Finally. A work company made a work phone.
Right???
Them made them in the early 2000’s. CAT and Jeep both had phones. I need one of these for my dad. He’s in his 70’s and he refuses to use anything but flop
CATs been making phones for a while. Kyocera has too.
LOL I remember seeing a CAT smartphone in like 2013. It had really crappy specs even for the time, tho. Would probably take 30 min just to open the browser.
That thing is a POS. I bought it over a year ago as a minimalist phone and the thing crashed all the time and it wouldn't even receive calls. The only reason I got it was because it had RUclips and Google maps but it was pretty worthless and everyone thought I was a drug dealer lmao 🤣
I like how they call it the S22 so now i can tell people I have an S22 FLIP
That is the first thought i got when i saw the name too😂😂😂
Do anybody want to accept Jesus christ as your savior he want to give you love and joy and happiness and salvation and eternal life if u confess your sins
The days of removable phone batteries... How i miss them
Facts
fr back when I would take out the battery put it back in and mysteriously gain +1 charge
apparently they are bringing that back.
Read somewhere that the UE/EU will mandate all smartphones will have removable batteries. Had a old samsung and kept 2 extra batteries. Today have a OUKITEL F150 that lasts a whole week charged. When travel affar a external back up battery for several phones and tablet. But need a rugged phone with built in GPS, signall free
Phone companies should make those kind of phones so people can use this to fight against phone addiction.
They want you addicted though lol

I’ve been thinking of using this phone instead of my smartphone because I have a serious addiction to it

@@Tonyriverx just delete all the apps that bother you. Turn the screen black and white. No need to spend more money.
All I do is take a detox day and focus on physical projects I need to get done.
Having a smartphone when you're out and about can almost be a necessity now. GPS and paying for parking. I hate it, but it's becoming a reality.
finally a weapon that looks like a phone
It's funny how not having basic features of a modern phone is a feature
The weapon your trying to use it will blow the entire universe 😅
Like that a big feature fir me Barely use a phone anymore , need a blackberry and that be nice.nowaday you just block the world out
i mean, the iPhone lacks many basic features and yet people still buy it
It's biggest feature is limitation, giving you everything you need, and nothing you don't.
This is not for the modern fat American male, taking selfies in the bathroom and spending hours on Tiktok. This is for the working man.
Exactly, can you imagine if a phone company did something like getting rid of their headphone jack but still raise their prices?! Insanity
I bought this for my dad and he loves it 😀.
Price?
@@khaledkibria2434 less than 100 USD on eBay
So they say it only works on T-Mobile but it’s not on thr site. 🤔 how does that work?
have you found out?

This phone makes me smile because if my dad were alive I know this is the phone he’d have as a construction worker. He passed away when the iPhone was coming out but he stuck to his flip phone till the end!
I’m about to pick one of these up and the selling point for me was the waterproof at 5 feet and the drop test at 6 feet. I work on a golf course and deal with water A LOT, plus if this falls off a piece of equipment or something I’m not going to panic.
I’ve yet to hear anything bad about this phone
Update: I’ve put this phone through it’s paces. The plastic will scratch somewhat easily on concrete (for obvious reasons) but otherwise it has held up tremendously. Absolutely worth it.
I know I can't wait to get what I'm so excited!!!❤
Smartphones are so fragile.
One drop of sweat. Drop it 1 ft and it doesn't work
@@Phuck_YewOr you can use a rugged case on a regular smartphone. Some of them are actually good.
The sonim is WAY better and has equipment ports and a send/receive radio function.the cat is just an equal competitor.
I have one question. Does it have a good amount of storage space? I want to use it mostly for music. I want to get rid of my smartphone.
@@lsanchez1822 somewhat, though it does support an sd card I believe up to 64 gig. I haven’t needed to use one yet and I’ve added several apps and a fair amount of photos and videos
I ordered mine and it gets in tomorrow! Saying goodbye to smartphone. Goal. Get my life back.
And? Did it work?
FYI, it’s a huge phone
@@PetrusK-qp3ub He can't reply he's in the Amazon jungle hunting tigers
Doing that today. I’m done with smartphones. On to something better now
@@PetrusK-qp3ub If it DID work they wouldn't be able to reply anyhow 😂
I'm about to get one for social media break
Same but it also got all social media features 😅
yer gonna need fairy fingers to use said social media tho.. so..
@@juanschuster9685yeah but itll be so hard to use them that its nowhere near as easy to get sucked in
Why don't you just delete social media like I did 😂 (at least fb anyway) (and don't just deactivate it you gotta delete it or you won't be disciplined enough to not sign back in)
Just uninstalled the apps that's what I did
Star Trek TOS had it right with the style of their communicators - it's hard to beat the form factor of a simple flip phone!
Beam me up Scotty
@ciyoduhkriter, it's funny, but they never say that during the entire series
I'm going to surprise my dad with this phone for his 85th birthday.
he has an smartphone but he always speaks so fondly of his flip phones of the past.
