The Light Phone 2 is a 4G phone with a beautiful black & white matte E-ink display. It's a more reliable, durable, and practical phone, now featuring essential tools like messaging, an alarm clock, the ability to get a ride-share home or a list of simple directions. All so you can leave your smartphone behind more often.

Two years later, no Google Maps and non of the extra functionality advertised before lunch. The price is therefore not justifiable.

I finally recived my light phone 2 after a half a year waiting since ordering in July. I have never received a more deceiving device in my life. 1) On the page its very vage the features of the phone when I ordered it in august. On the commercial on the other hand it very easy to believe that this phone comes with a musicplayer, map directions and a calculator. Refering to this one: https://www.facebook.com/theligh... But nothing of this excist, and therefor it differs little from a simple phone for quarter the amont of money. The hold fundament getting this phone is therefore gone for me. 2) Its increadible slow, little responsive and inaccurate. To text a simple message takes endlessly amount of time. Everyone that has yet tried to get one simple word right. 3) The sound in the phone is unbearable. The speaker sounds broken and the voices become thin and a bit twisted So for my this does not even work as to call or to text, so I would say you are left with nothing!

@walark Hi Walid! We wish we could offer the phone at a lower price point but being a small team designing custom/bespoke hardware and software makes it difficult to compete with tech giants who can leverage existing infrastructure and economies of scale to produce extremely inexpensive tech.

@walark I mean, compared to a $1,000 smartphone, it is a quarter of the price... though it offers less than a quarter of the solutions.

@walark @joehollier Why not partner with one of the larger Chinese brands who have the purchasing power and distribution reach to make this a success. That will allow you to focus on software and bring the costs *way* down (It needs to be 150 euro - 200 dollars make)

@joehollier Hi Joe! I understand your point. Don't get me wrong, the phone is very appealing and i really like it, but still not convinced about your pricing strategy. A 400$ basic/minimalist phone is a bit over the top. (IMHO)

@rubes_world A 1k phone is at then end of the price spectrum. You can have a decent phone for 200-300$.

Oh the difficulties of the 1%

@androidlove this doesn't solve a problem that's specific to the 1%, nor is it priced beyond the means of a lot of people (assuming they value their own mental health). However, it does appear to solve a problem that only a particular type of people are acutely aware of. I think that will change in the future as phones get mashed even further into our eyeballs.
