In our version, there were already repeatedly protected smartphones that can be dropped and drowning in water, but today's hero of the review, CAT S60 differs from them one, but very significant feature: the presence of a thermal imager, for the first time in smartphones. FLIR has already been doing thermal chambers for a long time, including for drones and smartphones, but before that time - only as an external connected block.

What is it?

CAT S60 - shockproof, waterproof smartphone, is protected from external influences According to the IP68 standard, equipped with a 4.7-inch display and an eight-year Qualcomm processor.

What is it interesting?

In such smartphones, the smartphone component itself goes into the background and some top characteristics should not be expected, and they are not needed, it is a highly specialized gadget, which is intended for professional use and tourism. So the most interesting in this case are, of course, the thermal camera FLIR, protection against external influences according to IP68 standard and MIL-810G military standards. It withstands the drop from a height to 1.8 meters and can be painlessly dive to a depth of 5 meters, and this is a serious indicator. Usually, such smartphones are withstanding up to 2 meters maximum.

What's in the box?

Smartphone comes in a small orange box, inside: smartphone, charger, USB-microUSB cable, headset ( intracinal headphones with flat cable) protective film On the screen and instructions.

What does it look like?

In such smartphones, aesthetics goes to the background, but CAT S60 cannot be called ugly. Yes, he is massive, but it looks in his own way attractive. In addition to the screen on the front panel there front-camera, set of sensors, led indicator, Mechanical buttons "Back", "Home" and Application Manager, Conversational and External Speaker. This is from standard items. In addition to this above and under the screen there are two mechanical switches 2/5 m. They are quite tight and it looks like mechanically closed rubber seals inside. The position of 5 m is designed for immersing to the appropriate depth (as it is easy to guess), while all the slots of the speakers are cleaned.

The smartphone is pretty thick, the perimeter is an impressive massive frame made of metal. Volume control buttons are deposited on the left end. They are also made of metal, have large dimensions and are quite tightly pressed:

There is nothing but two plastic inserts on the bottom. Apparently, for adequate operation of wireless modules:

The right face is loaded with functional elements. It houses the power button with a relief surface, an orange function button (can be assigned to it required functions or applications, both short and long pressing). Below are two plugs with the SOS and MicroUSB connector button. Even below - a separate plug for 3.5 mm connector:

The plugs have interesting and reliable (in any case such an impression is created) Design:

At the top of the case there is a big ledge with the FLIR logo. Apparently the thermal imager module itself has impressive sizes:

The back cover has a textured surface "under carbon". In the middle - Cat logo:

All functional elements are placed in the upper part of the case. The left is the flash, the main chamber of 13 megapixels, above - the peel of the thermal imager:

The relevant is a sealed compartment for two Nano SIM cards and MicroSD memory cards:

As mentioned earlier, the smartphone is absolutely not afraid of dives into the water:

Drops from the height of human growth smartphone are also not scary. The video demonstration will soon be in our video recruitment. The smartphone operates in the temperature range from -25 ° C to 55 ° C. From the point of view of the category of protected smartphones, the CAT S60 has shown himself exclusively on the best side.

Is it good?

The smartphone has a bright A-SI AHVA screen (Au Optronics Au Optronics) with a 4.7-inch diagonal and a resolution of 1280x720 and Corning Gorilla Glass 4, very well, as for a secure smartphone. More size and resolution in this case are not necessary. The screen really has a very high maximum brightness, with the viewing angles is also all good.

The picture is bright and rich, the brightness stock is enough even with a bright summer sun. Oleophobic coating is not the highest quality, but it is. Multitouch is supported up to 10 simultaneous touches:

As the measurements showed using a colorimeter, the maximum screen brightness is really very high: 602.743 kD / m 2, so that is enough for all occasions. But the brightness of the black field is also higher than that of competitors: 0.765 cd / m 2, the contrast rate at a good level: 788: 1. As it turned out, the screen is calibrated very well: ΔE does not exceed 8, there is a small drawback of red:

Comparison with other smartphones:

What with performance and autonomy?

Heavy duty processors and many RAM are clearly not a chip of a similar class of smartphones, but a couple of words still worth saying. The smartphone works on the 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor, the amount of RAM is 3 GB, which is enough for the head to clean Android 6.0 Marshmallow "with a whistle" flew on the smartphone HD screen. Modern games are also quite normally working, although, again, the smartphone is not developed for these purposes:

Included 32 GB memory, which can be supplemented with a microSD memory card for another 128 GB, so that there will be no problems with the volume of the repository.

