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.