In reality all he uses the phone for is maps and making calls. I think he will like it, it took me a bit of time to find an android flip phone.
And it’s $70! And it has a really long standby time. Apparently about two weeks. It’s great as a secondary work phone.
whats standby mean?
Means on but not being used.
I bought a new one and trust me its doesnt last more than 2 days on standby
@@Ahsanmalik3456 lasts way longer than that for me, but any apps running in the background can reduce it drastically.
And as a primary work phone in rugged or outdoor environments
this is like "old Thinkpad" equivalent of modern flip phones
A good half way between a smart and dumb phone. It cut my screen time down to only chill time on my tablet, but I can still run audible and my banking app on the go❤
"temper your expectations"
my dude, i just ordered one from mint solely so i could move away from straight talk. i HAD NO expectations, so all im hearing is gold, lol
It's really funny to see the dialer show up even on a phone that has a numeric dilaer on it.
I use it as a daily driver. Excellent ergonomics, especially for calls
i really want this phone, it looks cooler than the smartphone
I think social media has gotten so toxic that this might not be a bad idea. It may be time, to go back in time.
Thanks for the info. Loved the pupper barking. LOL
I rocked this phone for about two months and I gotta say it's very fun. It's not really fast or precise enough to swiftly use social media so that's a plus, and it can be TOSSED and THROWN all the time for comedic effect when people gawk at your flip phone.
Walkie talkie zello
I use a 40 dollar flip phone for work (can't have cameras so I drilled the camera out to keep my personal phone intact) and honestly in terms of reliability it's great, it does exactly what you need it to do and nothing else. But sometimes I do wish I had an Android phone for stuff like banking and music apps, this might be what I wanna look into.
Not so dumb, kind of smart. Haha that's me, minus the smart
was listening to this video in the Background and heard the Dog, thought it was outside my house and jump immediately to see if my cats are okay.. ahaha
Haha. Sorry.
Weird
i watched this with headphones on in a library . when your dog barked , i thought there was a dog behind me.
🤣🤣
Im looking for a phone that i can use to quit my smartphone addiction do u have any suggestions for a new phone?
The programmable key can be used with a PTT (PoC) app like Zello.
wooow. love it!
where to buy?
I just got mine and love it ! PS I just wanted a flip phone and everything else is a Bonus , I’m a stay at home student 😅
What cell service are you using i can't find a service that works for this in 2023
A cell phone meant to do what a cell phone was originally created to do. Plus a few perks lol
Just ordered it
well i still use Motorola w355 this year bro and it's fun haha
I currently use this 😂
I find it amazing that calling or simply talking with people is such a hassle to select people. I prefer talking with people
I have a couple of questions, hopefully you see this in some way shape or form:
Firstly, what is the audio quality like on this phone? I'm looking for a dumb/flip phone with spotify capabilities, what would you say is the audio quality on this device?
Secondly, considering I am not the main audience for this particular phone, would you recommend this phone for people wishing to quell their phone addictions? I am currently in need of a new phone and it may be a good opportunity to fix my habit; if you do not recommend this phone for that purpose, would you happen to know of other phones which could do the better job, albeit with some features like cameras, GPS, audio/spotify, etc.?
Thanks in advance!
I love it we all should buy them until prices drop..
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope they make one with a wee bit bigger screen, I might not be able to read anything on that micro screen
*Bro my heart got crashed because of the dog🤧*
Lol. She is a sweetheart. Just loud.
Wdym?
As a kid, my definition of a smart phone was if it had the ability to copy and paste 😅
That’s not a flip phone that’s a smartphone that looks like a flip phone
Does it flip? Is it a phone? It’s a flip phone.
@@mattythetechy1 flip smart phone
What is the best old style flip phone in your opinion? Im looking for something with gps and bluetooth. Good call quality and wont shut off randomly.
the camera is actually really good tho 😭
This short popped up for me as im on my s22 flip. Honestly really love the phone, super cheap and durable and does everything i need it to. Im a farmer so this phone gets tossed around and wet, muddy, greasy, etc and it doesn't care
I have this phone and have been using it for about a year now. I really love not having a smart phone. I got this one since all the other new flip phones are cheap feeling, I wish it was a little smaller. But I am a girl with little hands and this is made for blue collar men who need a meaty phone lol
But it is nice just having a phone that is ONLY for calling and texting.
Hi, does this come with a hotspot feature?
@@achintha8963The CAT S22 Flip is a rugged flip phone that runs Android 11 Go Edition. It has a Snapdragon 215 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. The phone supports 4G LTE connectivity and can be used as a hotspot, allowing other devices to connect to the internet via WiFi. However, its hotspot capabilities may be limited by the phone's processor and network speeds.
How difficult would texting be for an elder with arthritis?
I’d like to try one of these phones out, looks fun! How is it “not a really a smartphone” though? What is it lacking? It runs Android GO does it not?
