- Follow along our process as we bring the Light Phone III to life:
www.thelightph...
Having made over 250 Light Phone III prototypes, our June/July Engineering Validation Test (E.V.T.) production was a success. These looks-like, works-like prototypes are assembled with all the intended materials and final manufacturing processes to ensure everything works as expected. There are some things we’ll continue to optimize of course, though we are happy to report that there were no serious flaws and that our schedule is still on track. Read more about this prototype and our next steps on the blog post.
The software shown is a demo app we created to test some hypotheses about the architecture of the LightOS on the new device and to explore gestures like swiping and texting as we keep working on getting the LightOS ready for supporting the Light Phone III. The UX refinement is a work in progress.
You guys should also promote this for kids. I bought the light phone 2 for my kid because I wanted them to be able to text and listen to music, and have no access to regular apps. It worked great and was a better alternative than a flip phone or smart with monoriting. With the light phone, I didn't have to think about my kid getting on apps I didn't approve. I'll probably end up getting the light phone 3 for my next kid who currently has a flip phone.
Yeah I had a friend that loved my phone and got his son one!!! LP2 FTW
I have multiple friends who ended up getting LP2 for their little ones after seeing mine. Mine was intended to reduce screen time around my 4 years old.
@harvivekdhindsa6809 , well, you can actually get for $350 I believe. And it's well worth it for your kid versus a smart phone.
@@123youknowmeyothis is my opinion too 👌🏼
its $500... "kids" arent paying that... grossly overpriced money grab
the world needs this as a genuine option/ alternative
but it should be around 100 dollars.. they are going to sell it for 500 dollars... lmaoooo
@@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384they're not some company who can easily mass-produce these devices, hence they're expensive.
@@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384 500 for pre sale. 800 in the end
@@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384 nah, probs 300 would still be good with the camera
i really like the silence of this video is so calm and mindfulness
Yup which is exactly the experience using a light phone
Looks great. A couple of things: one day of battery life seems very little for a phone that has so limitted functionalities.
It woild be great to have a mini jack input. If music is one of the chosen things the phone does, I think it shoud do it right and, as a musician, "right" means a headphone jack. Also I think it makes sense because if you want to go "light" you don't want headphones that need charging nor adapaters.
This phone has music capabilities right?
Yes@@EpitomeProductionz
No headphone jack?!?
its also 800 f*cking dollars
i was sad about the headphone jack too, but i will just get some usb-c headphones and it'll be ok
Absolute gorgeous, i love how the design look so retro yet still futuristic in some way ❤
Very interested in the camera. The funkier, the better! Could be so artsy 😍 I'd kill for a setting where the screen could still mimic the e-ink display. I'm too addicted to e-ink to go back to fluid scrolling-- fluid scrolling makes me nauseous. E-ink feels so professional. It's why I got the Remarkable E-Ink paper tablet. It's just the best
Nice looking phone! 🔥 Keep up the hard work guys.
SOOO Glad I preordered! Cannot wait! BTW, I cancelled my Techless order the moment I saw this phone released. ❤🔥
Having ordered one. I'm excited for January.
@@jackdotblueI so wish this comes true.
Same!!!
Ahhhh! January Club, too 🥳🥳🥳
That scrolling is so smooth omg!!
WHAT IS THIS SORCERY
It's an OLED rather than e-ink so yea, it would be.
no, it's not. Are you blind?
@@sqlevoliciouswhy be so rude
@@sqlevoliciousit is smooth, are you a dumbazz?
Looks great! I’m glad that I preordered ❤ Do you think about it to have a red backlight option/switch for removing the blue light emmision? If not red, the warm white or orange/amber backlight option would be amazing. The iOS could be setup like that and I’d love to see it on Light as well!
Interesting ideas for us to consider for sure, thanks for that feedback
I'd love to see a 2FA authentication app on this.
This is also something that I think has gone unaddressed with most minimal phones. I understand the desire to want as few apps on it as possible, but for me 2FA is a necessity even if I'm not even accessing the website from my phone. You could use text message codes too, I suppose.
Just in case it wasn't implied in the original comment: passkey support in addition to the standard rolling one-time passwords would eliminate the last barrier for me carrying this every day.
I'm sure it can be done!🚀
It’s a pity that it doesn’t have weather on the home screen. This tool is such a life saver. Already preordered one, hoping that they will support weather in the future.
You guys should keep that design! I love the way it’s engineered.
I'm really pumped for this. Beautiful and thoughtful engineering.
WhatsApp for communication just like SMS. Even dropping voice notes, etc. But I like the width due to easier reach and better typing experience. Keep up!
Can’t wait to get mine!
My LP2’s rubber case has turned to plastic one already!
I can't wait for this phone! My 11-year old kid is clamoring for a phone of her own and there's no way I would give her a smart phone, but a phone like this might really help her develop more independence without getting sucked in to the device. In any case, maybe she'll be a convert after she sees my light phone when it arrives.
