Digital minimalists rejoice as the brand new Light Phone 3 is here, but temper those expectations slightly as the price...

    It would be cheaper to get a mid-range Android device for $350 and install a minimalist launcher.

    I am surprised they only included 128 GB storage in a device that costs $800 (and that’s US style list prices, so it will be closer to ~$900 after VAT/import duties and so on…)

    This device will tank the company. Far too expensive for a minimalist phone.

    Yeaaa I was onboard with the light 2 and it was OK. Didn’t like its price tag but figured “vote with your wallet.”

    $800? Nah bruh
