Love this video.. no lectures, no opinions, just provided the exact experience of using this wonderful phone. I am going on 6 months and still love it.
So happy to hear this feedback. Same here, I have no desire to go back.
I'm loving the idea, but freaking out to leave my adiction to my iPhone😅
Leave it mate. It'll be hard at first few weeks but after that there's no turning back to iPhone.
I have the LP2 and the texting experience is terrible. Yes, voice to text is nice, but it's also nice to not have to speak your texts all the time. Also, voice to text oftentimes gets the punctuation wrong. If you try to edit your voice to text, it's very difficult with the touchscreen. Overall, the touchscreen is bad, and makes navigating the phone difficult along with texting. The Light Phone is a phone that cries out for physical buttons. I am considering going over to the Sunbeam F1.
I walked down to the river today with no phone. It was quiet. There was no Kim, no Kanye, no Euphoria, no Russia, no film photos, no new brands, no ads.
Just ducks.
It was simple.
I want this phone but I’m scared to take the leap.
You can try simplifying your current phone - removing apps, installing a minimal launcher (if you are on Android) and setting restrictions. There are many tutorials online if you need some help.

I've watched several videos on the lite phone, and this was actually the most helpful just seeing and hearing how it works! Great job
Thanks Graham! I appreciate you letting me know! :) Glad you like it 🙌
same here ! Most of the other presentation show the face of a guy talking about the product... We just want to see the freakin phone that's all !!
I agreed especially the text to talk and gps feature. Nice to actually see it in a real life situation.
This stands out as the most informative review of this phone. There are dozens of sit down videos that carefully explain features one by one, but this seems to answer all the important questions in the realest way possible. We really just want to know what it will be like every day using this phone and this really does a great job of plainly displaying that. Thank YOU and well done.👍
Wow thank you so much! I’m glad my show don’t tell approach was valuable to you!
Woah I love this! You took a different approach from the regular tech reviews and painted a realistic picture of how the product works.
Well done my friend 🙏🏾💜
Thanks man! I appreciate that! :)
This video is how all product reviews should be. Excellent.
I originally went to smartphones during the later days of Blackberry (mid-late 2000s) specifically to simplify my life. A device that put a digital camera, GPS, MP3, calendar/other productivity tools WAS simplification at a time when each of those things was a separate device. It made my life a lot easier because I actually used those things. Then, slowly, social media took over, the doom scroll evolved, and suddenly I find that this tool that once helped me so much now drains me. The thing is, I don't want to completely digitally disconnect, I just don't want it immediately at hand. I want the old days of digital convenience back where I had simple tools at hand but still needed to make a point to go to my computer to do anything more. This phone is so close to what I actually want, but two things are missing before I could make the switch: first, I NEED a calendar. Not having a calendar is 100% a nonstarter for me. A camera is also very important to me and I know it's a much more complicated ask, but I just want one. Part of the joy I get from experiencing something is documenting it and having a record to revisit, and I don't want to re-clutter my life with an extra device. I don't know enough about eink to know if that's feasible, but I feel like I've seen relatively recent displays with some decent black and white displays. I'm sold as soon as I can get those things.
They have a calendar now.
also HiSense do e-ink phones with cameras, check them out
Totally hear you. Which is why I made this → Turn your iPhone into a Light Phone II (dumbphone)
ruclips.net/video/NU7G55FSJzI/видео.html hopefully this does it for you!
Oh, this is a wonderful and practical peek into what it's like to own one. Beautiful song, too. THANK YOU!
Glad you liked it Amanda! It's my friend's song actually, I love it.

life is chill you wake up at 1.15! I need this lifestyle ha ha ha
😂 that’s the life man
This simple video confers what tons of reviews couldnt. Artlike in approach.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
i watched this once but since then i cant stop watching it.
This shows perfectly the simplicity and peace of mind without a smartphone.
Its like heaven man..
