_DW_ 628 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Since we all obviously don't follow the norm here for phones though I'd start a thread with some other devices out there which you don't normally see.

For €199 it doesn't seem like a bad phone to have as a backup... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCΛRECROW 57 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 https://www.catphones.com/en-au/cat-s60-smartphone/ I had a CAT S60 few years ago, a fairly typical ruggedised phone with mid-range spec, but with a FLIR thermal "Predator vision" camera and hardware navigation bar buttons! It was a colossal brick of a phone. but the thermal camera was very useful for work and around the house....considering getting an addon FLIR camera for my Pro1. Would probably be rocking an S62 Pro if the Pro1 didn't exist. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The camera looks really cool (it's not actually any use to me) but that would require stock android, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, no way to OEM unlock these phones. IIRC there was temp root at one point, but it got patched out pretty quickly. Haven't looked into development for these phones in a long time.

Well they are more business oriented phones so to be expected. I was having a look at them the other day tempted to have one just for the thermal camera but I don't really have a use for it though 😅 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do quite like the phones these make been tempted by one of the jelly/atom my self just as something to use when I go out and don't want a big phone with me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DieBruine 397 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) They also make an Atom L/XL (XL has puch to talk) which is a bit larger. I loved the Atom (regular mini) and am trying to get my hands on one again. Rugged, waterproof and very compact. I can only recommend one, ideal phone for when you're out. And even though it's not a phone, the GPD Win 3 is worth mentioning in here (I think):https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gpd-win3-the-world-s-1st-handheld-aaa-game-console#/ Edited March 3, 2021 by DieBruine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OKSun 103 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Is one of you an owner of a galaxy fold2 or a microsoft duo? I would be interested to see it side by side with the pro1. Edited March 7, 2021 by OKSun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
