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?

Why not a Punkt for less money? Or a Nokia for a lot less money.
I really don’t get these things. They say nothing about security, privacy, or updates on their site.
You want basic functionality for cheap, that’s the updated Nokia from 20 years ago. You want a decent modern phone with security, privacy, updates, and black and white icons? Get a Pixel, put GrapheneOS on it and download Articons.
This thing is a mashup of a candy bar phone and a 15 year old iPod, but unlike those things you can’t actually buy one, you need to prefund the company and wait another 7 months.
I can’t speak for everyone, but the lightphone can be a wifi hotspot. That’s a feature that makes it more attractive to me. I would get a minimalist phone to avoid carrying distractions around with me, but I would still want to be able to get online via a tablet or laptop.
Edit: I hadn’t looked at the punkt phones, but they also can be a wifi hotspot.