Love this 🤟🏻 thank you for commenting :)
I’m really enjoying the ASMR from all the movements, button presses and car sounds honestly.
I just ordered mine for the new year, Ive wanting to make the jump for three years now, even though I'm borderline broke I know I need this phone. So I financed it, cheers to less.
Loved this real life experiance, no explanations needed. I just ordered mine last week, grey too, can't wait for the next shipment to arrive!
So excited for you! :D and I'm glad you liked the video!
This makes me so excited to get mine in the mail!! I've been taking steps to get to the point of using a light phone, deleting social media, blocking apps and websites etc. Now I'm ready for the light phone. I love the white on white and the sounds for the alarm/ notification.
I'm excited for you! It'll change your life if you let it.
@@Lessification 2 weeks in and it's completely changed it! Loving my decision
@@carlosvergara2114how is it going now* carlos?
@@magnesnor it’s still good! The only bad thing is the maps doesn’t really work properly for me at times so I have to use the gps in my car. But other than that everything is good with it!
I have been using mine for a couple months now! It was so easy to transfer my iphone xr at&t sim card to my light II phone! Love it! I really don’t miss the iphone although i keep it for wifi music player. I think my light phone is so much more secure.
Glad to hear it! ☺️
I love the simplistic creativity in your video. It's so calming. Thanks for this !
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
I almost want a light phone now. I completely know it’s not what I need and diviates absurdly from the propose of minimalism and not buying what you don’t need by this video is practically a comercial video haha.
You could always do this instead. Turn your iPhone into a Light Phone II (dumbphone)
ruclips.net/video/NU7G55FSJzI/видео.html
This video just made me realize that I want this phone! I didn’t think you could do maps & podcasts on that!!!!
Did you get one?
Dude. Just got to say. This video is amazing! I've never seen a video quite like this. Great job.
Thank you Julia! I really appreciate your comment :)
Hello.
Thank you for the wonderful video.
I'm a Japanese author!
Due to my smartphone addiction, I started using a dumbphone for my mental health.
I've written a book and videos about my experience.
I found your video very interesting.
I think digital detox is necessary worldwide.
I've heard that dumbphones are experiencing a resurgence overseas, so I'm hopeful.
I hope there will be more simple phones like this!
Thank you for your nice comment :) I’m glad you enjoyed it!
The day the light phone 2 allows Spotify I’m in
That would be pretty huge.
I hope they would make it happen.
They said it's actually Spotify who hasn't agreed because they'd have to make a separate interface with support, Lightphone would do it though
This is cute but I love it so much!
I’m glad you do!
Such an interesting concept, I definitely use my phone too much that prevents me from staying present. Bad habit! What is the battery life like?
This phone has definitely helped me stay more present.
Two days.
It varies depending on the carrier, signal strength, usage of Wifi and how frequently you turn on Airplane mode.
This video single handily convinced me to buy a light phone (i guess the 20% sale did too lol), finally an actual video of the phone were i felt I could relate to using the phone.
This is my favorite review of the LightPhone 2 so far! It shows a lot of features the phone has that other reviewers haven’t shown.
I’m glad you liked it! :)
Bravo.....this is the way to show off what this phone is......chapeau
That map is a game charger for utility with LP. Bang on!
LP. Bang on?
@@Lessification “LP” Light Phone. “Bang on” is more or less like saying great job
@@chadbaptiste4227 Haha thanks for explaining that! I was lost 😅
That's a great song!
The best video around this ever. Love it.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
I get mine this week! I like that it works a tad slower, forcing me to be patient.
I’m excited you get to try it out! It was a fun experiment for sure
I'm so excited to get mine I just ordered it & am ready to live my life without being distracted constantly about social media & useless apps in my life
I'm excited for you!
The delay that the phone and the constant flashing will drive me crazy
Love this ♥️ just preordered this phone! I’m excited thank you 🙌🏽
🙌🏻 The Light Phone 2 or 3?