Gabb make a great kids phone. My four kids 12-18 all have one. Looks and functions like a smartphone without internet. Or you could go with light too.
lmfao, that's hilarious that you think your kid doesn't have the ingenuity to figure out how to use a computer on their own. Only a bad parent would buy them this crap instead of teaching them how to use the computer and the internet safely.
@@sqlevoliciousfr, I get if you have a kid that’s like 5-8 and you want them to be able to contact you in emergencies, but for a 15-18 year old? It negatively impacts their social life, it makes them resent you for it and it makes them unable to limit them selves when they eventually do get a smart phone. If you never give a kid sugar at any point in their life, you think they’re going to limit themselves, no, they’ll gorge themselves and make themselves sick. Same with them not being able to handle money. Sure if the kids want to get a light phone as a companion phone, to mainly use but have a backup phone for other aspects of life, sure, but as their one and only phone. No. Not even an adult should have only a dumb phone and nothing else.
Wow, this is so great… after Steve job’s idea of compact phone..i see a solid goal in this. I would suggest you guys to improve your advertisements to have a greater reach out,
Please please release this soon! I’ll be buying one.
Excited to get mine! Looks amazing so far!
Show us the camera 😭
They said that happens in October/November
@@abdullahvirk8130 thank you for sharing; I clearly missed that!
@@abdullahvirk8130 so sounds like it's crap. No way it's hard to get a modern camera engineered these days, lmfao. You guys are falling for an investor scam.
@@sqlevoliciousfor some ppl, it's a scam, but this is like a niche product
@@ryoukaip What does it does different from any cheap old or new nokia for example? it's just a "dumb" phone, but way more expensive.
Love how this is shaping up. Being able to make mobile payments would be huge!
they future proofed this with an nfc chip so it might be available one day
I went and preordered - the phone has most of what I need, except for travel and banking apps. If Lyft or Uber support could be added, that'd be fantastic.
Looking forward to my next phone! So psyched to have mine on pre-order already.
Gonna miss the physical headphone jack though.
Super stoked for this- right now its a race between Techless and Light to see who can put out their phones first (hopefully Techless puts out an update soon because summer is almost over).
thanks for sharing about Techless had no idea of this company. Currently using the LP II, waiting on LP III delivery
So glad I preordered, I love my lp 2 but I'm excited for the camera and c charger upgrades
I was just saying the lag in the eink screen for the II was really annoying for texts. Super excited for the III. Anyone who is interested should pre-order since it's discounted right now!
I was hoping for an update soon and here it is!
Light phone needs to partner with spotify fr fr
meh, spotify barely pays their artists
I'd rather pay for physical or digital copies and be able to transfer them onto it, like an old Ipod. But that's just a personal preference I guess.
@@SneakyMex yeah I like free music
this is amazing!!! Whenever I talk about this phone to people and Im like this one is so much better... it has a camera I feel kinda dumb but genuinely super excited for this to drop. For folks that preordered can we a get a case?
Cant wait to get mine. As others have said - I'm excited to see the camera!
I wish so bad I could afford this! It has everything I've ever hoped to see in a Light phone. I wanted to switch about two years ago. But I wished for some features the Light II didn't offer. Good job, Light!
I know the price has to be high with all the stuff going into making it. I just wish it was slightly more accessible to folks with lower incomes. Bc we all need to be more unplugged from endless scrolling, blue light screens, ect.
I know it's not an ideal solution, that cost is our reality, but we do offer a few payment plans via Affirm and ShopPay at checkout that might help
Excited I pre-ordered! If I love it I'll switch my whole family over to these
Pre-ordered one, can’t wait!
The screen is gorgeous!
how so? It's black and white. Are you severely color bljnd or something?
I fuckin love the design... now for me personally it would be amazing to have an offline ai voice assistant on it with whom I can talk to if necessary - while I still dont need to interact with a phone screen - and a paiment method. for the rest... I'm considering this as a future phone possibility
Fabulous. This is what I'm looking for
Adding a dictionary function would be nice. When I am reading it's very helpful to look up a word on other devices. Not essential in any way. but it would be a nice addition.
Appreciate the feedback, cheers, definitely something we can consider
Looks amazing! I am really excited. Will it support Wifi Calling? And I heard something in the comments about sharing images via chat: Is that possible via SMS or with internet?
looking good 💙
Cannot wait! Good work light folks!
Wow the interface responsiveness looks so much better than my current light phone!
at 24fps? Are you stupid?
But unfortunately they got rid of the e-ink display to do this
Woah….the scrolling is so smooth
Did you more away from E-ink?
They did. This one has an AMOLD display. That will allow for the kinds of blacks that will allow the OS to work the same as in prior models, but tbh, I’m not a huge fan of the move. It makes this thing into just another smartphone, except one that has a gimped OS. It could literally just run Android, and someone will inevitably make that happen….
The lightphone II had a "gimped" OS and people hacked that too. I like this direction, but I understand being bummed about losing e-ink. I'm happy to have a simple OS with an overcapable screen, the viewfinder for the camera will likely look great and it's worth the transition away from e-ink for that addition alone. Will someone hack it into an android device, yeah. Just up to the end user if they want to leave it stock or not.
