See, I wouldn't mind having a phone like that as a back up, I would love it actually, and I think the e-ink display is perfect for its use and actually pretty cool... but come on... for $300 put on it a good DAC and amp, expandable storage, an audio player, a body of at least aluminium or maybe even steel, removable battery and off we go. I'd buy it.
honestly yeah, for 300 it should double as a competent dap if it has music capacity. its bare necessities plus music and navigation. its all id want but everyone seems to go way under or way over
1 gb is also insanely small. I get it doesn’t need much for what it is, but for the price… like… Apple’s iPhone 13 mini has 128 gb and it’s $699. With way less features and cheaper parts, this could easily have more gb. I wonder what their profit margins are.
Honestly, it could def do with a smaller bezel too, I'm not asking for much but 300 dollars for something that would typically be less than a third of that is an outright scam
What a heap of shit. I was laughing at first, but now I'm genuinely angry that someone had this useless piece of junk produced at a large scale. Genuinely just contributing to the growing e-waste problem. I hope this company goes bankrupt and everyone who designed and marketed this "smartphone" becomes homeless.
@UCf4BmMb8mLMHjBcA8Oz5umA Yes, and I'm sure the person who refused to wear a mask or follow basic safety guidelines, told all his supporters not to worry about it, tweeted that covid was all a hoax, then got covid himself (along with several of his cabinet members), spent multiple thousands of dollars (if not more) of taxpayer funds on treatment for an illness he did absolutely nothing to avoid is the one we can thank for all of these efforts. Or is all that reality "fake news" too?
Its a good phone for its intentions. If you want to work without distractions, waking up without social media or going for a shit that doesnt last 20 mins, than its the perfect phone.
I was actually really impressed by the e-ink display. Looks like they put a lot of work in improving the technology and designing the phones OS to take advantage of it. It would be kind of cool to have a fully fledged smart phone that used e-ink and with some cleaver software design it you could do almost everything you do in an OLED on a high quality e-ink (except for watch video and play games but in theory everything else could work). The phone could auto refresh the screen when ever it receives a text with the message app open. And refresh the screen a few times a second while you do a swiping motion to scroll through webpages/app interfaces. And then you’d have a mostly functional smartphone that only needs to be charged once every 2 weeks. (E-inks only draw current when the refresh and it’s a tiny amount of current) It wouldn’t be nearly as elegant as an LCD/OLED obviously but it’d be a great thing to have incase your main phone died while out in town or camping or something like that. I wouldn’t even pay $300 for this massively improved version though, MAYBE $150 and that’s because I’m in the very niche market of needing a smartphone that has multiple days of battery life(for camping/not having to worry about charging up before a hike)
If this phone was like $100 or less maybe I can see it. But $300 no way. All I can see using this is as a work phone for calls and texts and then just turn it off after work.

