As a Cat employee.. We do not make these. Someone else makes it and slaps our name on it.
thammuz
I was waiting a while for its release, then saw that it would be $699... Decided against it, got a Moto G4 and FLIR One for $300, instead.
RandyReady
Moto G4 is great phone. Especially, for the price
thammuz
Totally agree.

The thing that sells this for me is the inclusion of ACTUAL FUCKING BUTTONS INSTEAD OF THOSE BULLSHIT TOUCH ONES.

Exceeds military expect ations does that mean it's tougher than a Nokia 3310?
ilikepicturesofprettygirls
This means it can withstand a drop... not drop a fucking building in it's footprint.
thundercactus
Exceeds military specs, not asteroid impact testing.
RedBeardedTrucker
Don't be silly.
JackRusselHarrier
When people say "military grade" I chuckle because real military grade stuff is usually a piece of shit, the military just pays a high price
thundercactus
Can survive a drop from 6m instead of just 3m. So it's like, twice as good as a "rugged" phone lol
JetMarks
Except we don't pay a high price. It goes to the lowest bidder long as we get a contract. Only thing overpriced is parts.
odraencoded
The thing is, the lowest bidder still bids high because he's doing thing for the military and you got to pick one bidder in the end.
pogon
On the other hand, stuff that isn't military grade can also be a piece of shit.
JackRusselHarrier
Yeah but the general public is always swayed so easily to consider buying things that say military grade.

You guys so realize that a blackberry is within "Military Specs". It's a cell phone, does it call things? Yes? Woo! Within Spec.
GetSendyWithIt
Yeah but my blackberry is also a tank that has survived multiple drops from various heights onto concrete, as well as vicious animal attacks
unholypond
That one sounds like it works too good. That's outside military specs.
HairytheSheep
6ft drop tested and 100% waterproof to 16ft deep. Touch screen works when wet, which no one else does that i know of
unholypond
It works while wet? Damn, I want it now. I have the S5 and that pisses me off, I get it wet and can't do crap.
fenrishero
I own one. The thermal has proven a great tool, and it's solid as a rock. Cons: Mediocre bluetooth audio and the headphone jack cover.
lDontWanna
What carrier is it for??
Darkspire
It doesn't blow up and it has a headphone jack, which is something I never thought I'd have to say.
HelloMax
A jack cover? I would actually like that. Mine gets so packed with dust things won't plug in. I sand stuff all day most days of the week btw
samv6271
also own one. Can't stand trying to plug it in in the dark, the USB cover is so hard to get off haha
Spifflelight
What's the range when using the thermal camera?
pogon
Different owner: I don't know, I've tried it as far as 100 feet or so, but it might vary with range of temps in view.
ThattBiggie
Damn, farther than I thought
pogon
Example of space heaters outdoors:
ThattBiggie
Holy crap. Okay, that's fucking awesome. Can you see people in the dark at distance like that?
HouseOfEvil
BUT IT HAS A HEADPHONE JACK YES?
pogon
Since I never use either of those things, I hadn't noticed that. Screen is hard to type on when wet, is what I've noticed.
Flurshy
That's a symptom of how capacitive touchscreens work -- water sets off the sensor the same way your fingers do.
pogon
Since "works while wet" is an advertised feature. That said, I have never gotten an iphone as wet and tried to use it.

$600. I'm guessing this seller is gouging and advertising here.
argetbrisingr
The link is through canadian newegg, which is why its $800.

I may or may not have realized this far too late. 33% markup still seems a bit much for CAD, but maybe tariffs too.

You say that but look up the price of a thermal imaging camera. There's a phone add on for $330 or handheld for $810. Smartphones are (1)

It comes with $200 headphones so it's actually of equal value. The problem is you're paying for headphones you likely dont want.

CactusMassage
My phone was $45, but it won't survive a 30ft drop or being left at the bottom of a pool. Still works though so I guess it's military grade

Military grade has no meaning. It doesn't have an actual quantitative measurement. Just marketing bullshit. Military grade cotton candy.

MILSPEC has meaning and if it's met, it's generally decent quality (though worth checking which spec). Military "grade" could be anything.

It says it has a non-removable battery. Why?
HexiHamaski
Because easy acess to the battery by the user would also mean easy acess to the internal workings of the phone for Water and Dust.
BigAdam
Most phones seem to be "non removable" now. Meaning its glued in and you need a screwdriver.
Cheomesh
Lets you economize space by getting pretty wild with battery shapes.
RepostSadistic
because the battery IS non-removable. Truth in advertising.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
because if you could remove it, that phone would actually last 10 years. manufacturer's nightmare.
ThorVonBlitz
No kidding, i am still on my Galaxy S2 - only maintenance was a battery change so far. As long as it works, i'll continue using it.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
not bad! though to be fair, id actually be wary of using a phone that old, because outdated androids are pretty insecure. did you even get >

Another S2 owner here. Custom repartitioning (for more app space), and running Cyanogenmod. Didn't even need a battery change yet!

