CAT S22 Rugged Flip Phone Unlocked (16GB) 2.8" Touchscreen Smart Cell Phone Android 11, IP68 Water Resistant, 4G LTE GSM Single Sim (Black)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It met the mark of what I need for my kids. I bought 2 of them. It's rugged, it has android and a touchscreen so that they can use the basic apps but nothing crazy. If a new a model comes out, I'd eventually upgrade to it after these phones run their course. There was a battery issue with one of the devices, but I hit up the vendor and the issue was resolved with a new battery being sent free of charge within days. 10/10 would recommend the vendor and devices.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked up this phone because it promised to be durable and make phone calls. Unfortunately, it doesn't do that very well. As you try to dial it lags considerably causing you to double type numbers or miss digits. I bought this to be a dumb phone, and all I needed for it to do was to make calls and maybe text. It was constantly getting bogged down by the simplest tasks.In addition, it required me to regularly reboot it because it claimed that it could not read my SIM card. This phone fails at the most basic level which is too bad. I really liked the idea of it being a flip phone that would give me a break from social media and other notifications.

While it is locked to T-Mobile it works great with tello. That is fine for us but someone expecting it to be unlocked will be disappointed and frustrated because if their cell service uses any other towers than t mobile the phone will not work and they will have to take time out of their day to return this. Soo I have to take a star off for saying it's unlocked when it's only half true. This phone only operates on T-Mobile towers and that should be clearly stated.As for the phone is very cool. The touch screen is great. I had to change the keyboard settings so it does not use the swipe feature otherwise it over responds to every touch. But once I disabled the swipe feature it worked perfect. Easy to navigate screen. Very solid rugged feel too this flip phone. I purchased it for my 15 year old son. He's pleased. Great phone.

Just as my title suggests, it’s perfect for both situations.I’m currently in the process of unplugging from online life little by little. This phone is a perfect in-between option.I downloaded a t9 keyboard for free that works great.Battery lasts about 2.5 days. Sturdy and heavy which is good for my line of work, fits a 128 Gb SD card so you can store music or whatever.Corded headphones would have to be USB-C as there is no 3.5 mm output but it does have Bluetooth as well.I tested the Bluetooth and it works well. Walked across my house using it after leaving the phone in the kitchen. Great phone. Hope they put out a new updated version that’s a little slimmer cuz she’s kinda thick.

On the surface, this phone looks like it would check all of the boxes for a digital detox lifestyle. For the most part - it does. Solidly built, water resistant, and it would appear to be straightforward - but is it?After using for 2 days, I found the phone to be more of a distraction and a detriment then a positive experience. It gives you just enough Android to make you feel that you're getting a complete package, but good luck if you try plugging it into your car - there's no Android auto and that is a huge deal-breaker for me.Additionally, even with the volume turned all the way up, the ringtones are very quiet and easily overlooked. The phone isn't just slow - it's painfully slow. Good luck trying to load anything with it as it takes forever to process. Then there's the issue with storage.Nowhere does it say "hey, you should probably consider getting an SD card before transferring your stuff." You really can't do that because you have to set the phone up first before you can activate storage on the SD card. This means you either screw up your transfer process, or have to omit many items.All in all, if you are looking for a very simple phone - this might be a place to start, but day in and day out use is very frustrating. You can't do everything from the keyboard, so you have to use the touch screen or voice to text.If you know your limitations, I think it could be a good phone for digital detox lifestyle, but don't count on using a day in and day out without running into several frustrations. It's a shame, because I had really high hopes for it.

Very good phone! It's easy to use, worth it for the price, the size is a bit bulky yet very durable with is what I wanted and is what I expected according to the shown picture. Battery life isn't amazing, but not bad... It lasts more than my old phone so it's amazing!

I had this phone for a couple days. I had to return it because it’s not worth the 60 bucks for me right now in college when I have a working phone. But I will be buying it when I graduate. I really do like this phone. It’s the perfect tech detox phone and has everything i need for work like teams and outlook. You can import all of your contacts and transfer all data pretty easily. It has a spot for an as card to expand storage. Also it’s caterpillar brand which is cool. The screen is nice and functional. I could hear calls and whomever I was calling could hear me. I am excited to buy this phone again in the future.

Great phone had one before great for the job site. Rugged works good good battery life .but the seller sent me a locked phone . T mobile tried hard but couldn't unlock it .not Tmobile fault .sending it back to Amazon , at least they take it back so no harm no foul but be careful and hope you get an unlocked one
