Cat S61 Phone

I owned the Cat S60 for a solid year. Was the best phone I ever owned. It was ultra durable and incredible battery life. The problem was it could get hot easily and a few cosmetic bits on it fell off easily.
I am no considering getting the S61. I'm wondering if anyone has one and could give me a review?
I miss having an ultra durable phone but that thousand dollar price tag for a phone that of course will be less capable than other flagship thousand dollar models makes me cautious. I know it will be slower and have a crappy camera.

I have an S60 on my desk at work. It’s like a brick. We passed it around the company testing it out for 6 months or so.
The main issue was it was under powered for the apps we make guys run. We ended up going to iPhones with really good cases. We get longer life out of them and far fewer software hang ups so it’s much cheaper to go that route on the company level.

I just picked up the Cat S61 a month ago. It is the absolute greatest. The picture quality is fantastic. The speed is fantastic. The battery life is outrageous. I've gone swimming with it and took underwater pictures no problems. Absolutely love the phone.
The camera is definitely underpowered.
The speed of the phone is vastly superior to an S7 but I don't know its speed compared to 2020 flagship phones. It appears to be lightning fast though I'm sure the newest iphone / samsung are faster.
The battery life though makes me giddy. I youtube'd for a 10 hour bus ride and still has nearly 70 percent left. You just dont get better than that.

I've been using the s60 as a wheel stop for my computer chair at work. It's pretty good at it!

I had the S60 as well. It was pretty slow at a lot of things. The S61 is here to save the day
