NFC chip is for digital wallets like Apple & Google Pay. I believe the same technology is used for tapping cards instead of inserting into chip readers.

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

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.

I have already ordered one. Only a few things I might need so I don't have to have a second phone for work

Solid video Chase. I second the affirmation that you have a good editing style. it seems we have the same ringtone too, haha.

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

I love your editing style Chase! I can tell you put a lot of time in your videos!

Great job, Chase! If and when my old phone finally bites the dust, I may be the owner of the 2, but I am not at all interested in the 3. Seems to be inching closer and closer to same ole, same ole. Plus, watching how it has been such a great blessing to you, makes it that much more inticing.

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

I agree with you a bit on front facing camera and fingerprint scanner. However, they said the front-facing camera won't be used for selfies at all (Joe was adamant haha).

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

If this gets WhatsApp, and two factor with the fingerprint for bank apps, similar to Face Id for iOS, i'm jumping. But I need the possibility of using WhatsApp

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.

NFC is for wireless payments mosltly, you can also read nfc badges and cards, like door/appartment access cards etc Also 400$ dollars is pure insanity for such a simple device. I'm not the target customer, I like smartphones tbh

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.

Sweet video! I would recommend turning the sound effects down, they distract from what you're saying. Also, on the intro, the writing sound effect is only in the left ear, which is a weird feeling. Thought you might want some recommendations 👍

NFC=contactless payments bro

Excellent review💯👍💯 And I've never heard of Light Phone at all. My first "smartphone", back in 2012, was a Nokia 800 Pureview. And that because of the good camera. I still use it for filming. - I could well have managed with a Light Phone, because I only use the mobile phone to make calls, e-mail and listen to Christian podcasts. And as you may have guessed Chase.... I'm almost exclusively on KZread on the weekends... as the only media I participate in.

I want a Light Phone 2.5. III has better hardware features, but I don't like the fingerprint capability or forward-facing camera. This might be a really stupid question but does the Light Phone connect to the internet? It obviously connects to a cell tower, but specifically, can it connect to wifi and the internet? And what about battery life: from full charge to 0%, how much time does that take? (for II and III) (The sensor is probably there for automatic screen brightness adjustment. I know Apple does that.)

@burntheboxes

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.

If you look at the specs the MM width of the device its wider than iPhone 13 mini by a bit so it will be good for typing on

I love an eink screen but it wouldn’t work in Australia 😂
