61 will be getting Android Pie around the third quarter of 2019.

I am having Cat S61 also I had used a Cat S60.
USB Port and 3.5 earphone hole position is changed and that is good.
BUT! BUT!!!! Cat S61 also have USB cover as same as S60.
S60 USB cover was the most sucks point and also S61.
My S61 is already separated rubber and plastic cover.
I don't understand why they use plastic USB cover.
Manufacture MUST sell the new USB cover part.
Other things are so far so good. Long life battery and good performance. A gaming performance don't know.
Rear camera is better then S60. But I have a suspicion for thermal camera.
One day I take a picture the flame of gas lighter. And highest temperature is 150℃ not 400℃.
And some people say about bluetooth problem, that is true at least on me.
Sometimes(Once or twice at a month) disconnect and it need bluetooth off and on procedure. That is all.
Conclusion
1. Good for engineer. And useful performance especially battery.
2. Easy separate USB Cover. That is only sucks point.
3. If you want to use a special smartphone then CAT S61 is one of the best option you can buy and use on daily life.
4. Give up using smartphone case. It is enough itself's thickness.

warning, 20 Apr 2019Dear S61 owners BE AWARE Bluetooth is broken on this phone.... moreI am S61 owner and what you are saying is absolutely not true for me - so your experience is yours alone. I had also S60 before, but now with S61 (almost 10 months) I can say that everything is better. Bluetooth works fine (I am using bluetooth with my smartwatch every day - had to reset smartwatch first to erase S60 pairing first, then it connected fine with S61)
Headphone jack 'should' be waterproof even when not covered (covers are for sand), programmable buttons can be programmed exactly like S60, FLIR is faster and can measure temps up to 400C. Also live feed from FLIR is possible now. And then of course air quality sensor and distance meter that work exactly like they should. And my battery lasts 4-5 days, sometimes 6 days. (with two sim cards, active internet connection and active bluetooth 24/7)
So it is not okay to dissuade something based on your personal experience only.
I claim the exact opposite.
(There are some people who cannot use anything without breaking it or they just can't figure out how things work.)

Dear S61 owners BE AWARE Bluetooth is broken on this phone. It does not connect to audio systems or other household items correctly. It will pair but not connect! Have S60 which works fine with same devices!!!!
CAT absolutely failed to deliver quality firmware! Also buttons rattle if you shake phone! Damn rattle phone... Headphone cover is always opening on its own - so warranty will be void as water will get into phone!!!!!
Flir camera still buggy and slow as hell!!!
S60 was more solid/quality build than this S61! Programmable buttons been modified and dont work as they used to do.... With S60 I was able to double press button to switch torch on on any app (handy when one handed taking pictures), S61 can't and buttons only work with screen locked or when not in the app!!!! Own S61 now for 4 months and its such a waste of time and money! S60 was more comfortable phone. S61 is absolute fail!!! Also battery shows signs of capacity reduction too....
CAT support is not wiling to send new replacement, instead offer repair service which means you will be with no phone for weeks!!!! It like not having courtesy car whilst your car is in repair!!! I think CAT needs to revise how they deal with customers considering that phones these days are vital to accomplish daily tasks and show some respect!!!
For anyone considering this phone - it was made to make sales rather than help people....