Regarding the sound quality sound, you can say the following: ringtone yells very loudly, so it's difficult to skip the call. In the headphones, the sound is quite good, by itself a Hi-Fi player, but as for such a smartphone is very good. Cat decided to use Waves Maxxaudio Improvement, it is more marketing step. Although the Israeli company WAVES AUDIO is a developer of canceled VST-plugins for recording:

The smartphone supports network 3G and 4G, there is Wi-Fi 802.11 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.1 and NFC. To find a location, global positioning systems GLONASS, GPS, AGPS and Beidou are used. The smartphone very quickly defines satellites and without connecting to any cellular networks:

The battery is fixed, its capacity is 3800 mAh. It cannot be said that a lot, especially given the appointment, but in real conditions the smartphone calmly survives 2 full days with quite impressive loads. In many ways, thanks to a relatively small diagonal and screen resolution and good energy efficiency indicators of the 617th "Dragon".

For those who want to know more

Inside - 64-bit eight-year Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 MSM8952-3 (4 x 1.5 GHz + 4 x 1.2 GHz) plus Adreno 3505 graphics accelerator and 3 GB of RAM. For those who are important numbers:

What is from additional software?

As mentioned earlier, the smartphone works on a clean OS Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but it would be rather strange to see such a smartphone without additional specialized programs. The settings have a set of simple animated instructions for basic functions:

An application-companion for tourists with a barometer, temperature, compass, flashlight function (flash), distance calculation and so on:

Branded app for a faster drying of speakers after immersion in water

Programming programmable and SOS buttons:

You can specify up to three recipients who will be sent to the coordinates:

What can FLIR thermal imager and who will be useful?

The smartphone is equipped with FLIR thermal imager, which is capable of working at a distance of 30 meters in the dark and through the smoke. You can make photos and videos, resolution - 640x480, which is normal for similar cameras. To use the MyFlir for Cat S60 application is pre-installed. Thermal imager in real time determines the temperature range in the "frame" and provides the appropriate side scale. In the pictures, it is possible to note specific points with a marked temperature, separate areas or temperature differences:

If you come to the question seriously, then the smartphone (and the thermal imager in particular) is intended for builders, firefighters, rescuers, will allow you to determine the leakage of heat in the windows and doors, the location of the moisture accumulation, disturbed isolation, leakage in the pipeline or detect the overheating of the electronics. In domestic purposes, you can use, for example, to determine the overheating of the PC:

Laptop heating places:

Heating smartphones after long-term serious loads:

And so looks video with fLIR thermal imager:

In fact, household applications can be invented a lot. The only question is that the pleasure is quite expensive: a separate FLIR thermal imager for smartphones costs 340 euros, so the price tag of $ 700 on CAT S60 no longer looks so overpriced, but the smartphone does not clearly pretend to the mass.

How are things going with the camera?

The main chamber uses a module with a resolution of 13 megapixels, front-line - 5 MP, video can be removed in the resolution of FullHD 30 frames per second. The interface is extremely simple and understood. All necessary functions are on the screen (or within one level of the menu):

The emphasis in the smartphone is clearly not on the main chamber, but it allows you to get quite good photos in normal lighting. Examples of photo:

In the dry residue

Despite buying the CAT S60 will be able to anyone with $ 700 in his pocket, the smartphone still has a narrower specialization and the main audience will still be employees of the respective professions, because not everyone needs a thermal imager in the smartphone, and it adds to the cost of very decently. If we consider B. absolute values, then CAT S60 is a kind of flagship among protected smartphones, in which there is everything, or almost all the corresponding functions. The smartphone received a really shockproof case, which can not be afraid to drop, "adult" water refractory, and not immersion to a meter, a unique function in the form of a FLIR thermal imager and a completely modern smartphone. For complete "minced meat" lacks only the functions of the radio station (full, not Zello applications), although such smartphones have a very small amount.

6 reasons to buy CAT S60:

• very durable, impassable housing;
• waterproofability up to 5 meters;
• the presence of thermal imager;
• bright and high-quality screen;
• modern "iron";
• clean Android current version.

3 reasons not to buy CAT S60:

• high price;
• the battery could be put more;
• you simply do not need a smartphone with similar functionality.
