Cat S22 Flip (16GB) 2.8" Touchscreen, Android 11, IP68 Water Resistant, 4G LTE GSM (T-Mobile Unlocked for MetroPCS, Global) (Black)

Slow but damn cool

Item was not new. i did not get refund

The phone works well on my network in Malaysia, Maxis Mobile. It does not however work with Digi Mobile. The phones screen is clear and sharp. Text are clearly visible and the touch screen responds very well. I love the portability and hardiness. No fears when using outdoors.

I used to be in the habit of always reaching for my iPhone whenever I was idle. My iPhone was terrible for my mental health, and I wanted a phone that was a utility, not a perpetual attention-suck. So I decided to get a flip phone. But I wanted one that still had the basic utilities I use regularly: messaging (WhatsApp/Signal), GPS, wireless hot spot, 1Password, Spotify, etc. At the same time, I didn't want something I liked too much or that was too inviting to use, because then I'd reach for it all the time. Enter the Cat S22. It's perfect. First of all, the thing is a brick — a far cry from the sleek, thin flip phones we used to have in the early aughts. So I usually keep it in my bag or something, not in my pocket. Second, it's got Android (albeit a stripped down version called Android Go), so I can download any app I want. I have the basics I've mentioned above, and I'm not even tempted to download e.g., Instagram or Facebook, because the screen is so tiny and the phone is so clunky to use that I'd never want to use those apps on it. Third, it's slow as hell. I mean, some screen taps take full seconds to register. Google Assistant on this thing is a joke — most of the time, it's faster to just do things manually. It completely gets in the way of idle usage because it's such a freaking pain in the ass to use that you'd never even be tempted. For example, I'm still occasionally in the habit of reaching for my phone when I'm stopped at a red light to e.g., check text messages or something. But the S22 is so slow to switch between apps that it's starting to beat that habit out of me. It's worth mentioning that the integration between the T9 keyboard and the software keyboard is pretty crappy. Most of the time, I just want to do voice to text, so I just use the GBoard and click the mic icon instead of typing. One note in the plus column is that this phone is indestructible. I've dropped it a number of times and it's still good as new. Aside from that: absolute garbage phone. So pick one up if you're sick of being on your phone all the time!

Me encanto el modelo aunque es algo tosco la verdad me gusto que es práctico, en lo particular no me agrada el que cada vez aumentan más el tamaño de las pantallas en los móviles, por ello al encontrar uno que tiene la posibilidad de usar las principales aplicaciones de comunicación y funciona con la red 4G sin problema opte por adquirirlo. Además, para la actual situación del país (México) donde no se puede tener un teléfono vistoso es ideal para estar comunicado tanto por la vía tradicional como por internet.
