Having just run over my Samsung with the tractor, and my tiny Experia Compact's battery died (again) getting this is a no brainer if you work outside. Bulky can be a pro. No more thinking "Wait, have I got my phone?" - the sheer weight of it in your pocket confirms you have, no more patting yourself down to check.
Ive been watching your videos about the s22 the past few days, so in depth. And now just waiting for the device I ordered from Amazon US to be delivered here to NZ, free shipping. So excited to take back my life :D
Ha, thanks! There are a few others on the channel too, good to be meeting some fellow Fulham fans! Going to try the CAT with the new season tickets and make a video of that! ⚽️
This was a great video, answered a lot of questions i had about the phone! And you got straight to the point. You got yourself a new subscriber. And i ordered the phone, cant wait to try it out
Awesome review! I'm really considering getting one of these after my Iphone was stolen in London, which luckily i managed to recover! But looking to get something that doesn't have all my finance apps but still the practicality of apps like whatsapp. Just one question, would my sim card used for my Iphone 14 fit into the cat? Thanks again and great video!
What can I say? After disabling most privacy invading software (it will not allow you to disable Google Play Services), I mowed fields. These grounds are very uneven and shake your guts bad. The cell phone survived- absolutely no ghost clicking. I am impressed- this has become my daily phone. I might use my smart phone on the freeway. Maybe, but I was never into all that extra stuff.
I have talked to you before and now that I have this phone I been using it for a while now and I love it also the best part about the phone is if your touch screen won't work you got a keypad lol
Be mindful of the locale you're getting the phone with. I was sent a UK version from the German (!) Amazon store, and it had only English Spanish and French locale. Android doesn't let you just install other languages, and that means you also can't use T9 in other languages (you have to choose the Kika keyboard in settings, which will give you only those languages for T9 that came preinstalled - in fact, you can only type numbers on the hardware keys when e.g. the google board is enabled). I had to go through a lot of very technical fiddling, including adb, to get the German locale and T9 that I had signed up for in the first place (but I preferred that to sending it back).
I’ve been really considering this phone. But the down size is just the screen size. If they could just make it a little bit bigger I would totally get this.
Now that I've watched this review I'd have bought it instead of the Nokia 2780 I bought 6 weeks back.. For the same price, the Nokia has no touch screen, so texting is a big big pain.. I would have no prob with the dimensions of the CAT as the ruggedness makes it worth it.. The Nokia shows an earlier time on the front screen than the correct time on the inside screen (the old one then corrected on the front).. Navigating through 'settings' is irritating as well..The Nokia is OK. But I had no idea there was a flip WITH touchscreen.. You live and learn..btw: I'm typing this on a very nice functioning Lenovo Slim 3 chrome 14" I bought 4 weeks back. (I ruined my 5 yr old HP 14" chrome with a lot of spilled water ! (No, drying it out didn't fix it and repair would have been near cost of the new Lenny... Los Angeles, Ca. US
Actually I need a phone like this because this one is really addictive. I'm not even kidding. So as you done a series of feature phone , which is the best phn? 😊 I want to use WhatsApp only (primarily) . I would have chose this device , but it's really chunky 😢 So , Any genuine suggestions 😊❤
I'm currently looking as well! I wanna comment so I can also see answers under your comment. If I were to give you another option, maybe the Nokia 2780.
hi there, really enjoyed the review. do you have any recomendadation on a phone almost like this but with nfc google wallet, and perhaps a finger print ?
Hmm, I mean, are you looking for a flip phone? I've not tried them yet (waiting on an order, but the Japanese/Korean Android 11/12 flips seem to have what you need).
Hiya, thank you so much for these videos they’re great especially as someone from the UK!! I was wondering if this phone would work with any broadband provider?
@@bigboondabeb I actually brought it a few days ago and am using it with EE so far and it works great.. Getting my tescos sim tomorrow so fingers crossed :)
I have the Emporia, it is goof for calls and watts app. 4G works fine and WiFi. I was disappointed with BT, unreliable. It has storage but I was unable to use or see it. SMS fine. Internet is meh. The phone looks gorgeous, slim and light. Will see when I get the Cat. Emporia geared towards seniors.
@@ataboyboyboy8895 Ooh, I myself are considering getting the emporia touchsmart 2. Is it possible to install your own apk’s and 3rd party launchers on it? And with unreliable bluetooth, do you mean that it disconnects often?
