Cat S60 vs Blackberry Keyone

Powered by FLIR, the Cat S60 is the first phone yet to include a thermal imaging sensor (the second camera on the rear). This means that it will be able to accurately read the temperatures of your surroundings.

For most users this won't be much more than a use-it-once gimmick, however out in industry this can be very useful for maintenance crew checking on bearings, pipes or other temperatures.

The S60 is expected to be rated at a submersion distance of 5 meters for 60 minutes as long as you've locked down the device (flipped the switch). It's unclear yet what this switch does.

The Cat S60 claims to be drop-proof up to 1.8m

The 12MP primary camera uses the same Sony IMX378 sensor found in the first Pixel which takes some of the best pictures out of all smartphones. The Keyone's camera performs especially well on outdoor pictures while in low-light pictures it's still good but there's still some room for improvements.

The large 3505mAh battery can last up to two days on a single charge. Even under heavy use it should still have quite a bit of juice at the end of the day at least.

While most phones ditched them, the Blackberry retains the physical keyboard. The QWERTY chiclet style keyboard also acts as a trackpad. The small buttons does take some time to get used to, but can lead to better typing accuracy compared to touchscreen keyboards. The space bar doubles as a fingerprint sensor too.

The phone's built-in DTEK monitoring app constantly monitors how vulnerable your phone is. It scans all the installed apps for potential malware or unwanted permissions. It also checks and installs the latest security patches and prevents unwanted access to the camera or microphone by third-party apps. Phone data is fully encrypted and the internet data goes through a VPN when browsing the internet.

The device can be set up so that it can be tracked remotely or swiped clean. You can set up two factor authentication that requires you to use a password and a fingerprint scan to unlock the phone.
