The LoFone is marketed as a minimalist 'dumbphone' that comes with an economical E Ink display and completely dispenses with distractions such as social networks. Unlike most direct competitors, apps such as WhatsApp and Spotify will still be available.
I wish it did have a browser and social media. I love the look and style of some of these minimalist phones. But I do wish they made those sort of choices, choices the consumer can make. I just want a good eink phone, that’s it. I don’t need it to be a mostly dumb phone too
