Ohhhh. Makes sense. I was so confused.😂 Thanks for that!

That probably is why there's a finger print scanner then.

@@SupremeLeaderofParaguay True.

I like the NFC idea because I’ve been using Apple Pay a lot because I don’t have to take out my credit card to make purchases, which keeps my cc secured. I also like the fingerprint button, it makes it easy to verify who you are like Apple Pay requires your face or a passcode to verify who you are. I prefer my iPad for making purchases because the fingerprint is so much nicer to use in my opinion. I hope they get the nfc running right away because I use it for groceries and gas as well as online shopping. I am looking forward to lightphone 3, I preordered it and I am excited to have a useful tool focussed more on tools than social media.

That's so awesome man! I believe that there is almost no greater gift you can give your children than that of your loving presence. Best wishes to you and your family, dear friend.

Haha, that's awesome. It's definitely the best one imo ;)

Thanks man! Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one. The ringtone was just too groovy to pass up.😂

Haha can't say I blame you! You know I really like my II. ;)

Thanks so much brother! :)

I know they're talking about the possibility of supporting WhatsApp, because that's been a major drawback for many with previous models, but nothing has been finalized.

For me this was my first thoughts but: now I run what's app via android engine at my MacBook and I get online in the evening for my family to share the news with the grandparents and the family ground chats! And it works!!!! When someone need to contact you by day: SMS or quick call and ALL the other things can totally run in the evening 👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼 you will see: the most is not so important as you think 🙌🏼

probably never gonna happen my friend

Oh well that's good! I didn't notice that during the interview.

I totally agree with you about the price. @CropdusterMiller pointed out the sheer cost of producing it would be around $400 because of the body's material, extra bands, battery upgrades, etc. Honestly I think they could sell so much more if they cut a lot of those extra "frills" to lower the retail price. Besides, for the most part, the target demographic doesn't want that stuff. The whole point is to get away from the smartphone altogether, not a mere lesser version of what they already have. Thanks for the comment friend! Hope to see you around.

Thanks brother! Haha, sounds like you've been living light longer than "living light" has been around! I wish I could say the same, but better late than never I suppose.😄 Glad you're on KZfaq though, or else I wouldn't have met you! May Yahweh be with you my friend.

@@burntheboxes All glory to Yahweh!

Right, I feel the same way. It's almost like they went from 0 to 60 without any time in between. But, I understand the demographic they're trying to reach. Yes and no. These phones can connect to wifi but not to the internet (such as web browsers). "The battery life of the Light Phone II is approximately 1-2 days of 'light' regular usage." That's what the devs say on the website, and I would say that's pretty accurate from experience. I'm not sure what the battery life will look like on the III, but I do know the battery itself will be bigger due to the feature upgrades, so I assume it will weigh itself out to about the same. Here's the link to their FAQs page if you want it: www.thelightphone.com/faq Ah yes, you're right about the sensor. I forgot the II has that as well. I turned off that feature just a few weeks in 'cause I found it annoying lol, and it's been so long I forgot it existed. Good observation.

Yea I recently saw that too. I'm glad they decided to give us the option, though I still think it would be nice to have a designated port so you don't have to purchase an adapter. But, that's just me. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the feedback my friend!✌️

As of now the devs say they are looking into it, but it is not yet confirmed. The phone is still early in development, so it's hard to say what will and won't be supported. If you are interested, Jose Briones did an interview not too long ago with Kai and Joe (the devs), and they go into great detail about the phone and its development so far. Here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6uRjZCGy76beZs.html Hope that helps! :)

It won't unfortunately. :/

According to Tang (Light CEO and dev), it is definitely something they are looking into, but nothing has been finalized. :)

No, it's private.

Haha it is pricy!

Ah I know. Maybe one day! ;)
