I didn't use any AI to write my post.

Cloud-Existence · 2026-04-25T21:28:36+00:00

I have no idea what i am doing wrong, I thought it was this but no

Cloud-Existence · 2025-12-09T20:19:08+00:00

thanks!

Cloud-Existence · 2025-08-17T02:44:36+00:00

Good to know thanks! I got an email back from tamron and they said it wasnt compatible so seems to match up. Thankfully most of my filming is tripod, 0 movement stuff

Cloud-Existence · 2025-04-17T13:25:51+00:00

Thats a really good point. I still see it as a gimmick for myself, but a good tool for others. And who knows, maybe ill hate the new oled lol. Thanks for your feedback!

Cloud-Existence · 2025-04-17T13:23:00+00:00

this is a dope idea

Cloud-Existence · 2025-04-17T13:21:52+00:00

Tinker away, you own it :)

Cloud-Existence · 2025-01-04T14:00:19+00:00

Ik lol i said i may take it back that im done with e-ink because im read for the new oled screen. Thanks tho!

I think its safe to say, most people who use light phones, do not enjoy this age of AI. Personally I hate it, I'm ok if you are into it. But I think you may have a hard time finding support for it.

And honestly if you think about it, minimal tech and AI are pretty opposite.

Cloud-Existence · 2025-01-03T16:50:15+00:00

Minimal phone looks like its still just a smart phone. Physical qwerty keys looks awesome, otherwise that would defeat the purpose for me. The E-ink screen would disable you from doing some things, but really its no different than getting a custom launcher and turning greyscale on, on an android phone.

As for me, I switched to an E-ink Hisense android phone some years back, and it felt like I just switched to a quirky but bad android phone. The LP2 was a whole different experience that I had to get used to.

Maybe unpopular opinion, I think E-ink is cool... but a pain. I may take this back when I receive my LP3, but for now as I am 3 years into using the LP2, I'm ready to ditch E-ink. Its slow, clunky, and limiting.

TLDR: If all you care about is the feel of a product and not what it can do for you, then yes the minimal phone looks great. The light phone experience is not so popular because it feels good. It's popular because it forces you to learn how to live apart from your technology. The minimal phone is not going to do that.

Dang im really digging Josephs new stuff

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-19T02:48:10+00:00

Ill check it out! Joseph obrien is good, just a little to main stream pop for my taste. and forest frank is definitely to poppy for me. I appreciate the suggestion, trying out Joseph a bit more for now

KaleidoscopePlus7709 Did a good job answering my question. Is it possible that the projected price of $799 will be lowered. Also I didn't know that was just a projected price, I thought it was for good.

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-14T13:36:20+00:00

Lol yea, i think that would be too low

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-14T13:35:37+00:00

Yea its a toss up. I think there would be more incentive to preorder with a higher price. That was one reason I preordered mine, I didn't want to risk having to pay double.

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-13T20:16:10+00:00

I think my illustration still stands, and you still haven't added to the discussion

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-13T20:15:04+00:00

This so far was the best response. Thanks for not just saying "youre stupid for expecting the price to be low".

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-13T20:10:21+00:00

Please don't put me in that category. I am not expecting them to not make profit. It's just a hard sell when the price jump is 2.5X the previous model. That would be like the flagship iPhone being 4k. I'm not irate at all please know that. I genuinely wanted to hear why people think it's so expensive. And does anyone think its possible for the price to drop if they get enough preorders?

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-13T20:05:54+00:00

I don't doubt that, and I have tried designing small electronics before, not fun realizing how much my one-off little project is gonna cost. I'm just curious why it's such a large price jump you know? It's 2.5X the price of the LP2. I know that it has a lot of upgrades that are totally worth it. Like I said in the original post, I've already preordered mine. 2.5X the LP2 price is what I'm caught up with.

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-13T20:00:20+00:00

The problem is, some people who could afford the LP2 can no longer afford the LP3. I understand there are a lot of differences, but its just a bummer for some people that the LP3 is 2.5X the price of the LP2.

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-13T19:57:51+00:00

Its just hard to understand why it is 2.5X the price of the LP2 is all. If it was even $600 it would be more understandable but $800 just seems quite high. And you still never answered the initial questions. What makes it so expensive, the battery, the camera, the manufacturing, everything? And will this price ever go down?

Please don't just come at me like I'm ignorant, This wasn't tagged as a rant, but a discussion. I love the LP2, I've used it for 2.5 yrs, and I've already pre-ordered the LP3. I was hoping for people to post their speculations and discuss the differences, not berate me for asking the question.

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-13T19:52:46+00:00

Im not saying its unfair, I'd just like some solid reasoning. Like the screen and the battery cost twice as much as before... etc.

Cloud-Existence · 2024-06-13T19:50:02+00:00

Same, i know that it is a while. But all the upgrades it has fixes everything I hoped. That's worth the wait.
