off.
In that dream world, there are no constant pings, no group texts that make you feel trapped, no emails from clients or angry bosses, and no updates that render your phone slower than it was before. Instead, there's just silence.
It sounds idyllic â and completely impossible.
But that's the idea behind The Light Phone, a "dumb" phone that only allows the user to text and make phone calls.
The most updated model, the Light Phone 2, is about the size of a credit card and looks like a miniature Kindle Paperwhite. It comes in two colors and costs about $300, and its functions are basic: It rings when someone calls and has a little touch screen where you can (arduously) type out texts. The phone's battery allows it to last for three or four days with normal use.