@@Lessification I went with the 2!
Awesome video! Enjoyed it :)
So glad to hear it Jose! 🙌🏻
Couldn't find Ghost Peaks on Spotify. Great video. Will hope for a longer one.
They're not currently on Spotify, but if you're interested in Ghost Peaks you can download some songs on their Facebook page here facebook.com/ghostpeaks or if you want their whole album email nhirka1@gmail.com and he can hook you up with PayPal and send the album files.
You want to see a longer video?
Yes! This video is very pleasing!
smiled so hard when you played lucrezia's italian podcast because i love her youtube videos! while i don't think i'm ready to make the jump to a lightphone just yet, this video was a really nice introduction to what it would be like using it on a typical day. thanks for posting this!
Haha I’m glad it did 😄 and you’re welcome!
Thank you for your time 😊
I got my screen protector on a little off-center just like yours! Thanks for the video. I am enjoying my Light Phone
Haha, it wasn’t easy to put on. Glad to hear it!
Lightphone2 is wonderful had mine 2 years and going.
That is impressive!
This reminds me of my Kindle touch as it has txt to speech and built-in mp3 player and is e-ink
Yeah it’s basically the same screen
Great video for a great product. Dumbphone….more like Lifephone.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Really great video. Useful and practical - thank you for taking the time.
The light phone III is out now. But! This is one is better in my opinion because it serves its purpose. The other one is ok but too bulky and too many options that it’s getting out of the dumbphone or minimalism idea. I wish they did a light phone IIII similar to this but with better and faster performance when it comes to its uses such as texting, making calls, scrolling etc. Oh and the credit card idea was so cool. The LP 1 and 2 combined could be a success with fastness that catches up with today’s phones would make sales fly !
I think the light phone 3 will address a lot of the performance issues that us users experienced with the light phone 2. But it doesn’t come out till January 2025
Perfect video!
Thank you!!
Ohh the music at the end is so good but I cannot find it on RUclips or Spotify. ;-; Where can I find this ?
Unfortunately, Ghost Peaks isn't on Spotify, but if you're interested in them, you can download some songs on their Facebook page here facebook.com/ghostpeaks OR email nhirka1@gmail.com for a PayPal link to buy their album.
The UX looks pretty bad but the concept I love
I love the UI, but agreed the UX is lacking a bit-it's a little laggy and not very forgiving. But overall I still very much enjoy using the phone.
Un saluto dall’Italia👋 video stupendo!
Thank you for linking the card case! I was about to ask! :)
You’re so welcome!
Awesome video. Love the angles and love the song. Thanks.
You're very welcome! 😄
beautiful
Thank you 🙏🏻
great stuff. more video plz
Thank you! What types of more videos would you like to see?
Where did you get the card holder that attaches to the back of the phone? Cheers
amzn.to/315mUji it just sticks to the back of the light phone case
Thanks I had a similar question!
great video
Thank you 🙏🏻
Do you have both the protective glass AND the silicon case on your phone? It looks like you do have the glass, but I just wanted to make sure. I'm highly considering getting a Light Phone II and 100% probably going to actually do it, hopefully at some point before the end of the year. I've watched so many videos that review the phone, it's pros and cons, as well as how it has changed people's lives for the good. Thank you for making your videos as they are helpful to someone like me who is trying to decide the best route to go!
Yes, I have both! Light Phone life is great and I highly recommend it! Best of luck on your decision and I hope you get as much out of it as I did.
@@luigirausch4913 Thank you the quick response! I actually just won a bid on a basically brand new Light Phone II from eBay and it should get to me by next weekend, so I'm hoping to be able to get it all set-up by then. I've watched so many RUclips videos on it and it seems like it is fairly easy to initially set it up using their website and the dashboard. Anything in particular that I should be aware of since it'll be my first time using it?
How are you doing?
Using the music feature, do you have to download stuff to it like you used to an MP3 player? I use Spotify daily and am wondering if you could use that.. thanks!