Hi jospeh!! I just wanted more info about the battery.Sometimes it makes me hate the phone just for the battery.Can you just tell me shortly if the battery is usefull by using a single phone.Like,Will it help me betterly by only using that phone for long time? Thank you❤
The texting function is a nightmare, there is no way to use physical keypad for texting, just speach to text, wich might be good for english speeking but for me as german, i got a problem. It came with english and french preset.The speed while using it is decreasing in a matter of month even i got 50% of storage not used. Now like 6 month after , it is constantly turning on and off with the result ending in factory restore menu. That will kill most of your apps,fotos and keep the google back up data unharmed(thank god) all my contacts still there but whats app and all the other apps , gone.
Hi thanks for the amazing video - definitely interested in this phone but am a bit worried about your Spotify comments - what does it mean about only playing non-copyrighted music? Do copyright songs not play? What about podcasts? One more question is whether I can put an old iPhone 7 giff-gaff Sim card in? Thanks so much
Heyaaa, Ahh, that's my bad! Nope, all songs (and audio books/podcasts etc) from Spotify play as expected and as they should. The copyrighted comment was for my RU-vid and the fact that my video is then flagged as having copyrighted content, so very much a dull back end RU-vid thing I've pushed on the viewers! 😂 What size is the sim card? If it's a nano, which I think the iPhone 7 is, then it will work fine!
Hello! I've not been able to find an answer elsewhere, hoping you can help! I really want to be able to turn off vibrate on the phone but still get a noise for notifications. I have toggled off vibrate in the apps themselves and in settings and advanced settings, but it won't stop! My options are to mute all notifications entirely or else deal with the vibrate. Is there any way around this?? Thank you in advance!
I am trying to find an answer out for this, I've not been able to yet but am still giving it a go! Will come back to you if I can find a definitive answer.
Found your channel about a month ago. Ended back here from Reddit and looking at dumb phones. My only problem, is this phone going to work at Craven Cottage with the digital season ticket? COYW!
I think I’ve found my favourite comment ever! 😂 I’ve always wondered if anyone would notice I always look at Fulham stuff…bliss! That gives me a good idea for a video…coming to my channel when the season starts! COYW (and fingers crossed the return of Sess is as successful as we all want it to be!)
@@DumbphonesUKI had to double take when you pulled up Fulham Twitter! Instantly, you had a new subscriber. It would be great to see if it works in the turnstile. Where do you sit in the ground? Also, the announcement of Sess made my day yesterday. It’s been a rough summer losing Palhinha 😂
Yes indeed I have questions. I have a secondary service, phone service for only $5 bucks a month. You never know when your main phone is gonna be stolen, broken or simply stop working. With that being said. Extreme heat or cold damage everything. I have used old phones for this secondary service and I keep them in my car most of the time. I noticed the batteries die faster specially for being old used phones. Anyways. This phone being rugged gonna endure extreme heat and cold? The site doesn't mention anything about it. Any advice or experience sharing would be great. Thanks.
My global unlocked CAT S22 Flip 4G phone has all SIM voice call disabled after my telco operator just retired all 3G networks in my country. CAT S22 Flip has no VoLTE despite 4G. Therefore, it is a doomed phone if your telco is expected to retire 3G networks. VoLTE is the real 4G.
hi, just wondering how are the frequency of updates be it security/android go? i saw on a previous video of yours in the comments that it wouldnt continue to get updated
This phone is not a dumb phone..it is a smart phone disguised as a smartphone. Unless you have the browser disabled, same with you tube, and have no distracting apps on it.
hi! English is not my native language so if you mentioned it in the video I have not been able to understand it, can I use the mobile keyboard in WhatsApp or does it have to be the small keyboard that comes up on the screen? Thank you!!!💞
Hello 1.) what about phone radiation level ?? 2.) some reported the phone heats up a lot very soon & battery also drains out quickly ?? 3.) this CAT S22 is already nearly 4yr old model. what about Its OS Android 11 Go ?? is it future safe for coming 2-4 years from now !!
I hope you're doing well! I'm a video editor and I recently came across your RU-vid channel. I'm really impressed with your content and the value you provide to your audience.I wanted to offer my services to help you with video editing, so you can focus more on creating great content.
I guess it's a lifestyle choice, right? Some people love having a smartphone (I used to be one!) but actually I've started to grow tired of being connected 24/7 so am looking at alternatives. What phone you rocking at the moment?
Like saying people couldn't handle smoking addiction in the 60s. It's just the norm. Especially for young people, they only know a world full of smartphones and it is easy to get caught up in them. I don't think it's sad to see your own weakness and act upon it to improve your life.
