Cat/Unifone S22 Flip Review in Canada
​
Hey, I recently got the s22 flip from amazon. It was listed as the Unifone S22 Flip and i got it for around 100 bucks. I've had it for about a week and I have a lot of thoughts I wanna share. Firstly, the phone has a lot of limitations, like no rcs and the mic quality being really bad. The speakers aren't the best either and its not really a true flip phone experience because you can't do everything from the dpad and numbers. The hinge is also kind of annoying since the phone is really heavy and the hinge closes down pretty fast (i may or may not have pinched my fingers really badly). Apart from being really bulky and heavy, there's not much else to complain about. The camera quality is decent, it has bluetooth and hotspot, it can run google maps and play games. However, that's one of the worse things about this phone, it's a bit too good at being a phone. My main concern for getting a flip phone was for it to reduce my screen time and have some sort of maps functionality. I originally looked for the nokia 2780 but I couldn't find it anywhere in canada for a good price so I looked towards the tcl flip 2. The flip two was a good phone but my main concern was that it didn't have maps. I attempted to "jailbreak" into it but the Canadian version had a software update blocking me from doing it. Thats where the s22 flip came in. Its got too much functionality to be a good dumb phone. I'm still going to be keeping it because its still inconvenient enough to reduce my screen time but if you can find it, I'd definitely go for the Nokia because it embodies everything a dumb phone should be imo. The s22 is just a really inconvenient, tiny smartphone with a really shitty microphone. Thoughts?
