i was always complaining about these flagship normie phones being flimsy peices of glass that break if you blow on it... no idea why people shell out 800 dollars for an iphone 12 when their iphone 11sc w/e still works fine and does everything they need...
anyway, i found something that breaks the cycle of stupidity... cat s60, i just preordered it.
>3800 mah battery >720p screen, so your not killing your battery with 8k 1800 ppi unnecsary bs >32 gb storage / 3gb ram / 8 core big little processor >waterproof to 15 feet for an hour. actually waterproof >impact resistant from face height >oh, and it has a FUCKING THERMAL CAMERA
yeah... i just spent 600 bucks on this bad boy... i bet its gonna last more than 6 years as well. not bad...
>600$ >on that eeeeeeeh should've actually got a flagship and a good case, you fucking cuck
Sebastian Walker
not bad, but what os does it run? also is the battery removable?
Luke Gomez
for what reason though? its a phone... im not trying to play crysis on it. my current phone has 512mb of ram and does practically everything i want. i hardly play games, and when i do, its normally puzzle games. not cuck of duty 7
android 6.0.1, its basically stock, other than the apps for the thermal camera, and a play store wrapper to make it easier for non tech people to find construction / farming related apps.
battery is "non removable" but im fine taking the phone appart if it needs replacing. (one website claims it is removable, but i think its in error, phones still on preorder)
Zachary Walker
If you're going that far out of your way to buy something expensive wouldn't you want at least something, you know, good? I mean if it fits your use case that's great for you, woohoo why the fuck you'd need a thermal camera on a smartphone is beyond me though
John Lopez
Caterpillar makes phones? What the fuck? And I thought finding Caterpillar brand socks was weird.
Aaron Lee
If you want a phone with good durability, might as well not cuck out 600$ but rather buy for example the blackview-bv5000. I am saying this as a Swede, cucks.
Brayden Morris
>work in security >can take thermal photos of keypads after use
>do electrical stuff on the side >want to see what componants are getting hot in troubleshooting
>do mechanical stuff and post on /diy/ at times... building a jet engine currently, can be useful for identifying weld leaks on flame tube, or problems in the oil system.
>use it at night in a google cardboard like headset because hurr durr durr night vision is cool
i mean, how do you NOT want a thermal camera on your phone...
Caleb Cooper
Found the fag with buyers remorse.
Brody Johnson
Not OP but I would take lots of thermal images of my dick
Brody Fisher
think of how thermal imaging porn would look...
Oliver Diaz
....right
Not really. I don't understand why some fags on Sup Forums seem to think that everyone on this board is not happy with their purchase. Fucking ridiculous.
(You)
Anthony Fisher
>Thermal Camera Have fun with your shitty resolution and slow camera shutter speed.
Carter Williams
thermal camera is VGA resolution at the sensor.
optical camera is 1080 / 13mp.
it does image recognition to overlay the thermal over the video accurately, so it has good granularity and doesnt look like a blob.
>next question
Andrew Roberts
>Sup Forums is one person
You may be right, but be honest with me, you do own a flagship smartphone® right?
Jaxson King
>flagship and a good case
Ugliest shit ever.
Ryan Peterson
The fuck is wrong with you stupid fucks.
Asher James
What's wrong with autists like you?
Christopher Bennett
How's CAT with software updates? Phone will last but for how long will it be supported?
Another thing I don't like is flat back and lenses that are leveled with it, way too easy to scratch even during normie usage.
Jaxson Perez
well its running fairly stock android, so i assume its going to be updated regularly. wont know til i get there.
fingers crossed that its an unlocked bootloader, so i can AOSP / cyanogenmod it and move over the flir apk's if it doesnt get updates.
James Russell
not just getting a Fluke-279 and then getting a phone that's actually good.
Julian Parker
>spending retarded amounts of money on fluke shit
tell me more about your life user. i enjoy comedy
Jordan Morris
Take it further and also get dedicated dslr, so much better than built in phone camera.
David Ross
Weird troll. >non-removable battery >six year lifespan lol
Benjamin Ward
because opening a phone is so hard...
my previous 'flagship' phone was a nexus 5, and i ended up replacing the screen twice, battery once, and micro usb once. these arent hard things to do user
Matthew Robinson
>non-removable battery
Hardest thing ever
Eli Rodriguez
You don't need to spend a ton of money to get a tough phone
Colton Brown
> what you think Sup Forumsentoomen? Sounds exactly like this is only a good deal if you need a thermal camera, and that's only assuming the thermal camera works really well (I guess it would?)
Otherwise, a $180 Redmi Note 3 Pro basically beats this hands down, as far as I can tell.
Waterproof for 15 feets / up to 1 hour isn't useful. That basically really just means you can drop your phone in shallow water briefly, but you can actually do that with a great many phones.
What's more useful is if it can remain constantly submerged or survive rain as bad as it gets indefinitely or whatever.
Anthony James
>tfw seeing the phone I own on Sup Forums
Noah Bailey
you can use the screen with gloves, and when its wet... seeing as i am moving to seattle, and currently ride a motorcycle, these things are important.
also, the redmi doesnt have NFC... and its android 5.0. but yes, specs are fairly similar.
but... its not out yet...
Joshua Robinson
I'm european, though? It's already selling here for about 750 euro without contract.
Granted, it's hard to find and quite expensive, but that's not the point.
Evan Stewart

