Love the aesthetic. I heavily prefer "warm" photos over pixel perfection.

I don't need to see every last crevice and pimple on someone's face to evoke the emotion of being there. As long as they aren't too blurry, it's good enough for me.

As someone with a light phone 2 who hates cellphones, I love this company. The light phone is a breath of fresh air.

For 90% of people it seems like it would be unusable so I’m glad they are still going hard to expand their market.

My biggest gripe is that companies in the USA like Verizon have really fucked me swapping to the phone. I recommend you FIRST get a SIM card and then and only then attempt to swap phones.

I'm really looking forward to this phone. However, their limited take on Android is very limiting, as a phone often needs to be at least a 2FA device as well. Without some support for Play Store/F-Droid, this can't really be one's only mobile device, which is sad. I love the overall design.

MFA and allowing some sort of music streaming (specifically Plex, for me) would make this a no brainer. Without those two, like you said, it wouldn't be able to be my only mobile device.

Exactly! The Minimal Phone[0] seems to be headed in a better direction in this sense, as the 'limitation' of that device is the screen being eink, but the OS is more or less vanila Android. Interestingly, I got used to using my regular LineageOS phone in reading mode (greyscale) with a similar effect: I used it less and my usage is more on the point than before.
