Your content is very fun, your voice is soothing, the production value is minimal and probably cheap but you edited it all very carefully and used good relevant stock clips. In short I love this first video of your and I'm glad KZread recommended it to me. I've suscribed and looking forward to future videos and i hope you grow into a KZreadr with 100k subs!

I can not express how much we need phones like this. Someone has to say that. Great video bro

I'm seriously thinking of getting one. Just as you I became aware of the growing bad habit of taking my smartphone and do "stuff" without meaning. Digital addictiveness is as creepy and stealthy as any other addiction. It takes you silently and without you noticing and by the time you became aware (or someone made you aware) of your dependency it's too late, you're hooked. I also want something that is still somehow intelligent so can still use things like banking and payment apps and some lightweight social media. Not just a good old nokia or similar feature phones (I already have those but I only use it as emergency devices or as alarm clock).

Mine comes today. I was smartphone free for 9 months but I want a smarter device, there is just no point living with just a dumb phone its just not safe in an emergency situation especially when you have kids. Having access to uber for example if your car breaks down etc is the one of the main reasons I am coming back to smartphones but I am glad that the smartphone I bought isn't a glass slap like a samsung or iphone. Cat s22 seems like an intentional device for digital minimalists

S22 owner here. It's a great phone. It's got an awesome FM Radio built into to it too. It requires an included USB-C to 1/8 stereo cable to be plugged in to work though. So it can't charge while listening to the FM radio but the built-in app does show artist and song titles and even has a record button. Unfortunately, the FM Radio only works with earbuds or earphones but it sounds awesome. The FM radio app just doesn't work with Bluetooth or the built in speaker. It even has a flashlight like a smartphone. It also works as a hot spot. I use it to supply WiFi to my tablet. It's a flip phone on the bottom because there is something so satisfying about having real physical buttons to press and flipping the phone closed when a call is over, yet still having a mini smartphone in the flip up lid to use when needing smartphone capiblities, it's the best of both worlds. it's great. It's the only phone I use!

@@oareyou I agree. That would have been much better, the manufacturer, Caterpillar, has a KZread channel for this phone. The phone is great and I'm happy with it, but there is always room for improvement. I asked in the comments on their channel for them to add a dedicated headphone jack if they come out with a later generation of this phone and to please keep the FM radio. That would allow the radio to be usable without running down the battery or worry over losing a cable, or the cable going bad. The FM radio has a rich bass sound. I was pleasantly surprised by it. I also suggested making the screen an inch wider by reducing the bezel, it works okay now, but an extra inch would make to S22 easier to use for larger fingers, also improving the exterior camera which sadly is low in megapixels. Still a great phone regardless. I just subscribed to your channel. Nice work.

Normally you could use a usb c hub for 3,5mm headphones while charging simultaneously. But not sure if this would support it. But how is the battery life on this when you are already complaining that you can't listen to music while charging? I only charge my phone when I sleep normally.

@erich6096

@@gehteuchnichtsan7911 I thought of that also, but have not purchased one. Battery usually lasts a couple of days with normal usage. I've never had it completely die on me before getting around to charging it. It was less of a complaint, more of an nitpick. A wish list item for a future improvement. Overall I'm still quite satisfied with the unit.

I'm surprised at both how big it is, but also how it kind of has an aesthetic. It looks cyberpunk and brutal instead of the wierd 2000s silver, swooshy flip phones of the past. Seeing it makes me think of my last flip phone which was also a Dark Knight themed one from around 2009, finding out that even at that time that while they had finally all begun to use Micro USB the headphone jacks were all proprietary 😅. I was real mad in learning that I couldn't use my phone as an MP3 player yet despite the option existing and even having a micro SD slot. I didn't know they were still supporting old versions of android, let alone still using them for phones like these- though it is their best use case. I'd even consider using one, but the camera on my Pixel 6.1 is *so damn good* it makes some projects a breeze. Good to see you're rocking it tho! Wish we still had the full keyboards and not just haptic screens.