Rest in pieces Light phone, you held up pretty dam well to tests that the average consumer wouldn't do to their phone, unless they were making a youtube video. I actually quite like the idea of the phone, but I am amazed that they did not think, we could make this smartphone sized and incorporate e-book reader technology into it (with a partner deal with someone who sells e-books) so as well as having a basic phone with some music, you also get a e-book reader.
the company has said that it is due to competition and their state as a company. being a small company in the tech industry, competition is definitely intense. light cannot price the phone lower than $350 unless they: are a large company, are earning massive revenue, are a known brand, or are bold enough to underpay and overwork their manufacturing team/crew/employees, etc. definitely, $350 is definitely expensive to our expense, but that is because of the competition. giant companies can just mass produce to their liking since they already have the resources, they are a known brand, etc. this phone is crowdfunded just so this can be manufactured, which says a lot about enthusiast/niche/independent brands. playing devil's advocate, the phone has great design ngl. even the software experience (knowing you don't text a lot/don't care about typos) is otherwise great, which is unlike most feature phones. and i definitely agree with most people, this must be priced at a lower cost. but knowing the tech-economic climate... it might just be wishful thinking.
@@bsbx how do they expect to become bigger company if they offer less for more than others? Why would anyone buy that? I know such devices may be desired by some people but for that price they should offer better build quality, vibrations, more storage, smaller screen frames, etc.
@@Mintor94 exactly. i would buy this in a heartbeat if it wasn't for stuff like you mentioned. but again, the light phone is a niche product. (but it is not an excuse! ha!) i wouldn't expect it to boom in markets or stuff, but who knows? (the fact that this gets into the hands of youtubers surprise me.) but i definitely understand why a lot of people are not in favor of buying this product. i follow the company on instagram, accompanying with the company tagged by customers in their "goodbye social media posts/stories". judging by their photos/profile, i think this phone is ABSOLUTELY perfect for them. but i think it is just a marginal few. but again, i wish it were better. knowing this is a crowdfunded project, it's flight is unpredictable. we're definitely in need of something else. for now let's see where this thing goes. if they are able to supply a more quality product in the next iteration, maybe that's a win? i don't know exactly.
Ok, but who is buying a phone like this? No TH-cam, no games…. I can probably survive without TH-cam, but with no games?? Hell nah. Yes, I am addicted to my phone. So what? I would rather not buy this phone. No Minecraft? And for how long? Forever? No. Just no.
I like the concept, but for this price i would expect an aluminum body, a edge to edge e ink display and some kind of durability. And still, i think 200 bucks would be plenty.
And more and/or expandable storage... I get that the whole point of this phone is to be minimalist, but come on, listening to music isn't exactly that distracting of a task and it already supports it, so I'd want to be able to store more than like 3 songs on it.1 gig of space for music that you can't even expand in a $300 phone is a total ripoff.
I like the idea, it might be good for people who want a more simple less toxic ( social media) phone experience. But let's be honest who would buy it? I think a flip phone can do the same thing but it has a camera. Idk if there is analarmon them tho. I wouldn't think they would
I'm using mine since about a week, and I'm very happy with it. I'm hardcore addicted to screens, and I divided my lost time on phone/tablet by about 20. I still have access to (some of) my podcasts, and I upload one audiobook at a time, which is pretty nice. The only thing I'm really not happy with is the battery life - I don't understand why such a minimalist tool can't stay on for a month without the need of a charge. Of course, you can probably accomplish the same with a 40 bucks Nokia but on another hand you won't have such a nice software experience.
Hi, since it's been 2 years from your comment I thought you might want an upgrade that will have enough battery to last a month. --- you could get a cheap android phone with an AMOLED display and large battery. Install a minimalist launcher, Set the mobile data mode to 3G and just easily uninstall all the social media and other apps you wouldn't want on a light phone. And ta-da! You have a phone cheaper than a light phone. But much better
Just wanted to add-on I'd recommend getting a OnePlus 7 Pro for this just because it has an edge-to-edge screen with curves so design is really good. You can always get some black round stickers to cover the back cameras and get a soft material black case with no advertising to give it that minimalistic look. your welcome!

I agree. It also reminded me of the hold music that you hear when calling certain phone numbers in Grand Theft Auto V.
Oh my gosh when I sell a phone and someone asks what the refresh rate is I’m going to say “whenever it feels like it”
That e ink refresh is rough. I’m hoping the LP3 will be a major step up in all aspects
I think it should still have a true B&W camera, some business solutions like email, and a 2500mAh battery that lasts a week to a month. I could then recommend it to my stepmother who only uses her phone for texts and calls. But she claims an iPhone is too complicated, and her Samsung is always dead from all the background processes.
What about a flip phone,
@@lusathegreat6300 or a feature phone
I have a Nokia feature phone and if you’re only gonna use it for texts and calls then it’s a great phone
The only problem is that it’s kinda annoying to type on it, but there’s a dictionary mode which should make typing easier and faster
Also you rarely have to charge it and it’s indestructible
She’s stupid AF to think iPhone is complicated, especially when she already uses android which is already even more complicated. Apple is known for its’ simplicity. wtf.

