CAT S22 Flip (details)

black

The CAT S22 Flip is a true dumbphone darling. With full support for Android apps, you can customize this device to suit your needs perfectly. Despite the apps, the small screen and form factor tends to help people disconnect from their phones and use it less, without having to go back to the Stone Age.
