Used for a month. Absolutely hated it. Lag in response and poor key placement (hang up same location as hide leads to inadvertent hang ups), tiny keyboard, clunky Bluetooth connectivity, unable to push contacts to car’s phone book for hands free calling, weird buzzing and beeping when charging, and takes forever to boot up. Maybe gen 3 or 4. Mostly, make it bigger FFS with bigger keyboard. I want no distracting apps but I do want a usable, functional texting/phone function which this phone does not have.
@@wsollnti not really. everyone uses it differently. as a 23 yr old lover of music, i never liked spotify and never made one until i started making my own music and posting on streaming platforms. i just use youtube and soundcloud to find and listen to music
This thing is meant to get rid of cheap dopamine, Spotify definitely adds to that, I find myself switching back to CDs in my car just to clear my mind instead of deciding on a playlist or hitting shuffle just to skip songs the whole drive
I can eliminate everything, but TH-cam. I can care less about fb, Instagram, Twitter and any bs, but love TH-cam for informative stuff and cooking recipes
@@InvisibleDissident I didn't know there were books on the Israel-Hamas situation that kicked off again a few weeks ago. Or a book on the Maine shooter last week.. book isn't informative for current day news
I got the punkt but we had trouble using pigeon. We got a hold of customer service but they couldn’t help, we got it off Amazon. I originally wanted mudita pure but after seeing some vids on it I think it has a long way to go. I should have just got the light phone. Which I will. I have a problem with social media and just constantly having my phone in my face so I want to switch to a minimalist phone. I looked at dumb phones and find that I didn’t like most. Your videos are very helpful. You seem like a genuine down to earth guy. You rock Jose.
The problem is it's not light on the price: $300. If you really want to live minimalist, there are plenty of full-featured Android devices for less than that, including an almost equally small Jelly Star. Just don't use all the stuff, while you still have the ability to take photos, log onto a banking site, and the like, when you do need to.
Some of us just want to stay connected without the apps, flip phone Aren’t what they use to be. I would pay $200 for this all day va $1600 on additions that is being this world down. 😢
Any suggestions for a camera? I take a lot of photos of my family. It’s my only hang up to downgrading. Would it work to keep my iPhone and turn off internet and delete all my apps? Thoughts?
I would like a mid grade light phone lol. One with Spotify, a camera, and maybe one app (TH-cam) for informational purposes with an hour time limit. I have the willpower of a 2year old.
It’s a cool idea, but they should make the phone slightly larger and more premium, also make it less boxy. The OS though is perfect, it just needs some color.
Build quality and features is 70-100 $price tag range its like a Kindle paperwhite its safe to say thats how they got the idea ( Copycat) from Kindles paperwhite mini reader. 299$ is and its Lag screen is Absurd ! 💀
LP claims they’ve requested and offer a chain letter to send to Spotify requesting but been tracking this for over a year and no movement I’m aware of.
@@JoseBriones Thank you, I found it but I didn't see anything in the description but I did check out your channel and saw a lot of your videos on Minimalist phones and you are an amazing creator giving comparisons and such on each. I may end up getting the Light Phone II due to your content on these phones. Thank you
Ok, this is just my opinion but: I think it's way too pricy for what it is. An old and easily customized android smartphone would cost less and be nicer to use IMO.
holding out for the Lightphone 3. The delay on the response time looks pretty bad. Amazing idea though
Prays for offline mapping. Camera would be nice.
Delay does not bother irl
@@richardlee196 from everything ive seen, there are currently no plans for a 3. Current hardware works and they just want to update the 2 for now.
pretty lagging for a non e ink tho
needs a 460 snappy to juice it
@@escgoogle3865 it should be avail but of 64gb onboard
maps take storage alot

If it had Spotify and a camera for photos for myself I would get it. I honestly live on Spotify
why do u need spotify?

@@isaacneuton10 Spotify is an application for music. so i assume he needs it for music durrr idk tho

this phone is so beautiful it actually keeps me up at night.

you should have a laptop or computer to do that on more selective time. or find alternatives like reading that information!
TH-cam existed before smartphones

Bro light phone 2 cost Indian Rupees?"
Would love to buy but it's not working in germany.

