I've been using a Light Phone II as my daily driver since August, and I hope I never go back to my iPhone. The transition was pretty easy since I was already "off the grid", but I do sometimes have to toss my iPhone in my bag for things like Uber or the Starbucks app.
I've considered the Light Phone before but there are just some things I think it goes too far with such as lack of email and texted images. I consider these to be basic communication fundamentals and should be standard on dumbphones. It's not like they're closed-source software tied to specific companies.
Honestly, I don't mind the lack of email that much since I have always preferred writing on my computer. That said, I do hate the lack of image support. A low-res black-and-white image would be better than none at all...
Just set up an app blocker on your phone. There are some that are pretty intense, they work great.
You can consider getting the Qin F22 Pro.
but i want a slide out keybooaaarrddddd :_____________(
I would love a phone with a slide out keyboard
Isn't Light Phone II just an Android device?
