The 5 Best Smartphones for Construction [2018 Edition]

All of the major phone manufacturers have introduced their latest and greatest to the market, which means it’s that time of year again to roundup what I see as the best smartphones those in the construction industry can buy.

This year’s list is the strongest roundup of devices we’ve seen to date, so let’s dig in:

With a distinct and nearly indestructible design that can withstand drops and deep plunges into water, the S60 also boasts excellent battery life and snappy performance. But its marquee feature is a built-in FLIR thermal imaging camera. This camera displays temperatures differences in the world around you though 9 different filters which differ in the way they lay out cool and hot temperatures.

You can read my full review of the S60 here.