Rest in pieces Light phone, you held up pretty dam well to tests that the average consumer wouldn't do to their phone, unless they were making a youtube video.
I actually quite like the idea of the phone, but I am amazed that they did not think, we could make this smartphone sized and incorporate e-book reader technology into it (with a partner deal with someone who sells e-books) so as well as having a basic phone with some music, you also get a e-book reader.
How can this electro-waste cost 300$? This is insolence on the part of the manufacturer. I wouldn't pay 30$ for that
the company has said that it is due to competition and their state as a company. being a small company in the tech industry, competition is definitely intense. light cannot price the phone lower than $350 unless they: are a large company, are earning massive revenue, are a known brand, or are bold enough to underpay and overwork their manufacturing team/crew/employees, etc.
definitely, $350 is definitely expensive to our expense, but that is because of the competition. giant companies can just mass produce to their liking since they already have the resources, they are a known brand, etc. this phone is crowdfunded just so this can be manufactured, which says a lot about enthusiast/niche/independent brands.
playing devil's advocate, the phone has great design ngl. even the software experience (knowing you don't text a lot/don't care about typos) is otherwise great, which is unlike most feature phones. and i definitely agree with most people, this must be priced at a lower cost. but knowing the tech-economic climate... it might just be wishful thinking.
I commented something similar. Not on purpose though
The idea of this phone is stupid IMO. You could buy a flip phone for $50 with more features and the same level of adictivity.
@@bsbx how do they expect to become bigger company if they offer less for more than others? Why would anyone buy that? I know such devices may be desired by some people but for that price they should offer better build quality, vibrations, more storage, smaller screen frames, etc.
@@Mintor94 exactly. i would buy this in a heartbeat if it wasn't for stuff like you mentioned. but again, the light phone is a niche product. (but it is not an excuse! ha!) i wouldn't expect it to boom in markets or stuff, but who knows? (the fact that this gets into the hands of youtubers surprise me.) but i definitely understand why a lot of people are not in favor of buying this product.
i follow the company on instagram, accompanying with the company tagged by customers in their "goodbye social media posts/stories". judging by their photos/profile, i think this phone is ABSOLUTELY perfect for them. but i think it is just a marginal few.
but again, i wish it were better. knowing this is a crowdfunded project, it's flight is unpredictable. we're definitely in need of something else. for now let's see where this thing goes. if they are able to supply a more quality product in the next iteration, maybe that's a win? i don't know exactly.
Ok, but who is buying a phone like this? No TH-cam, no games…. I can probably survive without TH-cam, but with no games?? Hell nah. Yes, I am addicted to my phone. So what? I would rather not buy this phone. No Minecraft? And for how long? Forever? No. Just no.
Its even less value for money than Apple.
Thats an achievement.
Haha funny Apple Value joke in 2020 funny

Its not a proximity sensor it detects light to increase the display brightness when it is in a dark environment.

This Manufacturer's Slogan: "A phone for human".

Plot twist : " the manufacturer is tim cook's son"
It reminds of S3 where Samsung used the slogan “DESIGNED FOR HUMANS”
I doubted a normal human will buy $300 phone with $30 worth of feature.
“Prolly no way of surviving what’s coming” sounds so ominous, I love it

As full time light phone user I believe getting rid of my smartphone has set me free. fun to see the inside, thanks for tearing one apart.
I like the concept, but for this price i would expect an aluminum body, a edge to edge e ink display and some kind of durability.
And still, i think 200 bucks would be plenty.
Agree and some elaborate support and even optional backlight for nighttime reading
50 eu max
And more and/or expandable storage... I get that the whole point of this phone is to be minimalist, but come on, listening to music isn't exactly that distracting of a task and it already supports it, so I'd want to be able to store more than like 3 songs on it.1 gig of space for music that you can't even expand in a $300 phone is a total ripoff.
$200 can get you a decent smartphone.
This crap is not even worth $80.
"A Whopping total of 1gb storage" 🤣🤣🤣
2:48 "The sides of the phone are made from plastic"
Ears: thumbs up for that!
I like the idea, it might be good for people who want a more simple less toxic ( social media) phone experience. But let's be honest who would buy it? I think a flip phone can do the same thing but it has a camera. Idk if there is analarmon them tho. I wouldn't think they would
300 bucks for something like this is a rip-off. Just don't use your phone, practice some willpower.
or just buy a regular featurephone for like 20 bucks from Wallmart.

I'm using mine since about a week, and I'm very happy with it. I'm hardcore addicted to screens, and I divided my lost time on phone/tablet by about 20.
I still have access to (some of) my podcasts, and I upload one audiobook at a time, which is pretty nice.
The only thing I'm really not happy with is the battery life - I don't understand why such a minimalist tool can't stay on for a month without the need of a charge.
Of course, you can probably accomplish the same with a 40 bucks Nokia but on another hand you won't have such a nice software experience.
Hi, since it's been 2 years from your comment I thought you might want an upgrade that will have enough battery to last a month. --- you could get a cheap android phone with an AMOLED display and large battery. Install a minimalist launcher, Set the mobile data mode to 3G and just easily uninstall all the social media and other apps you wouldn't want on a light phone. And ta-da! You have a phone cheaper than a light phone. But much better
Just wanted to add-on I'd recommend getting a OnePlus 7 Pro for this just because it has an edge-to-edge screen with curves so design is really good. You can always get some black round stickers to cover the back cameras and get a soft material black case with no advertising to give it that minimalistic look. your welcome!
