Whether you’re looking for an affordable backup phone or an easy way to disconnect from social media, Light Phone 2 channels simpler times – long before Snake and midi ringtones were popular.

Light Phone 2 is incredibly slim just like an iPhone but purposefully lacks all the bells of whistles of a contemporary smartphone. You won’t find any social networking apps, GIFs, ads, email, internet browsing, or anything else that could pull you from the real world.

Phone calls, a contact list, text messaging, alarms and the ability to set up a wireless hotspot cover all of the phone’s functions. The purpose of this minimal device is to keep you connected while avoiding distractions and potential social media addiction.
