Dude, I liked your review and some of the energy of it, but the constant waving around made me nauseous. Maybe consider less frantically waving it around quite so much. I do appreciate the review though
Thanks for the feedback man. I honestly appreciate every bit of it on what I do, especially on the bad stuff that I do. I will keep that in mind for my future videos and I'm also looking to use something more professional for video recording. Thanks once again for your feedback!😃
The amount of homeruns I've hit with this phone is astonishing. I was never good at baseball until I got this phone and the odd shape of it somehow lends itself to hitting homers !
I've done it deliberately to emphasize the fact that it is a rugged phone, and it seems to be doing pretty well. I know it may seem like I'm acting careless with it, but it's just to show that it does its job pretty well in terms of ruggedness. 😅
Yes, I did this purposefully to show its best feature, and that is of course its ruggedness. I know there are some people that dislike what I did here, but after all, this is a cheap phone that's meant to withstand things like scratches, drops... and so on. But yeah, glad you liked it!😃
Thankyou very much for this vid. Im a 17 year old guy whos just gotten way to sick of my smartphone life. I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. It's an amazing phone I enjoy using tremendously...however, I do find addictive habits with it that I wanna get away from. This phone seems like the perfect buy for me because I can still operate it as a basic android phone, just using email and messenger and such, whilst also enjoying the vintage feel! Nevermind the fact that it also very strong and I am a criminal for dropping my phones in the past one too many times. I am still going to use this incredible phone at home for video making, creative projects, video watching and video call, but I wish to use this phone when I am outside so I don't have something to completely distract myself from the real world and I can push myself to be more social, more in tune, appreciating life and not wasting it on a mere screen. Just bought it a few days ago and I'm pretty convinced I got it from the same seller as you. If that is the case, I am glad to see that it will probably function well. I hope you enjoy using it and I look forward to a new lifestyle.
Glad you liked the video. I totally agree with the fact that people nowadays spend entirely too much time on their phones. While smartphones do come in quite handy so that we can speed up various tasks such as sending an email, getting some information over the internet, going from point A to point B etc., I'm willing to bet that people spend most of the time on their phones just doing casual nonsense. I hope you can find the exact sweet spot of balance in your life when it comes to technology and how you use it, because there are way too many more interesting things to do out there. About the phone, probably the same seller who knows (I paid like 69.99 usd open box - unlocked), but this phone can definitely take a beating (and I think I may be the only one in my city if not in the entire country using this model, as this was made only for the US initially). It is not the greatest phone out there but considering its price, I can say that I'm pretty satisfied with how it performs. I'll probably start to dismantle it just to check what's inside out of curiosity. But anyhow, I plan to make more weird reviews in the days to come, so you can subscribe if you want to see more. Have fun out there!😃
I own the cat B 25 and it was having trouble picking up my voice discovered what it was .. the mike hole has a membrane over it on the inside to prevent water ingress i presume i actually pierced it and now it works fine and people on the line can here me but the water resistance is probably nill now
I use PDF Reader - Hi Reader downloaded from google play. It can rotate pdfs (actually using the auto-rotate function of the phone). So yes, you can.@@Arcsand
Hi, I'm not browsing alot on this phone and the banking apps that I use are pretty rock solid in terms of security. If you're careful what links you access and so on, I think that you should be alright. Obviously a new android version will in theory have better security features but I really don't mind. Again, I'm not doing much internet based stuff on this phone, the number of apps that I use are minimal. Basically that's the purpose of this phone, for me at least. I try to use it as little as possible. 😃
Most rugged devices like walkie talkie rugged smarts us older android for battery life and you won't be using as much apps on these devices typically like 9 or 11 but still get it's regular updates for security
Have been considering to get this phone last couple of weeks. Great way to be finally digital minimalist. Every morning when going to work in a subway, I would say 95% of people are just in their smart phone.. It gets us so addicted to. Like , wondering, do we really need to spend this huge amount of time with reading something on, be on line all the time? Funny era.;-) So nice to see from time to time some people reading a regular paper book!-) I am so jalous about that LOL Definitely I am gonna get this one. CAT is a synonyme of quality for their machinery and equipment all arroiund the world. Small, beautiful and useful phone, and at the same time this one has everything from big ones, Android 11. So texting, calling, whatsapp, internet browsing for something quickly. What else we need? Thank you for this video review.
