I am rough on phones, I am looking at the CAT S-61 phone, anyone have any personal experience with it. Don't use my phone for anything other than maps, pictures, and a few basic apps. Don't need a very fast phone, but this one looks nice.. https://www.gsmarena.com/cat_s61-9076.php

LifeProof cases have done wonders for me.

Thanks, I carry the phones in my pocket, so cases usually make them so much bigger I usually don't like them. We just ordered the CAT 61 phone. It has the thermal, laser measurements, and air quality. I think all these features will be so great for work.

Hopefully it has the apps that you actually use.....

Yes it is a android, and has the play store. One of the best for battery life also.

One of the boys that works for me had an early Cat phone that had problems. I haven't heard anything about the latest versions. I have had pretty good luck with cheap Samsungs with otterbox cases

Read some bad stuff on the S-60, but so far the S-61 seems much better.

I carry mine in my pocket. That said, it sounds like the CAT61 has extra features that you also need.
