What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton

Simply put, for 99 per cent of the population the Cat S60 phone isn't close to good enough. But for the one per cent that it's aimed at, this may well be the ideal smartphone.

Trusted Reviews | Alastair Stevenson

The best rugged phone money can buy, but it won't be for everyone.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

Built to take a pounding and thermal imaging is a killer feature - if spend enough time on a building site.... It's a niche phone, sure, but one that won't let you down when the going gets tough.

Tom's Guide | Sam Rutherford

Get the Cat S60 if you need a phone with extreme durability that doesn't look the part of a rugged phone. The long battery life and thermal camera add to its appeal.

CNET UK | Xiomara Blanco

The Cat S60's durable build is impressive, but its appeal is limited to those who can make good use of its built-in thermal imaging camera... The Cat S60's thoughtfully executed design puts functionality and durability at the forefront.

Gadgets Now | Sulabh Puri

The Cat S60 seems to be the preferred choice for people who like Chandler Bing from the popular sitcom Friends and are a serial dropper. The rest have a lot of good choices, like the Apple iPhone 7 plus that has a larger screen and is water resistant too.

NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo

The Cat S60 is not designed for the average consumer. Overall, the Cat S60 handles smartphone duties pretty well but we can't help but feel that it's underpowered for a smartphone that you probably won't be upgrading anytime soon. However, if your work or leisure activities take you to unforgiving environments, then the Cat S60 might be worth the investment.

The Inquirer | Matt Farrington-Smith

The Cat S60 will appeal to a very small sector who will find it a sensible purchase. For everyone else it's nothing more than an average Android smartphone with thermal imaging tricks to match Predator's.

SlashGear | Chris Burns

If you're aiming for the newest smartphone software or any sort of device security, this isn't the phone for you. If you need a device that can access the internet, email, send messages, and tell you the temperature of a nearby vehicle engine block, the CAT S60 is decent.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