You are right about people spending so much time on their phones. One would think that after so much time spent using technology we should be surrounded by superhumans by now. And yet with all the available tech stuff that we have and use, 2 wars are ongoing, we're all in debt, pollution is rampant, society is becoming more and more biased, easy to manipulate and more divided than ever, at an individual level, people became stunningly egocentric, selfish, indifferent and whatnot. I could go on with this but I think it'll do for now... All in all, it seems that we're not doing so great, and I hope that we ought to be looking a little more at ourselves in a mirror rather than at an image on a screen after it had been edited to flush out our true identity with all the normal imperfections that we all posses. I guess the most logical follow-up question should be... Are we even human anymore? I may wind up making videos about things that truly concern our lives on this channel but we'll see. Now getting back at the phone stuff, keep in mind that the screen is quite small and typing is somewhat difficult on this phone, if you compare it with a standard smartphone. Now I don't want to tell people not to buy it, but just to make sure they understand what they are getting themselves into. 😃
I think you're talking about battery life? If so, my usual schedule is to charge the phone either in the evening or next morning and with a charged battery on moderate usage it'll drop to around 30% at the end of the day. I didn't get an extra battery though...
The phone has bluetooth and you can connect it to any bluetooth device (e.g. car kit, headphones, speakers, etc.). So yes, you can use bluetooth headphones when using this device.
Does youtube stay playing after you close the flip? It seemed like that watching this but jot sure... Be cool if it played a playlist without having to open it every time
is there a headphone jack ? If the answer is no.. Then can I use a bluetooth neckband and talk to people while the flip is closed ? Or do I need to keep it open even though I am talking on a bluetooth headphone ? Kindly help.
There's no 3.5mm jack for audio, instead you get an adapter from 3.5 to usb type C. As for bluetooth, it works with bluetooth headphones though if you fold it, the conversation will close. I haven't found yet a function that will keep calls ongoing if you close the lid. But then again, I think that folding the phone back with a smack on the lid is the greatest feature about this model 😆
@@tiberiumaxim thanks for the reply. I usually have long calls due to the nature of my work. If the screen stays on all that while... I think battery will drain like anything. Planning to get it from Canada to India 😊
. @chiragojha7311 With pleasure. For instance today I spoke with around 20 contacts totaling around 1-1:30 hours. That plus some light mail and internet brought the battery down to 30% late evening
I have a unihurtz atom, as a novelty, and hilariously enough, the cat on screen keyboard actually looks better. The cat screen is wider, but not as tall.
I don't know if it is better, though it is a tiny screen compared to a regular smartphone. However, it seems to be doing quite well in terms of durability vs. scratching.
While this phone with its small screen is not going to replace the benefits of the larger screens on my Pixel 6 phone and larger tablet, I have been able to read emails and even books comfortably on it. And also access apps I use when I need to, which is nice (albeit slower). Typing with the small Gboard is far from smooth but helped by the word suggestions that appear. Not as easy as with the Pixel 6, so I dictate whenever I can, which works well. An issue I have is that the caller on the other end sometimes says they hear an echo of their voice. Especially when I use the speaker. Is that something that happens with you?
No issues there with the echo but I 8/10 times i can't use the speaker feature. Also if I press it against my shoulder when in a phone call, I lose signal and the other guy can't hear me well. Other than that, I randomly hear a sound just like windows notification sound when in a phone call. I find this last thing to be very strange.
only why you are 'rude' with this cuty phone...;-) By the end of your video I have just ordered LOL thank you for this great review. Cannot wait to get it from Amazon.
I merely wanted to point out the most important part about this phone. It is a rugged phone and I honestly believe that this is where it truly shines. The rest is sort of "meh", but it is a solid phone when it comes to ruggedness. Good luck with your phone, and I hope you'll enjoy using it!😄
Salut! Pentru încărcarea telefonului folosești vreun adaptor/transformator avand in vedere că telefonul este făcut pentru piața din SUA si acolo merg pe 110v? Nu bubuie dacă îl pui in prizele de la noi?
Salutare! Nu. Tensiunea la care te referi e pe priza. Ce iti vine de la priza e convertit in DC (curent continuu) cu chargerul de telefon. Poti folosi orice incarcator de telefon care duce cel putin 2a teoretic desi mai toate telefoanele noi au protectie de suprasolicitare a chargerului. Se poate conecta si la usb fara probleme. Mai toate chargerele de telefon sunt gandite sa traga si 110 si 220.