You'd have to buy and download music and manually add it like an mp3 player. It currently has NO Spotify support.
exactly how do you buy and download music to the LPII?….. I don’t have a computer, but I do have a tablet …..
@@99debris if your tablet has USB ports you may be able to hook it up if you've got downloaded music. If it's an ipad, they may make a dongle for that, I'm not sure
@@99debris Using a platform like iTunes and then dragging and dropping the music files into the Lightphone Dashboard on their website. It will then download the songs to your LPII wirelessly.
This felt like watching an indie short film.
That’s a heck of a compliment, thank you!
@@Lessification would definitely have added it to my letterboxd diary if it was available there!!
I just got my light phone. Love it. Though, where do I buy songs to download and put on my phone?
You can drag and drop songs directly from iTunes!
Really great video - also love the name of your channel. You found a new subscriber. :) Have you read the book digital minimalism? Highly recommend it. Do you also ues the apple earphones for calls? Mine have a very loud electrical noise when on calls...
Why thank you Aike! Glad you like the name :) and yes, love that book.
I have used them before yes.
@@civilianfrfr true, but I didn't seem to have any problems with mine and the Light Phone.
1More wired buds work perfectly for both music and calls.
Wireless buds are tricky. Company admitted to me they haven't done a good job vetting out best compatibility. My Samsung Live buds had the same distortion as your Apple buds. Had other problems with them so I traded in and upgraded to Samsung Buds Pro. Excellent with music; acceptable on calls but still not as good as the 1More Dual Driver wired buds..
Where did you get your card holder case? I love it
Hey! I have a link for it in the description of the video!
though i admire this phone, for the price I'd just get a Nokia feature phone like the 105 4G. well of course it doesn't even have navigation nor bluetooth music, reducing even more on what can be done with it.
👍🏻
I would totally buy this phone, but it’s $300, and I could get a quality dumb phone for $40.
You’re not wrong
This is brilliant 👌
Love it, too bad my work requires a chatting app.
Bummmmer
Very nice video. I'm excited to get mine soon next month. Can I ask, what is that on the back of your phone? Looks like it's holding credit cards or something.
Excited for you! Yes, it is! There's a link in the description if you're interested in one for your light phone :)
I need that phone, thank you for video.
Loved this one Weege!!!
Yay!! Thanks Patience :D it's one of my favs
What do you have on the back of the phone? For the wallet
There’s a link in the video description
thank you I'm getting mine on in 2 days
Let me know!
It's a very cool device and the map seems at least usable although I don't know just from this video if it's at leatt comparable to google maps. What's truly missing for me unfortunately is WhatsApp and Telegram... I didn't even have data until 2019 so I clearly remembered the days of not having access to the most used messaging app and maps outside my home and how unconvinient it was. Maybe I should just root my regular phone and get rid of social media
I hear you which is why I made a video on how to turn an iPhone into a light phone so you could still use your messaging apps
ruclips.net/video/NU7G55FSJzI/видео.html
Incredible video, i'm about to make the switch back to a basic phone because I feel like i'm missing so much life and my ADHD brings me back to the smartphone and I dont even like it.
If this phone just had spotify it would be perfect for me.
Honestly like this phone. My main issue is that I find it hard to pay 300 euro for a phone without usb-c...
Why is usb-c so important to you? This phone is like anti-tech so it’s kinda fitting lol
Where did you get that wallet thing on the back of your phone? I would like to have one for my Light Phone 2
There should be a link in the video’s description!
What song is playing when it’s the top down view while you have earbuds on
Check the video description ☝🏻
Il podcast in italiano é top
Certo! :)
I can't seem to find that amazing song that u played? What is it called?
It’s in the description of the video ☝🏻
Great video nice and simple what’s the music?
Thank you! On my way by Ghost Peaks (more info in the video's description)
$300 for that is extremely unreasonable.
