Great work phone
By Dena Christie on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019
I've had this phone for a week now, using it with dual SIM cards, AT&T - TMobile it has been flawless so far. The battery is incredible with heavy use through the day and still had 70 percent after 14 hours. It's construction is heavy duty as advertised. The flir camera is a very handy tool in my occupation and works as well as the bulky MSA unit I've lugged around for years. The air quality monitor seems to be reliable. Haven't used the laser tape measure yet but expect it will be as good as everything else. The only issue I have had I would assume would be with all dual SIM card phones is reception when one carrier is not available. I've lost a couple of calls when it's searching for the other carrier. If I disable that SIM I have great reception again. I highly recommend this phone for anyone who works in construction, mechanical, building maintenance, and definitely first responder environments. This isn't just a phone it's a tool that will work when you need it and as someone who has broken a phone or 10 I am excited to have one built for me.

worst battery performance ever
By Mile High Mark on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2020
I bought this for the FLIR sensor, and that feature has worked great. The issue I have is with the battery and the company's to it. I have had to buy at least a half dozen charge cords for this phone because they just stop working. I have never had a phone that can go from a full charge to nothing in a few hours with no app running. Ive done a factory reset twice already, and twice ive had to reinstall my apps. Today, I looked and had 35% left on the battery, was surfing amazon, set the phone down and when I picked it up it was dead. I still have not been able to this phone. that was like 4 hours ago, I even went to the car and plugged it into the short cord supplied with the phone and drove around for a half hour to charge it, it never went above 6% and this is with it in airplane mode!!! I got home took it in the house to charge and in the couple minutes it took me to get in and plug in the cord it was dead. I could go on and on about the frustration this device has caused me. So a couple weeks ago I wrote the Cat Phone support team and in great detail explained the situation, I got what looked like a form letter back telling me to let the phone charge to 100% and let it totally drain twice... and if that didn't fix it then to do another factory reset!!!! When a company that knows it has battery issues does something like that instead of just telling you how to return the phone and get a product that actually works, It tells me that they probably have not fixed the issue or they don't really care about their customers. Now I did get another email from the support staff but since it was in Spanish I have no idea what it said. To be fair I liked the phone when it worked, but this has been going on for months and I have been with out a phone way too much for something in this price range. Im going back to Samsung.... I can take that right back to the store when it stops this one you cant.