If the thermal is that good this could be really useful for mechanics to diagnose a variety of issues. Sincerely, an interested mechanic
ElTbonesteak
A good FLIR camera is 50K, i wouldnt expect a ton from this
spanielCraig
What if you're trying to turn the tables on a certain predator stalking you through the jungle?
reptim
We use this phone at work. I was pleasantly surprised with it, and the thermal camera works great!
namiasdf
If it's good, it's expensive. Just compare it's resolution, both spatial and thermal against stand alone and their prices.
MisterLemons
You can get thermal attachments for android/apple for $200. Look for "Seek thermal" or "Flir one".
IHateCaptchaCodes
I dont have FLIR on my phone, but I've used an app to send a cheap phone's camera to a smartwatch - very useful for repairs in tight spaces
ufretin
It ain't :P Just bought a Fluke TiS65 for work and the image is 260x195. The biggest model has 320x240. No mega anywhere..
ITotallyShouldBeWorkingRightNow
Should be useful for finding my dog's poo in the dark among the fallen leaves.
marsgoose
You can buy that camera as an otg dongle, there is andorid and iphone version.
marsgoose
CAT phones are made by manufacturers of generic smartphones and tend to be on the low end as far as build quality goes.
orbobb
feel free to check out SEEK thermal, they have little usb connected things that stick to your phone and give exceptional thermal imaging!
BlowOnItAndStickItIn
You could even use the thermal imaging to see the keypad numbers pressed by the person in front of you at the store.
astromek
Was thinking that to. It's already being used that way with iPhone "shells" with thermal imaging. Extremely subtle way to do it to.
BlowOnItAndStickItIn
That's what made me think of it. I'm paranoid and touch all the buttons every time I use a key pad.
astromek
I wouldn't count that as paranoid, but rather "aware". OTOH, security is something we teach our customers, so I might be paranoid myself.
Igotbannedforspammingthatstupidparrot

AWolfWithShades
Or a Seek Thermal
MisterLemons
I have the Seek Thermal that I got half off at my job. $125, wasn't passing that up.
FreyaNicci
I have one and the resolution is not the best.
MisterLemons
Yeah, but the seek has a FAR better temperature range.
youcantproveit
I've been considering this phone awhile, but the FLIR ONE is a great option for 1/3 the price of the phone. Attaches to any cellphone.
SOGGHD
Yeah but this phone is for tradespeople, hence the really large battery and really rugged design
youcantproveit
I heard the Gen1 was actually pretty easy to break. I understand the demographic, but it does the trick on a budget.
Burghguy
I heard it's based on the same tech as the FLIR ONE.
joosukka
Yes, same technology. Flir Lepton sensor.
Burghguy
There ya go. Thanks for confirming. Still a nifty toy that's going on my Christmas list.
DerpyDoom
Except blackberrys.

I didn't know that Blackberry's were still a thing. Apologies. I know they work for iphone and android phones. (I rly thought BB went under)

Struct engineer here. I've seen it in use. It's nice to have it on a phone, but limited in resolution. There's better dedicated options.

In any situation, the best camera is the best camera you have on you. I carry my Nexus everywhere. The FLIR sits on the truck.

Thats what I thought! I loved how they showcase it as a working person's phone and having an actual use
chefryank
But does it have a 3.5mm headphone jack?
BobTheSwede
Good for viewing what pincode the person infront of you entered.
SfMason
Useful for checking if brakes are seized, blockages in the cooling systems.. Lots of things, Plus I'm considering this to be my next phone.
DankMimesRUs
Well apparently it's "fucking thermal imaging," so it's really best used for fucking.
mikeatike
I am going to assume there is thermal imaging porn out there.
mikeatike
Dammit, I had to check. Of course it is on @PornHub.

This would also be useful for water mitigation techs for finding sources of small leaks. Sincerely, an interested Mitigation tech

I work for a telecommunications company in Alaska that sells it.It works really well! We even put our hand up to it and it read 98.3 degrees
fuckyouandyourwittyusername
You can buy the FLIR thermal camera for any smartphone already.
dan10026
I work in water damage restoration and these FLIR cameras work really well
generalfoley
FLIR makes a separate camera attachment for most phones, if yer interested.
Virtuoso
I'd use it on motherboards and compare good vs faulty.

