@@MrRetroswag this comment has the same energy as “don’t be depressed, just be happy”. Today’s hyper-addictive technology is quite literally designed to override your brain’s natural cues and willpower and keep you scrolling. That’s hard enough for regular people, but now we’re in the first generation of people who have grown up with technology, whose brains have literally developed in conjunction with this addictive technology and who truly do not know anything else. Now take a person who has been raised to be extremely susceptible to addictive tech, and give them a portable, durable device that is literally on their person 24/7. It’s like giving a person who has been drinking alcohol since baby bottles an infinite bottle of vodka that fits in their pocket. It is hardwired into many of us to be addicted to our screens, which is why the entire world essentially revolves around technology, and in large part specifically smart phones. So, here is a person who has acknowledged that they are spending too much time on their screen. They want to change and are looking for a solution that works for them. In this case, getting rid of the smart phone that enables the addiction. And what do you do? Make fun of them, and tell them not even to try their solution, because just not having an addiction is “so easy”, according to you. Honestly, just say you’re retarded and keep scrolling, man.

Basic use and battery lasts for three days. I thought it was not a smart phone but it is definitely a smart phone. You must use T9 or button texting because the screen is so small with keyboard screen.

I really appreciate your videos on the more overlooked phones in the market. Helps quite a bit.

Nice to see flip phones making a comeback. Now would be a great opportunity for manufacturers to introduce dual-layer screens. We see that technology in some smartwatches, but none for phones imagine the battery life and visibility!

I absolutely love this phone. The small screen limits my screen time effectively, and the key pad prevents me from engaging in long, devolving text chains. At the same time, I appreciate having the touchscreen and the ability to download navigation apps that I enjoy using for backpacking (specifically Caltopo). I also love the ruggedness. It's just about perfect for my needs.

Hi, Jose! I found your channel while doing my research to downgrade a little from my current smartphone, while still wanting to keep some features. I really like this option. I have a question: one thing I would want is to use operating system different than Android. I saw that LineageOS and /e/ are some open source options based on Android. Do you know if they are compatible with this device? And how about privacy and security, do you have an idea of how reliable those OS are?

Thanks Jose! Out of curiosity, are there any other android based "transition" phones that you would recommend in the same vein of the Cat S22?

I'd get a garmin tbh. However, in a pinch, the GPS is very reliable

Hi Jose! Can you change the android launcher on the phone? I bought an unihertz jelly 2 but the phone reception is poor so I'm looking for something with a decent amount of function with good reception. Thanks for your reviews!

Yes. You can change the launcher and pretty much everything else.

@@JoseBriones Great! Is app functionality limited to when the phone is open? Just curious if I can play music with the phone closed.

Hi,very informative video. My husband just bought one, can you tell us how to insert the SIM card? I placed it on top of the silver metal SIM card area or is it suppose to go inside the metal frame? I couldn’t squeeze it in and so it lays on top touching the battery. Is that t correct way?

Open the latch. Place it inside the metal frame and then push down. It is a bit finicky, but it will work after a couple tries.

As of right now, the only way is to get the phone from TMobile, pay them $100 in prepaid refills and then get it unlocked.

Nice video Mostly this phone is rugged but i think i could out peat the casio Gzone

Does it have a longer battery life then the new Kyocera rugged phone?

I’d say is comparable, but the Kyocera is a bit better

In comparison to the Kyocera 903kc/902 do you think it's a worth while device?

It is easier to operate because of the touchscreen, but they Kyocera is better in build quality and design in my opinion. If you value function over form, it's worth it.
