I use my phone distraction free.

I disable notifications i don't care / are not notificatin worthy. I remove myself from newsletters. I use the 'Do not disturb' mode.

I don't need an 'light' phone. I need my phone as powerful as it is right now when i wanna use google maps, it should be fast and responsive and with great details.



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.


I need a bossdad phone: such that only emails from my boss or whatsapp from my parents show up in the notifications.
