  • Absolute piece of crap — AKA exactly what I needed to break my phone addiction. Five stars!
I used to be in the habit of always reaching for my iPhone whenever I was idle. My iPhone was terrible for my mental health, and I wanted a phone that was a utility, not a perpetual attention-suck. So I decided to get a flip phone. But I wanted one that still had the basic utilities I use regularly: messaging (WhatsApp/Signal), GPS, wireless hot spot, 1Password, Spotify, etc. At the same time, I didn't want something I liked too much or that was too inviting to use, because then I'd reach for it all the time. Enter the Cat S22. It's perfect. First of all, the thing is a brick — a far cry from the sleek, thin flip phones we used to have in the early aughts. So I usually keep it in my bag or something, not in my pocket. Second, it's got Android (albeit a stripped down version called Android Go), so I can download any app I want. I have the basics I've mentioned above, and I'm not even tempted to download e.g., Instagram or Facebook, because the screen is so tiny and the phone is so clunky to use that I'd never want to use those apps on it. Third, it's slow as hell. I mean, some screen taps take full seconds to register. Google Assistant on this thing is a joke — most of the time, it's faster to just do things manually. It completely gets in the way of idle usage because it's such a freaking pain in the ass to use that you'd never even be tempted. For example, I'm still occasionally in the habit of reaching for my phone when I'm stopped at a red light to e.g., check text messages or something. But the S22 is so slow to switch between apps that it's starting to beat that habit out of me. It's worth mentioning that the integration between the T9 keyboard and the software keyboard is pretty crappy. Most of the time, I just want to do voice to text, so I just use the GBoard and click the mic icon instead of typing. One note in the plus column is that this phone is indestructible. I've dropped it a number of times and it's still good as new. Aside from that: absolute garbage phone. So pick one up if you're sick of being on your phone all the time! ... show more

  • An Overview of the CAT s22
Frequencies: It has a lot of frequencies covering 2G, 3G, and 4G. Also, since it came out in 2021 as 5G was advertising, it has all the 4G fixings that some cellular companies denied phones for not having even when they had 4G. Additionally, it has a radio built with several country's radio frequencies as selections, meaning you could visit a lot of different countries and simply use the phone as a portable radio player without even connecting it to cellular service. It's not a HAM radio, but for a phone, it's pretty nice. Glass: Gorilla Glass 5 on both the inside and outside. Looking into glass quality, today's nice phones should have Gorilla Glass Victus. Curiosities: A flip phone with cameras on both sides and can be closed and put upside down which makes both cameras unable to gain any picture - you watch these movies of this or that specialist breaking into a phone and looking through the camera... not on an upside flip phone, lol. Guess that's why it's not in the movies. Hardware: The phone 'could' handle 3GB of RAM, but Google would not put Android 11 Go on any phone that had more than 2GB of RAM, so the CAT s22 has the cap of 2GB of RAM. The storage included is 16 GB, while the hardware can handle 128 GB MicroSD card, preferably the SanDisk High Endurance memory as specifically noted in other CAT phone documentation I read. When this 128 GB MicroSD card of SanDisk High Endurance memory is used, the choice to use it as an external memory source(not encrypted) or as part of the phone memory(safer because it is encrypted) becomes a choice of yours. Most apps and games and games will not run on the MicroSD card, but some will. The app game works like this, install the app, login, download whatever you use, then close the app, move it to storage and see if it keeps working(Do NOT do this to apps you need, like your Firewall). If it stops working when you try to run it, or when you try to run it after a restart, then it needs internal memory. Battery: The battery is not much smaller than the screen size, which is what you want today's smartphone battery to be, the size of the screen. Bluetooth is probably going to eat battery... certainly wouldn't be the first phone to do that to. An unfirewalled phone will eat some battery, so the efforts to get your firewall down as tight as you can comfortably run it is worth it for the life of your battery. Battery saver should probably always be on, and some apps use more battery playing voice or music than others. The ESV Bible app, when playing voice, eats battery. Still, that Kristyn has one of the most amazing voices I've never paid for. It's definitely one of