It’s refreshing to see I’m not the only person with this problem. I’ve wanted a flip phone for a while and I just had a breakdown last night so I’ve been looking for “dumb” phones with smart features in hopes of getting my life back together. Im gonna buy the S22 flip as soon as I get the chance lol
I was in a very similar spot! phones rob life! I still need discipline, but every time I use it reminds me of my decision to swap to a easier phone. where do you live, I know buying these phones can be a little hard sometime! thanks for your comment also!
I have the same problem. I am at work right now and cannot keep my eyes off my phone. I was looking at the Cat 22 for a while and searching for reviews and yours is the best so far. Here in Quebec, Canada it's 130$.
I am in the same position as the rest of the world ..I'm putting my necessary apps on this , then will use it as a WiFi hotspot on my fire tablet when I fancy a bit of web browsing ...but it will definitely stop me just picking up my smartphone and losing hours on end ...it's the future for sure ...
Fact: if smart phones didn’t exist the world would be a better place. People’s mental health would be significantly better and people overall would be more social.
agreed, so lets reverse. we live in a world where the "Leaders" are pushing a "Smart" life. its very hard to live without a cellphone, IS it even possible in the day and age?? very crazy! so lets reverse!
Bought my Cat yesterday gets here today. Got it for $96 american! Thanks for your review really helped in me deciding to make the jump back to 'smarter' phones. I went 9 months with the light phone and I am ready to introduce a smarter device into my life
wow! that is pretty cool! thank you for mentioning that! means a lot! I love gaining my life back! it has been amazing, and its nice to see that others are being impacted! you rock!
Hey man, great video! I was searching around about this cats22 device and your video popped up. But then it became more than that. I too am struggling with this digital addiction life draining stuff. And your video just inspired me to make these kinda (but not exact :v) dlog vids, maybe just for me, to document my one last run to make life better! And i wanted to thank you for that! THANK YOU! (Also, the ending was a banger. Haha. I love combat sports, i mainly watch mma and.. professional wrestling.)
Bro!! What an encouraging comment! Thank you so much! That phone changed my life. But to be honest. I actually just broke mine, I was Charging it with my MacBook charger. And I wasn’t thinking about it… fried it :( so I’m trying to get another one!! And bro keep on pushing! Life is worth improving, give it time… wait the improvements out! It takes some time before you see benefits from what you are changing. I’m loving making good decisions, life is so much better and so worth living. Keep on being a absolute LEGEND! YOU GOT THIS!! unlearn modern ways of life! YOU DONT NEED A IPHONE
Great video bro. I'm from Chicago but was just in Wellington for a few weeks. Really beautiful place! I'm in the same spot: Want to spend less time on my phone, but also cognizant of the fact that completely removing every single "smart" function off the bat would hinder actual important aspects of my life. Plus, I think it encourages iPhone relapse. Cheers!
far out! thats awesome, yeah NZ is great. im touring the whole of NZ atm! hmm, the cat phone has everything an iPhone/smart phone has. so if I really need to get things done on my phone. I still can, just a lot harder! so I do bring my laptop with me most places I go! so its a balance and im loving having a simple life
Thank you for being the only one to mention fb messenger! Thats the only thing that was stopping me from getting a flip phone as hardly anyone txts and most people i know hate whats app 🙂
The Cat S22 is exactly what I'm looking for! Here in the US they're selling really badly so I ordered one for 60 bucks! I can't wait for it to get here!!
Available on Amazon for less than $70 U.S. My battery life using it primarily as a phone and reading emails is several days. Lots of screen time lessens probably that but as I do not use it that way I cannot say how much.
$70 is great! I find at the end of some days I am around 70% battery, so it isn't that bad! but when im having a busy day it sometimes struggles to keep up! lol
Love the video. Love the Kanye and Kim wallpaper. Super close to pulling the trigger on a dumbphone myself. They lowkey scammed you charging that much. Just looked it up and its on sale for $85 CAD. Disappointing hearing about the battery life though you'd really expect it to last longer.
Shoutout Kim and Kanye. Yeah low key scammed. Just got my second one. Still using iPhone for work emails etc. got my second one for $150 I’m over in New Zealand. They are kinda hard to come by
I felt the same way, sick of spending my life on an iPhone. Sold it and bought the cat B26 but it's a dumb phone nothing else. Going to switch to to the cat s22 now thanks for the review. I need maps and Spotify so this is ideal for me.
