Revolutionary Thermal Camera
It incorporates the highest resolution thermal sensor to date in a smartphone, FLIR Lepton 3.5, which offers an increase (up to 4x) in the number of thermal pixels and professional-grade results. Combined with FLIR's VividIR technology, it provides improved image quality, as well as higher clarity and thermal resolution.

Personally, I work in construction with dust, mud, and other things that wear out a phone faster. After 1.5 years of use, the battery barely has 40% after my work. It has fallen many times resulting in the metal casing being deformed all around. As for the thermal camera, yes you have a thermal camera, which not all phones have, but it is quite slow. If you are getting it for the thermal camera, it is not worth it. Now when I got it, it was around 550, the new model costs less and rightly so because as for its software, it is old. After using CAT phones for 5 years, I had to switch because they were not satisfactory enough in performance compared to simpler phones that are not rugged. A good case and a good screen protector instead of spending 550+.
To be clear. If you want a thermal camera with a satisfactory refresh rate and resolution, it's perfect for its price. However, if you also want screen resolution, processor, speakers, radio, waterproof, lightweight, powerful, and coffee-making capabilities, then it's not for you.
I've had it for 3 months, I use it daily for photovoltaics, and it has saved me.
It's heavy, it's sturdy, the screen isn't good in the sun, the battery lasts two days with one card, if you don't center the microphone, they can't hear you, it doesn't have good noise cancellation for external noises, and the speaker is just okay.
In conclusion, if you don't need the thermal feature, it's a mediocre phone.
Very bad phone for its price.
I don't sound good on calls, so I constantly have to aim the microphone at my mouth.
It's heavy in the hand and the battery is not great. The camera protrusion on the back is problematic. It can withstand drops, but the aluminum frame around it quickly gets deep marks and bends at the corners.
The biggest complaint of all is the software, which I find terrible. It is unacceptable for a device that costs 500+ euros to not have the ability to show call history for someone who has called you multiple times in the same day. It is also unacceptable for the camera app to make you consider purchasing a 1.62 euro monthly subscription to have all the features when the previous one had them all with the basic app 8 years ago. The thermal feature is what you expect, but personally it doesn't help me much because the maximum temperature it shows is 120C.
My previous phone was the CAT B15Q, which lasted me 8 years and still works, but it doesn't support apps for its Android version anymore. I don't think the S62pro will last 4 years considering the problems I've seen in 3 months.
In terms of performance/speed, the phone is not surpassing phones in the 200-250 euro range in any case.
Reliable, stable as a smartphone, but the battery has small capacity.
The thermal camera it has is experienced on its own.
Unfortunately, there is a small range of famous rugged phones in Greece. I hope Caterpillar makes the necessary corrections/additions in the next model.