the best voices I've ever heard, easily the quality of the best voices I have paid for. The battery is user replaceable. Operating System Updates: The two most popular lines of CAT update for 3 years, counting the year they come out. A phone that comes out in 2018 will have at least one update in 2020 - in my experience. However, the Cat s22 was not one of these 2 popular lines. The Cat s22 released in 2021 and updated into the middle of 2022. Keyboard: A lot of wimpering has been made on this keyboard. The screen is fully touchscreen, and so that while the Kika(the physical keypad) and the Gboard are installed, the Gboard is set as default. Simply set the Kika as the default keypad, and then go into settings and turn off the soft keypad display. You'll find the Kika keyboard is very space efficient, definitely has a dictionary built in to guess words you haven't finished typing, and doesn't like spaces. Wait, what? My Japanese dictionary said Kika was a sunflower(rare)... so... that makes as much sense as anything else. Japanese doesn't use spaces, it uses particles where spaces are. That is to say, if you press the space button, the Kika's guesses clear, and it starts over. However, space-less sentences the Kika is very good at. Or, if you happen to be going for minimalism, and figure if you know enough words, one word should always do, the Kika has got you covered. What about the choices in the Google Play Store? There are three T9 keyboards in the Google Play store. One is from France, one is from England(Tappy), and one is from India. The most glitchy option is the one everyone recommends(Old T9), primarily because it works with the physical keyboard. Each of the T9 keyboards has a different set of language options, though I find Tappy's option including the gaelics Irish, Scots Gaelic, and Welsh, as well as other languages, the most interesting. Japanese is available from the T9 keypad from France, but it seems to me that Tappy is the T9 option most cared for by the developer. That said, Tappy doesn't appear to work with the physical keypad, or if it does, I don't know how to do it, so Kika will do - because it is not glitchy like Old T9 is. Also, dice passwords from dmuth would be ideal using the Kika keyboard with something like KeePassDX + Donate. You could easily use it for a password chain of 8 words without spaces insanely fast with the Kika keyboard. That is, your KeePass password database could feasibly be safer because of the Kika keyboard than on your laptop. Compatibility: Most everything runs on this... save a few oddities... like Bible Apps? I mean, just for the craziest test, I installed the MMORPG Elemental Knights R Platinum, logged in(after I finally figured out how to make an account so it worked other place besides one phone - hint, the real username that is not shown is a random hexadecimal combination) and after I moved it to internal memory, it worked. Here I am, on a 2.8 inch touch screen, logging into an MMORPG successfully. Then OliveTree Bible doesn't work. Explain that to me? If you have this phone and want to memorize scripture from the Holman CSB, then the Audio Christian Standard Bible, The Bible Memory App(You might prefer Fighter Verses to this one), and Bible Memory: VerseLocker would be a good trio of apps to own. eSword: Bible Study to Go and ESV Bible work well on the CAT s22 also. Especially with the 128 GB MicroSD SanDisk High Endurance, the need for space for CDs you imported from the laptop is ever present. Use Neutron Player and you can play .flac audio files on the CAT s22. Bloatware: This phone has bloatware, but not the sort that eats all your storage space, rather the sort that has no battery optimization options. There were 20 apps on my CAT s22 with no battery optimization options after all updates. The easiest solution is a Firewall, such Glasswire, or InviZible. Limit the apps that are allowed to communicate and your battery will be a LOT happier. There is no need to change permissions. You can choose what talks using the Firewall. Security: I run DNScrypt 24/7. The website and everyone else can know I'm coming when I get there, I don't need a sign on my back while traveling. It's a phone, though, they aren't high security. The apple phone that had a fingerprint hacked was by someone who looked at pictures of the person on the internet who owned the phone until he found one that included a good picture of their finger. Ecryption is always CBC on storage. I mean, sure, you can set the memory card as part of the phone memory, run DNScrypt, get the firewall tighter - by maybe starting with limiting system apps that anti spy mobile pro flags, tighten your web browsers down a bit, use SilentNotes, and use Threema to talk to family... but the rest of the advertising is smoke and mirrors. (I find my comfort allowed system minimums with