Interesting phone that checks a lot of boxes for me.  

  • FLIR which is something I can use in the front country but it would be nice to see exactly what was going bump in the night.  I’d be interested to see if this could be used to measure the isobutane levels of canisters.  It’s advertised to be capable of measuring propane levels.
  • Waterproof to five meters
  • Drop proof from 1.8 meters
  • GLONASS, GPS, aGPS, Beidou
  • microSD up to 128Gb

Weight wasn’t available yet in specs.

’tis hot indeed.

I’ve looked at the Flir One before but my iphone has died and I’m in the market anyways.  For work purposes, I like that it would always be with me and not something I’d forget in my vehicle or at home.

Yes the 3800 mAh battery is really something compared to the iPhone 6’s 1810 mAh battery.  Both have a 4.7″ display but maybe the S60 requires more juice or the FLIR requires it?  I’m interested to see how long it will last in airplane mode.

Cat hasn’t released the standby time and talk time yet.  The S60 is supposed to be released this month so hopefully they will release the full specs soon.

Below are the specs for the iphone 6 and the predecessor Cat S50 for comparison later:

  • iPhone 6
    • talk time: Up to 14 hours on 3G
    • Internet use: Up to 10 hours on 3G, up to 10 hours on LTE, up to 11 hours on Wi‑Fi
    • HD video playback: Up to 11 hours
    • Audio playback: Up to 50 hours
    • Standby time: Up to 10 days
  • Cat S50
    • Capacity 2630 mAh
    • Talk Time 16 hours
    • Standby Time 33 days

Will guess weight to be 6-7 oz. S50 is 185 grams.
