The Cat S60 smartphone is also waterproof to 5m and is built to withstand drops from 1.8m

Beyond Military Specification
The Cat S60 is an extremely tough and robust, world class rugged smartphone. It exceeds military specs and is built to withstand drops from 1.8m, reinforced with a strengthened die cast frame. The device is IP68 certified which makes it dustproof, shockproof, waterproof and MIL-SPEC 810G certified, making it the perfect companion to those living even the most rugged of lifestyles.

The Power of Thermal in your hand
The Cat S60 includes an embedded thermal camera from FLIR, the global leader in thermal imaging technology, allowing Cat phone users to be the first in the world to use their smartphones for a multitude of use cases, including: detecting heat loss around windows and doors; spotting moisture and missing insulation; identifying over-heating electrical appliances and circuitry; and seeing in complete darkness.

The thermal camera visualizes heat that is invisible to the naked eye, highlighting temperature contrasts. It can pick up heat and measure surface temperature from a distance of up to 50 feet and see through obscurants such as smoke.

Most waterproof phone
The Cat S60 is also waterproof  to depths of two meters, which can be extended to five  meters using a unique Lockdown Switch. This enables the smartphone to be used as an underwater camera, pushing the boundaries of mobile technology, and how and where it is used. Its versatile, super-bright display can be viewed in bright sunlight, and the touchscreen can be controlled with wet fingers or while wearing gloves.
