Put a 5.5" screen in this thing with a bit lighter reinforcements in the chassis to lower the RRP a bit. Same specs everything else and then watch it fly off the shelf. Dare I say it it'll even make Redmi Note 5 break a sweat. I like the design that's how a tough smartphone should look like.

AnonD-744321, 06 Apr 2018why all rugged phones are expensive?
CAT S60 is justified because of the thermal camera but w... more**sigh**
Because there is use in NON CONVENTIONAL MATERIALS. In these devices, kevler polymer, with high grade rubber for absorption of shocks, and carbonated buttons for heat, and the digitizer is mega sensetive. It has to reach the level of woking with THICK GLOVES. These things cost a fortune.
That's why.

Kind of okay specs.
OIS on the camera? Nice. Photos matter when you are on site nowadays.
Often these rugged phones neglect to provide an actually decent phone underneath.
