00:00 Intro

799 is insane for that kind of phone, to be honest. Especially since they are selling it at half the price right now (while still making profits, I assume).

[jaymianderson]

I absolutely love your "hand made" approach to video content and your sense of humor.

[terenz-mp]

your videos are a breath of fresh air. it feels like casual conversation with a friend rather than the usual attention grabbin bs.

[TheGardenGame]

I use my iPhone as a “supercomputer” and my light phone for work. The only drawbacks to the LP2 is the battery and micro usb. Otherwise, I like it.

[ronnyandernie]

I wish Boox Palma was a phone but it is absolutely not. No cellular, no GPS, no NFC. It's an Android e-reader that is phone-sized.

[paulas_lens]

You plugging in the USB-C into your cardboard LPIII made me laugh and subscribe.
Pre-ordered the III about an hour ago.

[ChrisDellamorte]

The Boox Palma isn't an actual phone, there's no sim card option. It does have Google Play access though

[DanCroll-vtcr]

I already try to limit what I do on my phone, but YouTube is definitely a time drain for me. I'm not sure I could go with the Light Phone II, but I am seriously considering the Light Phone III, especially considering that they designed it with future-proofing in mind (ex: possibility of Spotify, replaceable battery and metal frame, etc). How does the navigation feature work on these phones? The navigation is a huge component and one of the main ways I use my phone on a daily it actually have a map overlay or is it only old-school turn by turn directions?

[TechOutAdam]

This has got to be the coolest phone and concept I've seen in a LONG TIME.

[ASC]

Funny: It's the first time I've heard noise coming from an LP, even after watching 100 videos about it, so thank you! Cute video, and the cardboard helps me see the actual size it will be. Can't wait my LPIII!!

[moredatesmorefiber]

great video my friend. i love the cardboard phone. great idea!

[timschick]

Awesome video, thanks! Really enjoying your content lately!

[hamingnu]

Awesome video as always, I like the touch of having a to-scale cardboard cutout (seems properly-scaled basing off the dimensions that've been published, anyways), and I think besides the SRP as of now - I think this phone's gonna take off because it targets a crowd of people who don't want the perceived 'clunkiness' or lag of an E-ink screen. Sure, it still won't get to the people who just want a dumbed down small smartphone (I've personally got an iPhone SE 2016 for that), but if let's say only 14% of the dumbphone market is totally willing to go with a Light Phone 2 even with how restrictive it is, I think for the Light Phone 3 it'll be something like 30% of the community would be open to getting one which I hope is going to be good for the light phone company because the more sales they get, the lower the prices will get, and perhaps the more development they'll be able to pour into maintaining these devices for longer (I hope the LPII and LPIII will be fully supported even past 2035, or something).

Once again, your videos are always satisfying to watch because of how simple but polished they are, thanks!

[squidlyminimalisim]

I think that light phone should release a 3 e ( short for e ink) that is the form factor and e ink screen of the lightphone 2 but with all the updates they can fit in it from the lightphone 3

[kumarvibhankar]

It's way too expensive. I don't get it why people who claim to live simple life always buy expensive stuffs. There are dumb phones wich cost 20$ if you wanna cut screen time why not buy a dumb phone which cost 20$ instead people are buying something which cost 800$

[paulas_lens]

The lack of spying is a HUGE feature for me.

[TomDavisMD]

Excellent video, no lengthy intro, straight to the point, loaded with the promised information is a simple, concise format. 

Many YTebers could learn from Andrew.

[jennapool]

Is there a way to have the same number on both phones (a smartphone and a light phone) or do you have to get a whole separate number?

[filippoadami]

Hi, I would like to switch from an iPhone to a light phone, do you suggest I pre-order LP3 or get LP2?
Thanks.

The texting is what ruined the Light Phone II for me. It’s too clunky and awkward, and the whole “it will dissuade you from texting too much” line from the company seems like a cop out for poor design. I don’t text very often, but when I do, I don’t want to fumble with slow responsiveness and poor detection from my device. If they fix that, I might be willing to give the 3rd edition a try.