Joshua Diaz
BUYING PHONE FROM A CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT COMPANY
Levi Sanders
just buy a $10 nokia if you want le rugged phone xd you stupid shit
Daniel Morris
This makes me wonder who actually built the damn things.
Angel Powell
>not a B100
Logan Edwards
oh, how do you like it? biggest annoyance?
Jason Nguyen
It's pretty hot.
Robert Powell

Ethan Richardson
A broken screen a back (gs7) after dropping it once looks so much better amirite?
Who the fuck chooses a phone based on looks? Do people really value form over function these days? What the phone looks like is at the absolute bottom of my list of priorities when looking for a phone, given its ergonomical.
Jordan Sanchez
> seeing as i am moving to seattle Looks like you will have ~15% less precipitation per year than we do. Doesn't sound too problematic...? And yea, I'm outside quite often too.
That said, I guess that's an okay feature if it didn't come at the cost of input precision.
> the redmi doesnt have NFC Haven't even once thought that I wanted to use NFC even when I had it.
Josiah Parker
it drizzles so theres not much rainfall but its almost constant
i also have an nfc chip in my hand, so its a feature i would like to have
Ethan Lewis

Ryder Barnes
I just did a free "upgrade" to an S7 Edge and it's coming in the mail, but now after looking at all the specs I now realize it's the ultimate "fuck you" phone basically designed to break and fail.
>no removable battery >repair-unfriendly glue design >"edge" feature means the expensive curved glass screen goes out to the edge so you'll flipfondle it into faceplanting on the concrete OR just bang it on something so it cracks >glass is purportedly not replaceable independently of the screen
I bought a super heavy duty case and a protector for it so I won't get fucked, hopefully, but man I bet the Samshit execs are laughing their asses off about passing off this planned breakage/obsolescence fuckup waiting to happen as an "upgrade." It really is designed to fail.
Gabriel Garcia
Try living here for 25 years and realise we don't want you faggots here. Weather is fine 80% of the year
Jackson Kelly
Normal phones are rain proof you fag. No need for a waterproof phone. Heck, I use my Opo in the shower, just not holding it under the beam.
Bentley Taylor
The thermal camera would be the only reason to buy this, but then you would probably be better off buying a real one. Why are thermal cameras still so expensive?
Gavin Lee
ob du behundert bist?
Josiah Cooper
>not an actual picture
0/10 scam alert
Connor Rogers
They were making phones more than 2 years from now
Wyatt Cruz
> wants it to last 6 years > battery is non removable
Aaron Nguyen
There is no such thing as a non removable battery
Ian Johnson
Normie non replaceable battery should be the term.
Connor Stewart
You sound so fucking pathetic
Carter Fisher
I kinda want it. I just wish I could put something other than shitdroid on phones. Like let's say a linux distro.
Adrian Turner
isn't there some mobile ubuntu version you can just flash on most android phones?
I mean come on, do you really think that a phone made by anyone other than Apple, Samsung, Oneplus, Huawei, LG, or HTC will work out at all? Don't you know they have all the good phone patents, and makers in the world?
And all the girls are gonna think you're poor, and like to ride nigger cock! Old dirty bastard nigger cock! You don't ride nigger cock, now do you???
Shitposting aside, with generic phone OS' abound whats the advantage of an iphone or samsung over this?
Christopher Watson
Nothing
All the people itt shitposting about how this was a terrible purchase are just remorsing fags pissed because they decided to pick the popular option despite their being better things on the market for the same, or less, price.
Kayden Gutierrez
Pathetic
David Flores
at the start of the year i got a S5 for 300 dollaridoos, did i get cucked to death?
