    Its an okay phone. I got one after watching this review and the touch screen is barely serviceable. I'd recommend getting a stylus if this is your daily driver. Some apps won't resize properly on the screen, even if they are compatible and thus are not useable.
    Spotify works though and that's the main thing.

    This is literally my dream phone. It's tough. It's a flip phone. It's on an android operating system. It's slightly smart. And has Bluetooth..... Seriously this is all I could ask for. Definitely picking one up thank you for the review. This is gonna be a life changer for real.

    @Magicmedo hmm i'd argue that's a generalization...many people still want a way to communicate using services like Whatsapp as an alternative to text...that's why having the ability to install it on Android (if needed) is nice to have...you don't have to run apps, but having the flexibility is neat imo...not to mention advantages like the smaller size when folded. Sure, there's a segment of people that want something simpler...there's plenty of other flip phones out there already, so why not have another option for folks that want something different?
    also the concept of a nostalgic device but with modernized specs likely appeals to some...that's why Galaxy Z Flip devices - still technically "flip phones" - are quite popular and capable...so it's not the form factor alone that determines functionality or who "should" use it since people's needs are different...
    and not to be rude, but thinking like this is probably the reason why phone brands don't even try experimenting as much as they did back in the day...we essentially killed innovation with criticism and then act surprised as to why phones aren't "fun" or unique anymore sml...so no, it's not a "dumb product" just because you're not the intended target audience lol

    There are a few things I don’t like about it:
    1. External screen will not show any notifications other than text or calls. If you change default sms app there will be no notifications.
    2. Keyboard is awful. Its just too flat and you don't feel buttons under fingertips at all. Try to use that with gloves.
    3. Size is too big and bulky. Not pocketble format. But yes, you can throw it in a bag with keys.
    4. Hinge is very tight and body designed a way that its impossible to open it with one hand.

    Im thinking of getting one. I have been on a social media detox but i still listen to music and things on youtube when im driving(truck driver) or at the gym. I already have a flip phone but its just a general one. It works fine but luckily my work phone is an iphone(so ill use that for music and videos until they tell me to stop😂) and when i go to the gym or anywhere on weekends i just switch my sim card back to my android for music, videos and my gps tracker for my pov truck

    @OSReviews Thanks for the review. However, I am looking at this to replace my soon non-operational 3G dumbphone w/ something as similar as possible -- and nearly everything I'm looking for as musts, you simply didn't address, or demo (!), but rather instead concentrated on highlighting everything smartphone-alike. I've never owned one, and resent even being forced to (probably) get this one.
    Therefore, I hope you could answer the below questions:
    1) Can you change the wallpaper, if so how?
    2) Can preinstalled apps all be removed (would not want Assistant, Drive, and a bunch of other things, f ex), and/or at least moved away, to where I don't need to see them all the time?
    3) Is it possible to connect 3.5 mm headphones (apparently no jack for it?) somehow? If so, how?
    4) Do you have to use the touch screen to check notifications (for missed calls & the like) or it's possible to use the tactile pad for that as well?
    5) I assume one can enter search terms or a URL in the browser ALSO via the tactile pad? You didn't demo that at all, almost.
    6) When messaging, are threads created for message convos? I.e. one each for John, Mary, etc, witht the in- and outgoing messages chronologically ordered internally?
    7) Is there a voice message recorder, to send as MMS instead of SMS?
    Thanks in advance!

      bro honestly whatever people have reviewed and told you that are talking trash, they were probs using it for tasks beyond its capabilities. ive had mine for between 2-4 months and its awesome! never crashed and runs as smooth as silk in my experience. though it can run games (badly) its designed for communications and light to moderate processors

      I can agree with dude above me, I've had this phone for about 6 months and honestly it's great. The only problem I can see with these phones is the battery is not that great if you use it most of the day and also mine is defective and the keypad lights stay on after you flip the phone close but you can turn the lights off in settings. They have an extended battery for the phone too. It's a great choice if you're serious about not having a smartphone

      @@WaterMeA-biscuit indeed. It’s a great device. If I need the socials it’s on my laptop now. I’ve kicked the smartphone habit as I’m no longer interested in my s20. I find the reason the battery doesn’t last longer than a half day (in my experience) is if it’s being used all the time. I hardly pick it up unless for calls and texts and I love that idea. Doing it that way it lasts for about 3/4 days before it hits 10% for me. Such a great device such a shame the company shut down the phone department early this year. 😭

      WhatsApp works great and there is an option to switch between phones and have WhatsApp on both so I switch between my iPhone and the CAT and receive whatsapp on both 👍🏼 I find Spotify and maps works well which were they most important for me. I personally find texting fine using the swipe method on the touch screen - there is an option to enlarge the keyboard although it is still small but I don’t have any issues. I love it as a detox phone. Only negative is the size and weight but you do get used to it

    The CAT is a cool looking phone - BUT - I'm looking at those keys with 3 letters on them each. If I'm spending more time in the process of constructing words than the process of constructing sentences as I'm texting (especially if there's an emergency in progress) - I've got to let it go. On a regular android phone, when you hit a letter, it instantly goes into your text message. With these phones, you got to 1. Look for the key that has the letter you're looking for, 2. press i t, 3. then you get a choice of three letters to choose from on the screen, 4. then you have to chose one of the three letters - - - - and then that letter goes into the text message. And you have to go through all those four steps for each letter you want. Way too much time consuming work - again, especially if you're in an emergency situation.

    It's... not a good phone. All the downsides of a dumbphone combined with all the downsides of a cheap Android device - there's so little onboard storage (16GB) that it's tight even for the OS, the keyboard is okay but for me it quickly became unusable as button presses registered multiple times (and I wasn't even using it in any kind of extreme conditions, just standard phone usage), and while it's convenient to have a fallback for the apps you must have in the increasingly app-reliant world, they're not going to work well - and not just "unpleasantly", but "you will struggle for 20 minutes to order an Uber as the app keeps closing on you due to lack of RAM". (Which was exactly the situation that made me finally ditch the phone - that's one of the very few things I actually need the "smart" part of the smartphone for).
    If you're after a simple but reliable phone, get an actual dumbphone. If you're after a digital detox, either get an actual dumbphone or a half-decent smartphone and just don't install the apps you don't need. A weak dumbphone will usually just lack features, but a weak smartphone makes the entire thing unusable.
    (Also, if you do have it, the app incompatibilities can mostly be worked around by setting minimal width in developer options. I haven't run into any apps that refused to run, except I think one launcher that didn't like Android Go on principle - but many would balk at the screen width, either breaking the layout or just straight up not starting. It'll run most apps in theory, but you're still constrained with the phone's specs).
