Phoenix and Breez are both lightweight but full Lightning nodes that run directly on your phone. So no, you need to run a node. But they come with it and manage all the channels and liquidity for you, so you don't need to run a *separate* node.

๐ and Blixt wallet are recommended noncustodial wallets
I haven't messed with Blixt yet, but IIUC they don't manage liquidity for you, is that right?
Zapped
So from what i understand
Non custodian : breez, phoenix, blitx
Not sure: muun
All of this can run without a node? (Or rather, a phone relay?)
You can enable Dunder LSP in settings for that. Haven't used it yet. #[9] is the dev and may be able to answer questions on it. ๐ค
