So, I preordered the Light Phone 3? I considered the 2 for a while but it is just to clunky with its eink screen, texting would be a nightmare.
What are y’all’s thoughts on the new design? Do you think minimalist phones are worth it?
Love to see it, I want more phones like this, idk I almost want a Light Phone with a microSD card slot for music/documents/files.
I know that goes against the whole super simple, less is more theme. However. I like options & I think every single phone should have expandable memory. Even Apple. When that feature isn’t present in a smartphone, that is the company ripping you off.
The ability to take pictures & store them on a microSD card. Back up your phone, files & settings. Anything you want…and that phone can consequently fail or be destroyed, but you extract that card & you’ve got what you need? That feature is cheap to implement, that security is priceless. And that is what companies have stolen from all of us.
…anyway. Other than that, the 3 looks great. Love the small form factor & everything about it. I’m almost willing to buy it, anyway. I’m sad they don’t have microSD, I am disappointed but I’m not surprised.
Can’t use it until it supports Signal, so that’s a no from me, dog.
Would be nice, it’s a possibility in the future they stated.
I was interested in the lightphone ii because of its small size and eink display. Now its just a big phone with a normal screen like every other.
At this point they might as well just release their os rom so you can get the lightphone expierence without having to buy new hardware.
It’s the size of two credit cards it’s still pretty small.