@@dstinnettmusic also bummed about the switch to AMOLED, feels way less 'light'. built-in lag and things not working 100% fluidly should be celebrated as part of the dumb phone experience, to encourage people to not want to use it so much (if composing large messages is such a chore due to e-ink, maybe you should call instead). it also gives it way more character. and the last thing we need is more LEDs blasted at us. i really like what this company has done in the past but i'm not totally sold on the III yet and may cancel my pre-orders.
Wow so beautiful
Will you have support for MFA apps, like Microsoft/google authenticator?
Am happy that i pre-ordered...
Congratulations.
Need this for peoples in Congo 🇨🇩
Excited!!!!!
So excited to get mine! Keep it up!
Honestly im pretty excited i might switch to this after it comes out but i need more info before i do
That refresh rate so fast!
Will there be an available case?... I pre-ordered...
Yep! We will be sharing options for accessories to all pre-orders prior to shipping and we plan to have a case, screen protector and hopefully a few other goodies :)
Looks great. I ordered one for my daughter last month. She’s excited for January.
Can’t wait to get mine!
Is there a shortcut for finding contacts in the contact library and messages? For example typing in a name will bring you to any contacts or messages with that name, then select the one you want? Or any kind of keyword search within messages to find a convo?
It doesn't look like you took ANY of the feedback comments from people on the new phone. You were on the right road with the Lightphone I. As a designer, I was hoping LIght would ante up...alas, not so. I have wanted to switch over to Lightphone for a long time, but then heard the new version was coming out so have been tracking it. I'll stick to my regular brick (sigh)...
I've had this idea stuck in my head of a phone that's basically a combination of the light phones 2 and 3 -- a flip phone with a monochrome OLED bottom touchscreen for inputs, and a non-touch e-ink top screen for reading stuff.
dude's contact list is total fire
I’m getting this one too.
Loving it!
This is shaping up beautifully.
As an early backer could I get Dostoevsky’s cell number? I have some questions
Yo looking real good. Does texting have predictive text, autocorrect, and (most importantly) swipe?
It doesn't currently have those features, but we could definitely consider them going forward, and suspect this new screen would make those possible in a way that the E-ink Light Phone II may not have been able to
@@thelightphoneIII thank you. As a prospective customer, swipe is honestly mandatory for me
If I could suggest one addition to all models, I’d like to see an info bar at the top of the screen that stays no matter what tool is open that shows the date and time and maybe battery. I don’t like having to close the screen and reopen it to see what time it is if I’m in the middle of something.
Looks so good!
it’s beautiful
love this!! will it support rcs? (saying this as an iphone user who relies on imessage haha)
il est tellement beau que je vais pas le toucher. MEILLEURE DETOX EVER
Excited for this!
Proper excited to get this and get away from my smartphone
Love the chonk of it!
Having font sizing options would be cool. I find it a bit bigger for the aesthetics.
Options for adjusting the type sizing is something we look forward to making possible in the settings
Hang in there... It'll be great!
Fyodor Dostoevsky and Tolstoy as contacts lol, nice!
The turny knob is a week point. It might be a good idea to have it be an indexed turny knob.
So cool. Might get this.
pls usb c and decent map navigation n ipod features n notes
cant wait to get this one.
Beautiful
Doesn't the Light Phone have a Light theme? It would be awesome to get an automatic sunset (Dark) sunrise (Light) theme.👍
It's kinda thick at 12 mm. The Pixel 9 Fold is thinner when its folded! I dig the form factor otherwise. I think they wanted to avoid a camera hump so they made the dimensions accordingly making it more stout.
good god that is beautiful.
when someone get the grip to create a rom for gsi android like this, lifes will change forever
great work! Can't wait
love it
*I hope I can use Korean when texting with the Light Phone. Please support Korean.*
Will the wheel on the side have a lock option so it doesn't move when carrying?
Please plan for a wider release.
Spotify on this possible? Or what does music mean?
Anyone with William Eggleston on their contact list has my admiration.
Guys please show how the different tools work.
It's a HUGE boy.
Great work! 😃
Stunning
It is gorgeous. I would...eat it ❤
Any thoughts of when we will be able to use these in Canada?
on this note, was always curious ask someone at design, why not implement dual-SIM card for those who travel? this new phone is clearly big enough to house two SIMS if necessary. whereas the model-II was too small to do so. (for customers or potential customers who travel a lot and don't wanna buy two phones....like i did.)
Here it is, the GTA IV phone.
Hahahahahah 😂😂
God this thing is such an engineering beauty. I hope that its thickness tied to being so light feature-wise means the battery life is insane. I'd get one if they weren't $700 🥲 Maybe one day
This started as a minimalist phone, which is why I bought it. Now the III just seems like a watered-down crappy but cool-looking phone. Can you still buy the old ones?
We still produce and support the Light Phone II, but the original Light Phone is no longer supported by carriers (the 2G network being shutdown in most regions)
this is becoming more and more like that phone in black mirror episode
