Did you know that the heavy equipment manufacturer Cat (short for Caterpillar) has been trying its hand at making mobile phones for well over a decade now? Now, to be honest, the company itself did not make Cat-branded devices and has outsourced the mobile phone manufacturing business to British consumer electronic company Bullitt Mobile. Cat’s smartphones were known for their tough nature, and devices like the Cat S60 and its successors evoked an interesting response from the market.
An interesting product in Cat’s current portfolio is the Cat S22 Flip, which is the company’s first flip-style smartphone. We did say smartphone because, unlike the rest of the phones on this list, the Cat S22 Flip actually runs Android (albeit an older version). The Cat S22 Flip gets the same internal display size as the rest of the handsets listed here—except it gets double the resolution (480 x 640 pixels). The secondary external display measured 1.44 inches across.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 215 chip powers the Cat S22 Flip, which has 16GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM. Like other Cat smartphones, the S22 Flip is also IP68 and MIL-SPEC 810H compliant.
The phone’s camera setup includes a 5MP main camera and a 2MP secondary camera. The handset also supports 4G networks and comes with a large 2,000 mAh battery. What is truly surprising, however, is its price, which has been hovering around the $65 mark on Amazon for a while now.
