Cat S60 World’s First Smartphone With Integrated Thermal Camera

The Bullitt Group partnered with the Cat in the UK with the aim of developing the world’s first Android smartphone with an integrated thermal camera. This thermal camera is able to measure the temperature of surfaces at distances of up to 30 meters and detect heat.

As we all know that basically, these type of devices are extremely expensive and strictly used only by the law enforcement or military and special agents. But, now the thermal cameras are accessible to everyone with a smartphone known as Cat S60. Yes, with the new Cat S60, the thermal imaging sensors start to be incorporated into smartphones.

Cat S60 is thick and hefty with an unapologetically industrial design. In addition to being a tough SOB that can endure 6-foot drops and the most waterproof phone made to date, it also has one thing no other phone possesses: a built-in thermal imaging camera.

If you have to ask why anyone would need a durable, waterproof phone with a thermal imaging camera, the Cat S60 probably isn't for you. Those of you whose ears perk up at the mention of the phone's features should definitely stick around, however.


The phone is available for pre-order in the UK for £529 unlocked. US and Australian pre-orders have yet to be announced, but the UK price converts to around AU$920. In the US it will sell for $599 unlocked and work with GSM networks like T-Mobile and AT&T.
