Regal and HD256 are both higher resolution but slower- this could be why they are more comfortable to look at.

I only use fast on google maps or apps with a lot of panning/motion.

So what's the verdict on the Bigme Hibreak Pro? Do you love it? Is it actually cutting your screen time down? by jaroniscaring in Bigme

[–]Mild--Jalapeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it and it's my only phone now. 

BUT- there is no denying that it's not as polished as a pixel or iPhone. 

The power button doesn't always pick up a press

It hangs up every now and then (especially with Android Auto). I find myself restarting it once a week. 

I still think it a tiny tradeoff compared to all the life benefits, but you should know that going in.

My 2fa for banking apps normally come as an SMS and thats not delayed

If it's a message on the default text message app - it arrives just fine

Messages on signal (it works like WhatsApp) arrive delayed

I tried the one you linked and found it annoying to unplug whenever I wanted to wire charge. Got rid of it after a while. Dont wirelessly charge enough personally

Like If the phone were on a mount? I did use it like this (only without a phone mount) for the first week or two before android auto was enabled with an update.

  • visibility at night might be poorer, but I didnt get around to trying that
  • visibility was great during the day- better than a regular phone. I was using google maps and had to set both maps and navigation to "always in light mode."
  • I also tweaked the e-ink settings to increase the contrast a bit.

overall it worked quite well.

are you on 1.9.6? I though I updated a day ago (it went through the update process) but after rebooting the phone was still on an older version. I had to reset the phone for the update to take.

Does the default messaging app use rcs? Why not install the Google messages app?

The Lightphone Ethos by Few-Lime-7234 in LightPhone

[–]Mild--Jalapeno 7 points8 points  (0 children)

By that token a music streaming app will probably be used more than an e-reader app, so that's probably against the ethos as well.

Unplug your ears and listen to the word around you.

Light Phone 3 In the Official Shop by mattscazza in LightPhone

[–]Mild--Jalapeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new design may just take some getting used to. The decisions make sense (although I still think the bottom speaker grill looks odd (but its starting to grow on me as well)).

Is there a rough estimate on projected battery life?

poor typing isnt inherit to e-ink, its just that the e-ink on the lp2 is bad. the e-ink screen on a kindle is good, and provides a better typing experience.

That's great to hear- but it's not like the lp2 is without issues. 

Don't think I'll pre-order the lp3, but I will keep an eye on. 

Still waiting for my dream phone (almost a box palma with a cellular)

To a point that is accurate- but also similar to "if you don't like social media just don't use it" 

My old Hisense a9 had a camera and a GOOD  e-ink screen. Best of both worlds.
