I have owned the Light Phone 1 and the Light Phone 2 -- both were built with the intent to stay connected in a handful of ways without needing to have a full-spec'd, app-heavy, typically-sized smart phone.

If the intent and the vibe make sense to you, then it is a wonderful approach for a more 'minimalist' device: you can go outdoors, travel, hike, camp, etc., without having a smart phone to pick up and play with. I dig it.

If the intent and vibe don't make sense to you, the Light Phone may not be a good fit.

I really like the device, and use it often enough as a daily driver on weekends. Always glad to see some public attention on it.