this Cat s22 using InviZible firewall are 1.Carrier Services, 2.Chrome, 3.DNS(R), 4.Gmail, 5.Google Go, 6.Google Play Store, 7.Google Play Services(GSF), 8.Internet Connectivity Check(R), 9.Meet, 10.Messages, 11.T-Mobile, 12.TDC, 13.YouTube,14.com.android.server.networkpermissionconfig(R) , though your comfort allowed system minimums may vary.) Annoyances: The throttling sometimes causes issues. Particularly if I am putting it through it's paces because it's a new phone to me and I want everything installed, logged in, and working by the weekend. I went from an 8core with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB RAM for app storage to this CAT s22, a 4core with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB RAM for most app storage. It's a little different, but there is something nice about a flip phone. Now if I can just convince Kika that spaces are Kika's friends. Camera: The display is 4:3 (480p, 640Hx480W), front & rear have 640x480 4:3 options(ratio=ratio, so proper display), however front & rear also have 16:9 higher resolution options marked as 4:3 options. It may be an image edit(app or desktop) away from a presentable picture, or simply mistaken notes. This wouldn't be the first 'oops' where ratio was mistakenly recorded wrongly giving mysteriously weird pictures that are only a simple fix away. NFC: there is no tap the phone to pay option on this phone - as my prior phone had this, which was a feature that was as unnerving as it was convenient App Default Screen Limits: 6 apps on screen, 4 apps on quick app bar Apps that have worked for me: ibisPaint, Stop Motion Studio PRO, Space Weather, Facts, Concise ISL(the screen never needs to be touched for this one - the thoughtfulness of testing that went into this app is easy to see when it works so nicely with the number keypad - the speaker button shifts the location the arrow buttons control from), Fighter Verses, Visible Body Physiology & Pathology, Audio Christian Standard Bible, Threema(chat works fine - i am having some odd issue with pics I upload into chat displaying, but it might be a setting I have wrong), Asahi Kanji, Ap Beibl, Anti Spy Mobile Pro, AIDA64, Audible, Microsoft Authenticator, Avery Cat, Bandcamp, Beginner's Go, Bioball, Biobla, Braille Tutor, Brightwheel, Caoga Caoga, Caustic 3, Privacy Cell, Crunchyroll, Crypto-Encryption Tools, Cwrs Mynediad, Cwrs Sylfaen, Docs To Go, e-Sword, Easy Thai Read, Elemental Knights Online Platinum, ESV Bible, Exploding Kittens, FreeBSD Doc, FreeBSD Handbook, HamStudy, HP Prime Pro(seriously, the keys are too small on this one, this is for a seven year old's enjoyment), iBless Torah, Judo Reference (Paid), Collins Irish Dictionary, JA Audiobook Learn Japanese, Kanji Quest, Kanji Tree, 'Kanji, Kana' (Readings of Chinese Characters... 300MB), KeePassDX, KeePro Unlocker, Kobo Books, Lamh Time, Learn CSS - Pro, Learn HTML - Pro, Learn Javascript - Pro, Level 22, Morse Code Practice Oscillator, Morse Trainer, Nemo Irish, Nemo Japanese, Neutron Player, Photo Editor (dev.macgyver), PlayerPro Music Player (Pro) (this plays videos you import), Pixiv Sketch, Pocket Mathematics, Pocket Physics, Posing App, Prime Video, Reddit, Remind, RPG Scribe, RPG Simple Dice PLUS, Ships Lights(well, the whole collection - there's 3), Kanazawa Shogi 2, SilentNotes, Sketch a Day, Skype, Survival Manual, Taekwondo Forms, The Chess - Crazy Bishop, Turnlehrer @home | gymnastics , Tumblr, Uciana(Kittens Game too), Bible Memory: VerseLocker, VRM Posing Mobile, WhatsApp, WHRMeter, Winzip, Word Games PRO (100+ games in one app), Yahoo Mail Go, ザ 花札, ラジオFM日本 Practical Memory: Stay less than 10GB of the 12GB of app space available to prevent automatic triage deleting by the phone software. Use SD Maid and SD Maid Key to keep your phone purring. Perfect apps: Concise ISL (Irish Sign Language), Magi Ann series (Learn Welsh), eSword - these work with the physical keyboard well. Nemo Language Apps do work fully with the physical keyboard, but the clicking to do so is not intuitive Note: running i2p purple along with dnscrypt breaks Tumblr. dnscrypt alone does not. The bottom line is there's enough smartphone here to use apps, but a small screen without small fingers can make it more useful as a device for audio books, music, and talking to human beings - although it certainly does receive spam calls as well as any other phone. My child regularly plays this or that video game on this phone, particularly Avery Cat(Every Cat: Match3 link) and Level 22, and those small fingers are perfect for this phone. I press a few times to get my audiobook playing. Still, as Gorilla Glass 5 is on $500 US phones in stores today... I tend to look at other phones and then hold onto this phone. Of course, my child is eagerly waiting for the day I get another phone... because she wants this one. ... show more
