For sure a lower priced device would be able to increase their customer base who find that Foundation Passport if off limits to them cost wise. We are very close to know what this device might be, and I couldn't be more excited about it.
While I still love my Foundation Passport device(s), and it's my go-to recommendation for hardware wallets, I agree that there should be a 'Passport Lite' of some sorts, based on the Batch 2 device but with some cost cuttings. Some items come to mind like its premium finish (cast metal), color display, and SD card slot that could be eliminated. A plastic device with monochrome display and manual seed backup at a decent price would be welcome.
The codebase also already exists and runs on 2 different kinds of hardware, so little additional costs there, and there would be the option to base it on the existing founders edition PCB, too.

In recent news though, I do plan do get one of these Prime devices; not sure if I personally need it, but I'll buy it with my own money and review it here for you guys in depth, as always!