$299!!!! With that price any distraction disappears, because the only thing you can think about is how you were ripped off
Some of us just like it. Thanks for stopping by.
With Dev cost and sales volume, I have no idea how they sell it this cheap

Its not that deep😂 you don’t have to buy one
I noticed a decrease in my eyesight using smartphones. Blue light is not good. I'm working on getting the hisense a9 or a flip phone.
seems like it has a slow response time
It's just the eink screen. That's how that technology works.
Any suggestions for a camera? I take a lot of photos of my family. It’s my only hang up to downgrading. Would it work to keep my iPhone and turn off internet and delete all my apps? Thoughts?
Insta360 Go3 it's super small and easy to carry.
i love the display lol
something is wrong with mic quality, just to let you know, cheers
Thanks. I'll make sure to check for next time :)
That thing makes your hands seem giant sized lol. I would imagine not a great typing experience. But maybe that’s the point.
I'm thinking about trying this are there any plans for a light phone 3?
Not as of now. The team is still update the Light Phone 2. My earliest estimate for a Light Phone 3 is late 2024 or middle of 2025.
looks laggy af
It's not lag it's e-ink
This lags of ink only on video or in real? Cant understand.
It’s normal behavior for eink. It’s not lag. This is how it looks normally.

The lite phone been out for years wym
I’ve been wanting this for a while but it looks like a nightmare to use
How do you get podcasts and music? Can it connect to Spotify?
Podcasts and Music are via the dashboard. You load them ahead of time. Podcasts sync after you set them up. No spotify
Kindle PaperWhite Delay
Why does the screen flash like that when you touch the screen and buttons
It's e-ink
@@JoseBriones Okay, is that very annoying
I wish the light phone had better security
No issues in 4 years. I use Desktop apps for messaging for encrypted conversations.
Okay can someone help me out I want one but I need to be able to listen to music and connect to my headphones are you able to do that on this?
Yes. You can load about 250 mp3s and listen via headphone jack
Ayyyyy, I see you with the NF music!
It costs hell a lot
"It's not lag it's eink"
It's still lag + expensive
Rather get a nokia
I can tell you wanted to hide your subscription to those podcasts😅... I would too. You don't want to divide your audience..
Haha. We talk dumbphones here not politics lol
@JoseBriones merry Christmas Jose 🎅 🎄
You'd think it's be cheap because it literally like has nothing but it's 300 💀
It’s a cool idea, but they should make the phone slightly larger and more premium, also make it less boxy. The OS though is perfect, it just needs some color.
This kinda takes away from the phones purpose. Its supposed to make you want to not use it
Build quality and features is 70-100 $price tag range its like a Kindle paperwhite its safe to say thats how they got the idea ( Copycat) from Kindles paperwhite mini reader. 299$ is and its Lag screen is Absurd ! 💀
How long do you think this would last? 5+ years? And how good is the GPS that's important for me in NYC
I've been using it for 3 years so it's getting close to 5 years very soon. GPS is good enough in urban areas, specially for public transport.
@@JoseBriones what about subways
Can i use my spotify with this?
No.
LP claims they’ve requested and offer a chain letter to send to Spotify requesting but been tracking this for over a year and no movement I’m aware of.
It looks like iPhone 4
That one person where they hack the android operating system and gets a normal launcher on it
cool
Can you use whatsapp or anything like that?
No
The lag is only a business day 😒
It's not lag, it's e-ink
@@JoseBriones yes lag.
sorry but you can get a phone with everything this has for less than 100 dollars... its a gimmick for people trying a fad
It's just an option. Some of us prefer it, some people get the $100. It's a preference thing. That's it.
I thought that might be true too. Then I decided to try it. Life changing in the best way possible.
where to buy?
Thelightphone.com
thanks
Brazil ?
Get your mic out of your mouth
Holy ××× its soooooo slow. . I would rage and break it after 2 days
Nah. You get used to it and embrace the slow profile.
@@JoseBriones that's exactly what I would say if I had been dumb enough to order it
What description
Click on the video sidebar and there should be a space where you can see the description

probably get a nokia instead, this is pure crap for 300 bucks
Thanks for stopping by.

Yeah. It depends on what you are going for, but androids are doable too.
@@JoseBriones yes, you have a cool video on that ! ;)
a z5c dimension with a sd 450 4/64 does it, esp 300Ah 15w wired
only needs the rom on it
Pointless rip off
Sure...