To funny ...." It wiggles a bit and makes a sound when I flip it" u thew it and flung it 10 times in the first 10min of video, if u treat ur stuff like crap it's gonna loosen up😏
By default they say that it has corning gorilla glass 5 as screen protection, which is quite nice. I don't have a separate screen protector, but I'm pretty sure you can find one on the internet. The screen seems to be pretty resistant to scratches and so on, though the physical buttons will leave some marks on it due to pressing or sitting on it because sometimes I forget my phone in my back pocket. But other than that, the screen is pretty resistant.
Some of them yes. But there are a couple that are being seen as sys apps or something and I didn't bother about them, and they don't use that much aspace anyhow. I switched back to a standard smartphone recently because after more than 6 months I just had to go back to a normal smartphone due to work and projects. But it's an intriguing little phone.
My reason was to point out the obvious. And that is the fact that this phone is a rugged phone and it'll handle a few drops with no problem. I consider the ruggedness to be its most important feature, and hence this video. I'm sorry if it annoyed you, but that's the reason in a nutshell.
So big and still no headphone jack! Why are they so evil? And then you put one of these always faulty USB dongle adapters on the side and you cannot pocket it anymore because it sticks out the wrong way. Absolutely unusable. Garbage.
@@porvoonosho I eat microwaved food and I don't care lmao. I have Bluetooth headphones, but they suck in comparison. I prefer to not be constantly switching between different Bluetooth devices. Having to think about charging them is annoying too. CAT could've done it, but they did not want to do it and that's unfortunate. I won't buy it.
but this phone is just not for you.;) it is really for someone who wants to be more digital minimalist. for me it is great and it s way much more time for really useful things: rrading book, relax,sport, getting rest after computer. i sleep better;)) as i m not in phone hours;)
Probably because they couldn't really target a certain segment of potential buyers within the US. I don't know really, I'm just guessing that it didn't pan out as expected and they weren't willing to venture in or simply didn't see other possible markets for this phone, outside of the US. And the phone is really mediocre, in a sense that if you were to spend 200 dollars on a phone you could get some of the cheaper smartphones out there that perform better overall, except the rugged part. Still, it is a remarkable phone to say the least... I personally dig it.
@@lsanchez1822 Yes indeed. We are required to use smartphones and I know that sooner or later I will have to go back to a standard smartphone to keep my productivity at a decent level. However, I'm happy to say that, besides the work-related stuff, I don't really need a smartphone. I've actually had my social media accounts deleted a very long time ago and I don't miss them at all. Life's good for me even without them, I meet lots of people, have a lot of friends and I simply enjoy life the way I choose to... Now I'm not against social media apps, but I don't like the way they influence most people's lives. I just don't like where all this is headed towards, but maybe its just me. 😆
Lazy review….like some drunk guy that’s broke and extremely unsatisfied with his recent phone purchases….”damn all I wanted was an iPhone for my birthday and ended up with this…burp”😂
Hey there. I guess if you had read the video description, you would have known the fact that this review wasn't meant to be a "sober" one. That being said, I pointed out exactly what people need to know about this phone, apart from what you can obviously find on its datasheet. Now, in respect to how I did it, ok, I appreciate the feedback and it could have been done in a more professional way. Probably in the future I will refrain from doing silly material though I can't make any promises. Now I could have filtered this comment out, but out of curiosity and fairness, I chose to keep what youtube considers negative comment filtering disabled to see the entire picture of how people view what I do. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate any piece of advice and/or feedback. And I encourage people to say what they have in mind. And finally in regards to the more personal aspect of what you wrote there, I'd like to assure you that my financial status (not that it should be anyone's business) is pretty ok, I don't need an Iphone, and I wasn't under the influence while recording this. I bought the phone just out of curiosity and if I didn't manage to make you understand the real motif of the clip, then it's my bad. Anyhow, thanks for the feedback and good luck out there!😃
Bacause of your reply to @qmachado6555's comment, you earned my respect and my sub, Please don't change this kid of attitude because not a lot of people are as level-headed and objective. Kudos, @@tiberiumaxim. I am planning to buy myself a CAT S22 flip for a much simpler and minimalistic life. Thanks for making this video. Keep it up! Cheers from the Philippines. 🤝
He actually says some really detailed out of experience things. like when he did that the other person won’t hear u if u put ur phone ur shoulder and talk… etc, some things that u won’t find in the the statistical reviews.. this is just how’s ur friend’s realistic review will be like, which is better and real imo, statics are everywhere.
