Light Phone 3 (www.thelightphone.com)

So, I preordered the Light Phone 3? I considered the 2 for a while but it is just to clunky with its eink screen, texting would be a nightmare.

What are y'all's thoughts on the new design? Do you think minimalist phones are worth it?

I can't speak for everyone, but the lightphone can be a wifi hotspot. That's a feature that makes it more attractive to me. I would get a minimalist phone to avoid carrying distractions around with me, but I would still want to be able to get online via a tablet or laptop.

Edit: I hadn't looked at the punkt phones, but they also can be a wifi hotspot.

It's more to carry but you could get a Nokia and a hotspot device for way less if that was what you needed. And again you could buy those things now, they exist.

I did this until recently, monochrome Nokia and a hotspot for when I needed connectivity for my work laptop. I changed when I needed to do site surveys more frequently, a tablet with a Sim made much more sense.
