Rugged phone with thermal and/or night vision

[Silvanus]

Hi all,

I'm looking online at new phones for work and would like thermal and maybe night vision cameras incorporated. I know Blackview and Doogee do a few models with different specs and price ranges.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for these types of phone.

Cheers

Just giving this a quick bump as I know there are a few tech experts on here

I have a blackview 9800 pro - with the thermal imaging. I used it as my main phone for a few years but it's now relegated to only coming out for when a rugged phone is more appropriate than a normal one.

The thermal imaging was remarkably good, but ultimately it's a gimmick and the price of having that was that you got a buggy os that rarely got any updates and a terrible main camera.

Thats good to know as I will use it as my main phone and would need a reasonable camera.