It costs 100 USD here in India. It's a very good flip phone, was on look out for motorola's Star tec the 90s phone but thank god the cat S22 came along
Just this from ebay, I currently have a Kyoceria Dura XE flip phone but life is slowly becoming harder without apps or maps so I figured this will be a good compromise
Oui depuis tes fichiers il y a un onglet audio donc ça peut marcher comme ça, sinon une application tierce pour lire tes fichiers audios et les ranger en playlists rendra l'expérience meilleure! C'est l'avantage du google store tu trouvera forcément ce qui te convient@@sarahton270
Mindlessly scrolling is making me sick. I can't just put on app timer (just turn them off since it's an addiction) I've never been good at methodically going about things, slowly weening off time etc...I hope this helps not plopping down and losing myself for hours. Getting my CatS22 running today!
This video is super helpful. I have one concern: I am a heavy Spotify user. I HAVE to be listening to my music but I keep seeing that the battery dies super quick so I’m concerned. In your experience will this be an issue?
its really nice to see people push back on the smart phone life, I think people are realising that phones have to much control over us and the CEOs want that...
Exactly this. It's a convenient distraction used to 'occupy' the mind from the more serious distractions around them. It's such a relief to see the younger generation waking up to the fact these devices are actually doing more harm than good. Yes, I'm happy with the S22, especially now I've downloaded a T9 keyboard app so I can also use the keypad. @@tobymakesfilms
Thanks for the vid. So close to buying one of these for all the reasons you gave! Tried one of the KaiOS phones but the software was awful. Can you dictate messages with your voice on this?
Reviewers mentioned that the phone comes with a pending update. And on trying to update after a long download, it ends up getting stuck with error. And this update-error cycle goes on, making the phone completely unusable. Kindly inform if such update issue happened with you too. Is it in fact worth all this trouble?
Just ordered mine yesterday, only wish it had better battery but I got it for only $200. Basically i wanted a flip phone with spotify, I'll keep my s23 for the camera but im done with social media
Hi! I want to buy this phone but need to be sure I can listen to music! What cable do I need is a mini jack allright or do I need something else to let it work?
I use blue tooth! but the phone should come with a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can plug wired headphones in! I use Spotify also! works really well! not speedy, and it easiest if you just click shuffle and go! but give it a shot! I love the phone! totally get one!
how’s the battery life when using Spotify hooked up to a Bluetooth speaker or headphones? I usually listen to it all day at work hooked up to a speaker so if I can still do that I’m making the switch. Appreciate the video man, you and I think a lot alike about all of these modern devices wasting so much time
Hey man loved your video and I got myself one. However I've encountered a HUGE problem where I am unable to make normal phone calls on the phone. Does this happens to you as well? I'm located in Adelaide. Thanks!
Not really? I can still make calls. I had something weird happy yesterday where I wasn’t receiving calls or texts which sucks. But I usually don’t have problems making calls
sorry, just seeing This comment now! its not too bad! I wish it were a bit better. but I can have a phone call! sometimes I just ask people to speak up! and its not too bad
@@cherchil nah mate, you just wait until the comments roll in about how sick your phone is. its so worth the swap. it still is a smart phone, so doesn't make life harder, just is less convenient to do easy iPhone tasks, but you will start to notice the days getting longer, thats just cause you dont have your face planted in a screen! good luck! its so so worth it
I broke my last one. I have a new one coming. Hopefully the last one was just buggy and the new one is good and works well. Otherwise it must be a cat thing. The battery stopped charging and turning on
i am on the same boat. spending 4 hours a day on social media not including other apps. deleted everything a few minutes ago because i was going insane. looking to detox. already bought the cat flip. this video confirmed i made the right choice.
it is a smart phone! so YES! It is obviously a very small screen, but every app is useable! just more difficult to use! I have used the electric scooter hire app, and it works well! I dont use uber so cant give you an answer on that
Repeat after me Jesus christ I recognize that I'm a sinner and I want u to forgive me for my sin and write my name in the book of life in the name of the father the son in the holy spirit amen pray to keep the connection with God fasting to let all the desire of the flesh die reading the Bible because God talk to us in different ways and form by reading the Bible and going to church because the word of God come hearing it u do this four things and the holy spirit will do the rest
Do anybody want to accept Jesus christ as your savior he want to give you love and peace and happiness and joy and salvation and eternal life if you confess your sins
