The dial for screen brightness and flashlight, the dedicated two-level shutter button (also opens the camera tool), the UI, it's just great.<br>But it also has 6GB of RAM (not sure why that much), no headphone jack, no [micro]SD -card slot, and is made in China (despite the high-ish price). If it were open-source, though, I would probably buy it anyway right now. <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/LightPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LightPhone</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/LightPhone3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LightPhone3</span></a></p>

Gavin Lux Enjoyer<p>I've been rocking this LP3 exclusively for almost a week now. I have some thoughts:<br>1) yes, getting rid of my smart phone was the right decision. I am happier to be in the moment, I can watch a movie without being distracted etc. <br>2) The biggest losses for me are <br> a) facetime/imessage (my son can no longer call me from his ipad)<br> b) online banking and zelle</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/lightphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lightphone</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/lightphone3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lightphone3</span></a></p>
