The Light Phone III
The Light Phone is a tool for living in the moment. Unlike the tech monopolies that are fighting for our time and attention, this phone is intended to be used as little as possible. The latest model features a custom matte OLED display, metal frame, USB-C charging, fingerprint ID, flashlight, 5G, an NFC chip, and a clickable wheel. It’s not possible to download apps and instead, users can choose from a selection of tools such as alarm, calculator, calendar, directions, hotspot, music, notes/voice memo, podcast, or timer. Another exciting addition is a camera designed to emulate film photography.
