No. That's just a overpriced kindle.

It'd be useless for visual entertainment, other than maybe ebooks and music. I could maybe dig it if it wasn't made with og nokia specs and features.

No. Even dumbphones with monochrome LCD displays in the late 1990s at least had backlighting.
Wyatt Rivera
If the phone was compelling enough to use normally and had battery life for weeks I would consider

wont be able to watch fortnite top 10 kill or the latest gadget video by Marqus brownlee? i can imagine the soi outrage
Oliver Ward
No. My phone is a pocket Linux computer that spends less than 10% of its active time being a phone.

eInk is overrated. Just put a bigger battery inside.

You have extreme levels of autism

1.) If they where cheap
2.) If they supported music playback and PDF reading
3.) If it has no bluetooth or LTE
Joshua Gomez
I this is a dumb product. Reduce a phones function to 1/10 to have a level of battery life that is pointless.
Its like having unlimited gas but only being able to drive 5 km/h
Colton Martin
Eink display the back, regular OLED on the front, maybe. Could have some utility.
Henry Anderson
No, the response time is fucking atrocious. Can you imagine typing a phone number on an eink pad? I would throw up.
Jayden Foster
Eh? Full page refreshes are slow on eink, but you could blank and update a button & text field very quickly with a decent waveform.
Aaron Reyes
If it means 2 week battery life, fuck yeah. Color is for pussies
Kayden Davis
Waiting for Apple to make the real version.
Adam Gray
No terrible idea.
Nicholas Ortiz
if it was done well then yes
Jacob Barnes

I've backed Light Phone 2, which has an e-ink display. I expect it to fail miserably, but it's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Utility phone without all the entertainment and bloat and with an e-ink screen.

Why would you back something you know is going to fail? Also, that screen is tiny as fuck.
Grayson Mitchell
I have enough money to gamble them on something like this. I want it to succeed, but I expect it to fail. I don't mind paying for a chance of success. It's an investment in something volatile.
Phones are much too big these days, and that's in part a function of their entertainment focus. The light phone 2 doesn't have this focus and should get by with a smaller screen just fine.
