S22 flip is perfect for me, I want a phone to help discourage me from being in my phone, (it being slower and with a small ass screen will help alot) but at thr same time I still need apps like uber to go to work or like signal to text friends funny too tho because my current phone is a s22 ultra and now I want a s22 Flip

it's not a dumb phone it's a flip phone, people need to realize the two aren't mutually exclusive. many such cases of phones with keypads or other input devices. just because it looks like a dumb phone doesn't mean it is, in fact most modern "dumb phones" aren't actually dumb, since a lot of them can at least use a web browser, which makes them smart-ish
@JessicaFEREM7 ай бұрын
I had an LG enV3 and I would classify that as a smart phone. it had a fully fledged opera web browser, and full keyboard. and an entire app store that verizon managed. not dumb by any means. even "dumb" phones from the late 2k's weren't completely dumb.
@axpuser6716 ай бұрын
@@JessicaFEREMthose phones would be classified as feature phones. These phones have features such as a web browser, app store,... , these phones typically run kaiOS or Symbian. New feature phones even have youtube, Facebook and whatsapp installed. Smartphones classify as phones that have all the features that feature and dumb phones have + robust modern os like android or ios + touchscreen and more. Feature phones are more like a every day companion, where the smart equivalent is like a companion and a pc in one small box.

I had a samsung instinct sometime around 2010. It was capable of running Opra mini as a web browser, and if I remember right, had Adobe Flash Support as well, which the iPhone didn't support. Today, I would consider that phone dumb as a bag of potato rocks, but back then, that phone was pretty smart. Although, when placed side by side with the iPhone 3G and 3Gs, the instinct quickly became dumb again.

one thing I don't understand about some smarter phones, is why not just get a unihertz jelly bean if you're going to mostly use the touch screen anyways? idk it doesn't sit right with me if the phone is that smart and it has the equivalent of a keypad sized tumor on the bottom of it that you are mostly going to ignore

I get what you mean but, the fact that it's a flip phone should deter you from trying to download these typpa games on that phone. Are they playable? Yes. Is it the best experience? No, for most people getting a cat 22, they probably already have a smart phone (which they can use to play these games). I get it, the point of a dumb phone is to get rid of these fancy features and dumb it down to the most essential ones. Like by example, I started using my blackberry classic as a work phone (emails and all that). I do have the playstore downloaded it and you'd be surprised at the number of apps you can download because of the android 4.3 run time on BBos 10. But for the most part the apps downloaded from the playstore or the ones that I sideloaded just have a subpar experience, it's so slow and janky. Apple Music (yes I have apple music on my blackberry classic) & Spotify are janky asf, simple fix KZfaq to mp3 to use with the music app ( you can easily edit the album artwork for songs and all that fancy jazz if that really matter to you) All in all it's a work phone and I don't feel the need to have music on it, as I still carry my iPhone 13 with me but use it less and less. Other apps are kinda janky (actually run pretty well just really slow), I managed to install a weather, news app, sports news. Again not the best experience but gets the job done. No no no no and no you'll never catch me lackin with the uNiHeRtZ tITaN or the sLIm i'd rather buy a Passeport, Key1 or Key2 LE. Blackberry will always be the best business/work phones for corpo dweebs hehehehehe. Maybe some people don't want a real DUMBPHONE, but just a phone old enough to make them less reliant on these fancy features we have nowadays Your argument for the Keyboard (touchscreen) is valid, but for me this is such a shitty experience that I would simply just call or just use the physical keys. I did not buy a flip phone to have my sumo sausage fingers struggle on a 3 inch display................ shit I just finished the video as I was typping this comment and bro I just gotta say you made me fucking laugh so much hahahahah. It's not a dumbphone but in the hands of a mf who isn't tech savy like us big bro..... This is a dumbphone :)

in '87 i was using a brick at work for a few years. 10 years later a candybar or two and a few flips for 10 more years, then the LG GU 230 Dimsun (lol) slide phone. best phone ever. so then i went for the Nokia 2720. loved that also, but not sure if its hardware or software that would turn the phone off at random. i saw the cat s22 a couple years ago but was too much $. i noticed now price is half what it used to be. got mine from amazon today. chonkier and heavier than expected, but so far loving it. i dont mind that its not dumb, i can still use it as if so. my 2720 would have been retarded with its kaiOS. its mainly for phone and maybe some text. i DL'd the "old T9" app so i can use the keypad without skipping a beat from my older phone and skip the touch screen keyboard. ugh.

I consider it a dumb phone and the real dumb phones stupid phones for a specific reason. The S22 Flip comes with Android 20, but due to the annoyingly small size and the ability to disable on screen keyboards, it can make web browsing feel like hell, but you can use google assistant to use stuff like google maps and such similar to a Nokia 2780. It's in no way a dumb phone but a midpoint between smartphones ad dumb phones.

You're missing the point. The reason people switch to a dumbphone is to break out of unhealthy digital habits, not to fulfill a checklist of requirements. The build and technology of the Cat s22 facilitates that, and will help people who are looking for the dumbphone lifestyle, so what's the problem? You also say dumbphones should not have a touchscreen, but then the most famous dumphone is the Light Phone 2. Seriously, what is the point in trying to police what can and can't help other people along such rigid lines?
