About Light Phone
The Light Phone is a brand of Minimalist mobile phones by The Light Phone, Inc., a startup company in Brooklyn, New York, founded by Joe Hollier and Kaiwei Tang, which creates technology products advertised as "designed to be used as little as possible". The first model, the Light Phone, was released in 2015 as a minimalist "dumb phone" focused solely on calls. It was followed by the Light Phone II in 2019, which added texting, alarms, and a few essential tools. In 2024, the Light Phone III was introduced, featuring a black-and-white OLED screen, improved battery life, and a physical keypad and scroll wheel. The Light Phone series was conceived as a reaction against problematic smartphone use, with the discussion of apps and services such as email, social media, and web browsers being a key focus of the brand's production and marketing.
