The original Light Phone brought us a refreshingly simple way to unplug from the constant distractions of a smartphone and “go light,” but maybe it was too simple. After all, we shouldn’t live without tools — just less of them. Now the makers have come up with a newer and more versatile take on unplugging from the smartphone universe.
The Light Phone 2 is a 4G LTE phone that gives you the tools you need to place and receive calls, text, and to set an alarm. In the future, the makers are considering an update that includes simple navigation, ride-sharing, music, weather, calculator, and dictionary, but no social media. The black and white matte e-ink screen is remarkably easy on the eyes, and the two-button design makes it easy to navigate the Light Phone 2’s simple menus.
Supplement your smartphone with a Light Phone 2, and enjoy the occasional evening or weekend free from social media, email, news, and other distractions that keep you from living in the moment. Or replace your smartphone altogether with a phone that respects the value of your life and your time. And five days of standby time means you can spend less time plugged in and more time doing what you love.