Bro's like "Calls are so last year"
Can the “action button” be used as a push to talk button for the Zello app or any app that uses push to talk? The phone looks like it has an older version of android, so I’m assuming not.
Beam me up, scotty. 😂
Everything is okay but the battery back up is not that enough.
Can I use the keyboard for WhatsApp for example? Or it just for the text message and call app ?
Keyboard is across the OS. So can be used for ajytjingb
I just need a phone to call, text and email. Can't wait to get mine tomorrow to get rolling. I death scroll far too much. 😅
I would have loved if it had qwarety keyboard
you coudl proably change that in the settings, it runs on android so its very modable,
This would be a great phone, but I am missing some features. Mainly dual sim.
Can it run a hotspot for a tablet and can I text using another device through it?
This would interest me as well
I love me some T9. Fast as lightning yee yee
I love these, can you plug earphones in it?
How I wish I had purchased this instead of my ordinary slab phone, which is all right but this Cat is extraordinary, bringing nostalgia combining with forward thinking features! This WILL be my next phone, down the line. 🙏♐
Set the action button to a sound like locking a car. That way when you leave a meeting you can act like your forgot to lock you chair you just got out of.
I have one thy dope
From German point of view based on the progress of Technology with phones this would be called a 'Crossover'
What happens even the old OS no longer updates?
Dustproof, waterproof, funproof
If only they produced a dual sim version
I am bewildered how and why there's no audio jack. The usb adapter dongles always have issues and imagine plugging on the side and putting that in your pocket... Evil design. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. :(
ok so im thinking of getting this phone and im just wondering one thing that i cant find anywhere else so mind as well ask you, can it run messenger and whatsapp, kinda need those to text family and friends, so could you please make a video it you can
Sure! I’ll upload that soon, make sure the notification is on so you don’t miss it.
Yes you can do both
@@mattythetechy1 oh yea for sure
The dog barking got me scared sounded like it broke into my house 😭
Work man’s phone
Can you switch the SIM card for a iPhone onto the cat 22?
id love something like this but cute. i dont need ultra waterproofing but the idea of a dumbphone with gps and is flip is kind of unbeatable..... maybe one day ill switch over
HELL YEA BROTHER
Bugged up if using geometry box type of phones....thank God some sensible phone by sensible construction company..., samsung, apple and few high-end phones pls learn...I am getting this one❤
does it support spotify?
does it have no aux input?
Where can i buy?
The only thing missing is the walkie talkie buttons
Me, if I were a phone.
Best smart/rugged/flip phone ever, but to expensive too 😅
You want compassion here's compassion 👌
What phone service is good for is it good for straight talk
I thought of buying this....its a good social media detox phone...but it's actually a lot weighted phone...
It's meant for rugged workers and those who damage devices. Weight will for sure be a factor
Got Spotify ?
He said HEY
I thought my dogs were barking for a second then remembered that they were right next to me then thought did someone break in with a dog then saw the dog in the video (it’s night and I’m in bed)
I am about to live 😅 this design.
I thought the dog was my husky..😭
Can it run the Lyft driver app? :O
as a girly with no workie i bought one 💕
Too smart for me, give me a kyocera 😂
Hello!🍀
I was wondering if you could tell me more about this phone? I need a new one as my old smart phone is so outdated i can't even use email or maps.
So my question is, how outdated is the phone? Idc for social media on a phone; i just want some basics like email, maps, translate, browser, speech to text, dropbox or similar to transfer pics, maybe a few puzzle/word games and google lens but i could live without those last 2.
I'm also worried of it being not supported in like, a year because it's honestly hell not being able to use basic functions on my phone.
I also live in Canada so I'm worried about it not working here.
And are the batteries easy to find if i need to replace them?
I know this isn't a smartphone but I've hated smartphones for years, but like some of their uses; but i terribly miss the cool look of flip phones as well as buttons!🥺
Sorry for all the questions, but i really appreciate any help you could give.🌻 And if you can't, no worries i understand!:-)
Also ty for being honest about this phone, it's helping me decide what i should get!
I’d rather call than text, I’m 25 years old as well so imagine that 🤯😁
I need a komatsu one,
Rip marv
Question: i primarily use youtube to listen to music and podcasts (i have youtube premium so im able to lock my phone with audio still playing). is it possible to close the phone and still listen to youtube audio? thanks!
It does still play sound when you close it, I believe you don’t even need RUclips premium for that feature
Yes it does I have tested.
@@MomentsByKatyou do need premium, I tried it and it worked at first but then it never worked again.
I really like the phone, may i ask does it have the earphone/headphone plugin? Probably not, tho i found some headphones that can plug in the charging place. If anyone knows some nice flip dumbphones with earphone jack, feel free to recommend, thanks in advance
No direct headphones jack, but you can use a USB C adapter
@@mattythetechy1 How about earbuds with Bluetooth?
does it have a Hotspot option?
Does ot have slot for Sim card?
Oh my god I want this phone so bad
