“An advanced thermal imaging camera, a laser distance tool, and an air quality monitor are all tools of the trade for the enterprise. With the Cat S61, these tools are found in an Android smartphone that lets you also do all that a smartphone can in a single rugged tool.”

“This phone is going to cost $1,000, so odds are that you'll never buy it. There are some people for whom this is exactly the phone they need. It's durable despite being clunky and heavy. At the same time, it's a real improvement in design over the old S60 phone.”

“The Cat S61 is an interesting phone, which is a label that doesn't fit too many phones these days. However, the software needs work, and the price tag is too high for what it offers.”