There's also the FLIR-One add-on item to existing iPhone and Android. http://www.flir.com/flirone/ios-android/

Its a flir, so really good. But i think its the same sensor used in flirs smartphone thermal adapter thingy, which has a really low resoluti
DerSubhuman62
I'm gonna go all Predator and shit with that thermal
BackOfTheClasss
We use Flir at my flexo print shop and it can show a worn bearing on a machine well before it seizes. It is good shit!
weeshful
As a mechanical engineer in Alaska, I would use it for construction purposes
slappindatitties
As an HVAC technician, GIMME DAT PHONE!
HamGrenade
or someone like in the water damage cleanup industry
scooterific
Whoa there look at the price first
Tikityler
Its your typical new phone without a plan cost. I wonder if any carriers offer it. Though if you want the thermal get a "seek thermal"
fenrishero
It's not super precise, temperature or location wise, but looking for hot or cold spots or flows, its more than good enough.
dillesss
I work in data centers and this would be an outstanding phone to use and own.
ThatSplainsItLucy
Electrician here, have used the FLIR that attaches to iPhone and it's pretty cool. This one maybe looks a little better.
oddmog
So I may have been stuck doing simple new gigs for too long.Is this just for checking rubbish joints and possible insulation fails?
ThatSplainsItLucy
Yeah, loose connections, and looking at power and control panels and stuff.
Kromerag
Can it see my farts!?
MyPeskyClownBoner
Unfortunately, thermal cameras simply don't work like that. Gas isn't dense enough for any cameras to pick it up.
mikein3d
We have a flir camera at work for looking for gas leaks. I work at a gas plant. The camera is like over 100k
SyntKei
Seeing as how farts are made of gas expelled from your body through your asshole, they would have some heat to them. So yes.
ImgurCensorsFreeSpeech
Nope, not enough density.
paddycakes
Asking the important questions
scttrgd
Sadly, myth busted... Can't find the actual episode
MisterLemons
Tried it, nope.
poorwhitetrash
Might need a mirror but it will show up...
poorwhitetrash
Come to think of it, the FLIR would only read the mirrors thermal signature now the reflected image.
asciiwave
Heat gets reflected too, but from my experience it only becomes prominent in the shorter wavelengths.
codpeace
Ok I'm sold.
Lowland
No but you can smell them
ovelanimimerkki
Buying an 800 dollar phone to see your own farts, still a better reason than buying one as a fashion statement.
Codiferous
No need to spend $800: http://www.flir.com/flirone/ios-android/
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
I'd rather get the phone tbh
TomPocoTomBien
In the event someone absolutely, positively, categorically can't bear another walking moment without being able to see their own farts.
drwarp
Still a better love story than twilight...
TomPocoTomBien
That's still cheaper than an emergency room visit and skin grafts for the amateur organic chemistry buff.

The video is fake. Not the phone, I understand.
JohnDahl
It's not fake, it's a real phone. I've been researching this phone for a while trying to decide if I want it over the iPhone.
ReadySteadyYo
That's not real at all.
Plemeno
Its from an SNL sketch with Hugh Laurie as a Ghost Hunter
ohmygodimonfirewhyarentyouhelping
Yea was gonna say it would look nothing like that unless you were naked, the ass area would just get a little warmer
mybrothersmario
also that's not the direction it would go in, even with the cheeks completely spread.
ReadySteadyYo
Other comment provided proof of, but anyone who has farted damn well knows the ass gas don't work like that. I be visualising this shit air
fuelpergallon
Microbolometers don't compete with Si pixels for size. There's a 0% chance the thermal imaging is 13 MP
imgurnaregretthis
Maybe it's a high res micro-calorimeter and the phone is two billion dollars
imgurnaregretthis
In all seriousness tho the resolution for thermal image mostly comes from the visible light camera so it might be 13mp (with low accuracy)
StrangelyCalm
It's FLIR thermal, microbolometer tech. Not just mechanics, great for electrians and even carpenters (can help find insulation leakage)
Pickingnamesishard
Hellen Keller would love this phone.

How would she see the display...

As an electrician, FLIR is awesome, I love the hot/cool spot feature
mywutangnameisarrogantambassador
I use the flir iPhone attachment as a Home Energy Advisor, great for locating leaky spots and poor insulation.
SteveNotSteve
Cool phone, but I guarantee you that no carpenter cares about the insulation quality of a house, unless it is their own.
sckilljoy
This is true
MAXXOUT
But I, the insulator by trade, do care about it

tbirds569
And pilots searching for targets on the ground. Great for search and rescue operations
Lapkin
I seriously doubt that there is a sensor with decent resolution in the phone.
marsgoose
No, it has the shitty flir lepton, it's good enough to find heat leaks in your house and stuff like that but not much more.
TomPocoTomBien
Like lost gerbils that might of squeezed themselves into a hiding place they can't get out of?
liquidbeef
I seriously doubt it has that kind of range
AsSeenByMacaroni
And medical professionals!
liquidbeef
In what way?
Toxidrome
in physically injured areas the blood circulation will rise, therefore the temperature and the IR radiance.

Yes, as a carpenter I am very interested in this phone. I like everything about it. What hasn't imgur taught me?

You can see your pee in the dark, which I think we can all agree on is pretty nifty.

Oh, heat radiation! Here's a clip with water being filmed, at around 8 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfUzKcAcX0Q :)

Body radiation? I am fairly (100%) certain that urine will be visible if/when temperature outside is +-5 degrees from human core temperature