I personally would love to see BlackBerry phones back again. Like phones with normal size screen and extendable keyboard which makes the feeling of typing messages much better than typing on a screen but it should have Snapdragon SoC because those chips are just great when it comes to performance and battery life.. as people and I experienced it when daily driving Xiaomi phones that have that SoC and getting a S23 Ultra and using it as a secondary phone with Exynos powered S22 Ultra. However, those phones definitely don't compare to my old and obsolete Blackberry with touchscreen, physical keyboard and of course, Android.

such cinematography in the rain shots! I love this

Genuinely a pretty great first video here. It definitely is intriguing to consider that aspect of the flip phone market as that is an area I haven't really considered mobile minimalism before but it's also surprising at how usable it is with modern everyday tasks and the general day to day. I really think it would be neat if more phone manufacturers experimented with alternative form factors rather than sticking the same slabs each year. Excited to see more on here soon!

In today's New age of social media addiction more old school cell phone makers should launch such phones like Blackberry and nokia. I'd definitely buy such type of phones.

Yeah I just want a really small phone with a full keyboard, like a true OG blackberry. I want something that favours battery life over horsepower. I don't want any social media apps at all however I still want to be able to instant message across those platforms. So if there could be a custom client for all the heavy hitters where you don't get the social feed but you can still receive messages from friends, that would be ideal. I have like 12 social media apps installed and the only reason is to cater to my friends' preferred chat platform. But the side effect is getting sucked into the feed. I dont want the feed.

You're a great story teller! Keep it going!

My old Samsung smartphone stopped working a long time ago, so I went about trying to find a replacement for it. I work with my hands a lot, I find that my thick dry skin often doesn't work well with touchscreens. I've been very disappointed with how few modern phones exist that have physical keypads on them. Without a suitable replacement, I ended up putting my SIM card into an old Blackberry that was sitting in my parts bin. The Blackberry doesn't have the service books that would enable internet or MMS, so all I can do is call and text with it. It's been refreshing taking a break from smartphone usage! You've got me intrigued about the CAT S22. My phones sometimes sometimes get exposed to pretty rough conditions when I do contracting work. Durability is something I look for.

Thank you for your video it was a great watch! everyone has their own journey. I found my happy spot was with apple (braces for all of the it doesn't have x feature comments). hear me out though. Like how you had started to explore hobbies when they made their switch I was consistently tinkering with my android device. Forever customizing, editing, and tweaking it for the perfect experience. So much so that I had pretty much stopped using it as a phone. Swapping to apple worked well for me because I was using it as a phone. I recognize it as a self-discipline problem for myself at this point, but it was a lot easier to develop better habits when I limited myself to less. for me less was more.

Thank You for the video! A must type of device for all the Indians who need a distraction free device but with a need for UPI and similer apps which need it to be on Android or iOS. By far CatS22 and maybe an iPhone SE (2022) are the closest in both ecosystem which brings in most peoples requirement for something minimal. Yes, iPhone is distracting yet their are always some turn downs in whatever you chose. In CatS22 you have to deal with a huge chunk of the device where as in SE you gotta deal with the urge to engage in Infinite scroll. Yet, a great video and good alternative to curb Distraction of modern slabphones life. Do share more of your experience for other indian users about its battery and purchase places etc. All the best for the channel!

Thanks man! Yes iphone SE 2022 is a good phone that stays on the 'minimalist' side while being ip67 waterproof. Too bad I sold mine else could have made a video on it. Although it is fragile being a full glass phone and to make it rugged you need to add a bulky case, which makes the slim factor go. But it can be a good option for those who want to go minimal without leaving full touchscreen. Plus the SE gets all those sweet security updates too. I personally miss those good old days of simple phones and I love tactile keypads so a phone like CAT S22 is godsend to me. The feeling to wash a flipphone in tap water or using it in rain without worries or to use it with gloves while riding because of the buttons is something I cherish. I will make a review video with mentions to the price, availability, camera and speaker quality of this phone later. Stay tuned! :)

Looking for a basic phone for calls/texts and Spotify as I still want to be able to listen to music when out and about and that's about it, would you recommend the phone for this use?
