Aside from being a nearly indestructible smartphone, the CAT S60 smartphone is waterproof up to five meters and features a strengthened die-cast frame for ultimate durability. While the CAT S60 smartphone is indeed a strong device, the internal components are still impressive. 32GB of storage, a 3800 mAH battery and an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor make it a force to be reckoned with. Aside from the usage components, the CAT S60 smartphone features a FLIR thermal camera that can capture thermal images at distances between 50 and 100-feet away. The CAT S60 smartphone is set to launch onto the market this summer for an entry price of $599. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rugged Smartphones:** Opportunity for companies to create smartphones that are durable and strong for use in tough environments. - **Waterproof Technology:** Opportunity for companies to develop waterproof technology for use in smartphones and other electronic devices. - **Smartphone Cameras:** Opportunity for companies to integrate advanced cameras, such as thermal cameras, into smartphones for improved functionality in a variety of industries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Construction Industry:** Opportunity for construction companies to use rugged smartphones with thermal cameras to improve efficiency and safety on job sites. - **Outdoor Industry:** Opportunity for outdoor and adventure companies to use waterproof and rugged smartphones to capture high-quality photos and videos in harsh environments. - **Security Industry:** Opportunity for security companies to use smartphones with advanced cameras, such as thermal cameras, for improved surveillance and monitoring capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Durable Field Professional Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ulefone-armor-27t-pro.md) - [Durable Adventurous Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-xr21.md) - [Rugged Lifeproof Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duraforce-pro-3.md) - [Field Performance Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ulefone-armor-28-ultra.md) - [Compact Durable Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackview-n6000.md) - [5G-Enabled Rugged Hotspots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-q10.md) - [Durable Outdoor Photography Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fossibot-f107-pro.md) - [Entry-Level Tactical Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doogee-s35.md) - [Rugged Android Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doogee-s100.md)
