ACTUALLY UNLOCKED AND BETTER THAN ADVERTISED
okay first point this phone is actually unlocked, CAT phones were originally tmobile exclusive phones so it has the logo flash during the launch process and has all the carrier apps but it is unlocked and will be accepted at any carrier i confirmed this deeper in my settings. second point this is running android 11 not android 11 go, so its basically an android smartphone before we went insane with flagship models inside a nostalgic phone that feels healthier to keep around. coming from an iphone XR, the screen/keyboard width + overall thickness of the phone feels like an even tradeoff, about double the thickness and maybe a cm ir so more narrow. and bc capitalism has made us conveniently forget, im going to point out that a 2 RAM phone is the same specs as the iphone 8. which worked PERFECTLY FINE before we updated our phones and let apple gaslight us into thinking we needed 8 RAM and AI hardbaked into the software. is it instantaneous loading? no, but the extra 1-3 seconds gives me a moment to think about wtf im even doing, i dont need a phone that can process faster than my own brain. its perfect for people like me that dont have social media or use a phones fancy flagship features when leaving the house. running it completely de-googled with positive results and will update if my opinion changes.
