It doesn't look like they are attempting to replace your powerful phone. It seems the Light Phone 2 is something you use alongside your main device.
So I can already see how this device might be useful.
If you are shooting out the house quickly to go surfing, climbing, trail running you can grab your light phone with a smaller physical footprint and only essential functionality.
But at $300 not sure its worth it yet. The new Nokia 3310 offers most of the same for $55.
Mostly makes sense. What seems strange in this pitch is that there's no camera. I totally get why there's no camera, but in the "outdoor activity, minimal functions" scenario, I generally want one.
