CAT S60 smartphone Launched in India for Rs 64,999

Cat has launched Cat S60 in India. It was first introduced at last year MWC. Cat S60 is world’s first smartphone with an integrated thermal camera.

The smartphone features a 4.7-inch HD display with Gorilla Glass 4 protection, wet fingers and glove touch support, as well as a Snapdragon 617 chipset to light it up. When it comes to memory, the Cat S60 ships with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. The rear camera is 13 MP with dual LED flash, and a 5 MP selfie snapper adorns the front. All that jazz runs on Android Marshmallow, and is backed by a hefty 3800 mAh battery,

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.Cat S60 is also waterproof to depths of up to 5 meters for one hour, allowing it to be used as an underwater camera, pushing the boundaries of mobile technology, and how and where it’s used.

The thermal camera visualizes heat that is invisible to the naked eye, highlighting temperature contrasts. It can pick up heat and measure surface temperatures from a distance of up to 50 to 100 feet, and see through obscurants such as smoke, enabling a huge range of use cases for building professionals, utility workers, outdoor sports enthusiasts, and emergency first responders to name but a few.
