Light is a radically different technology company. We design beautiful tools that respect and empower our users and our first product is The Light Phone.

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?

    I won’t lie, I’m a sucker for how it looks.

    The punkt does not meet my functionality standards. I do not want to go back to a brick. It does not have a camera nor a screen large enough for me to see for nav. I will admit it looks dope as hell, but it’s not for me.

    I do like the Punkt Smart phone, but it’s a full ass smartphone and I want a minimalist phone because I have a screen addiction.

    I have thought about Graphene, but the issue is - if I can make my device waste my time. I will make my device waste my time. My solution would be to get a device that does the things I need it to do without giving me the ability to do more in a form factor that I like.

    400$ is not too much for me to pay that. The punkt is 300. Why is 400$ a bridge to far for this form factor?

    I also love the swappable battery and that they are trying to make the phone easier to repair. It can be a hotspot and that is very useful.
