Light is a radically different technology company. We design beautiful tools that respect and empower our users and our first product is The Light Phone.

Anybody have one of these gizmos? Seems a bit interesting to me although it also lacks a number of non-social smartphone features I like/use:

  • mapping/directions (apparently this is an optional feature, no idea about quality)
  • audiobooks (although maybe podcasts app can be used?)
  • signal/whatsapp
  • email (viewing email as addictive in 2024 is a bit quaint; remember "crackberries"?)
  • nat_turner_overdrive [he/him]

    Those light phones are cool but I don't think I could use one for similar reasons. If you're comfortable with Android then maybe one of the Unihertz Jelly phones might be good? They're still full-featured Android devices, but they're very small so you are in theory less inclined to doomscroll etc.