It isn’t cheap I know, but at least it has a livingOS and they keep coming out with updates to make it better and better all the time.
what is the wallet u used behind ur phone?
There should be a link in the description of the video!
What is the song you listen to on your headphones? I love it but never heard it before.
It’s in the description ☝🏻 glad you like it so!
MFA would be the only thing stopping me trying one of these.
What is MFA?
@@Lessification multi factor authentication
How to you add music/podcast? Also how much music can it hold or data?
Using the Light Phone Dashboard on their website. 1GB of music storage.
Which case are you using for your light? I like it as it allows you to use card holder
The case is from light phone www.thelightphone.com/products/accessories and the link for the cardholder is in the description :)
The light phone 2 funciona com fone de ouvido bluetooth?
Excelente vídeo
Valeu obrigado 😅
Grazie mille! Bella domanda, ma non idea…
I'm still waiting for the release in India, probably gonna take forever....
Does this accept the same SIM card that is in a newer IPhone ?
Yes, it works with the same Nano-SIM card
LESS IS MORE
You get it!
How do you put on music? Internal app or spotify?
Internal app via Light Phone’s dashboard website
To bad that ghost peaks song not on spotify 😕 I don't use facebook
You see if these phones were made in 2007 the world wouldn't be so chaotic
Dumb phones did exist then lol
If someone calls you from an unknown number or text you from an unknown number will it still come through?
Yes.
Man that thing is slow. And the Light Phone isn't cheap either. $300 for this thing. You could grab a used smart phone for less money and have more functionality, and I don't mean social functionality. It's quite simple to disable social apps and choose which notifications you want to receive. If you use an Android phone, there are launchers that you can download for free that will completely change the look of your home screen. You could just have a black background and a list of apps if you want. A smartphone is a dressed up dumb phone, you can always turn off anything you don't want and still have all of the nice tools that phones like the Light Phone either don't have or aren't optimized for. I turned off social notifications myself and it's so quiet. I'll get to them when I get to them, or maybe I won't.
With a device like the Light Phone, however, it forces me into not using the apps that are damaging to me. I have ADHD, meaning I don't have enough dopamine. So a device like a smartphone that is designed from the ground up to give dopamine hits is a hundred times more effective on people like me than NT folks. Coupled with apps designed for even more dopamine hits, it makes it even more addictive.
And I've already heard, "Well just have some discipline," or "Turn off your notifications/delete the apps," and "Just set screentime limits." Those all come from a place of not understanding ADHD and the way our brains work.
@@VX300 Interesting. So I'll ask out of curiosity and to learn, not in a negative or accusatory way, but if you were to try and delete everything and make a smartphone into just a phone with extra tools, what is the thought process? Are you not able to even begin deleting apps? Or if you did minimize the phone's function, would that certain part of your brain override the discipline you tried to impose on yourself and you'd begin undoing it? Maybe you find other ways on the phone to get that dopamine? I want to understand what you mean, so if you could explain a little bit then I'd love to read it.
Oh I hear you! Which is why I made this video on how to turn an iPhone into a dumbphone ruclips.net/video/NU7G55FSJzI/видео.html
What’s the deats on that song at the end
Hey! I have deats for it in the description of the video!
I using a Nokia 6300 in 2023, left distraction
Oh nice!
What a great video and channel would you consider to do a collab with Boswell?
Thank you! What is Boswell?
best ❤️
What’s the name of this song and where can I find it?
Check the description of the video ☝🏻
i would say allowing 3d party chat app like whatsapp would be either good or bad thing
I think it would start to make the phone too complex.
Why does it blink a black screen in between like that?
From what I understand, that is how an e-ink display refreshes the screen-it has to clear it like an etch-a-Sketch lol
@@Lessification makes sense but doesn't it annoy you?
@@Goldiewashere the blinking doesn't at all, but it's a little slow and laggy sometimes; however, not enough to be a deal-breaker by any means.
