Light Flip is a minimalistic flip phone that won't distract you

Remember Light, the New York-based company that builds super-simple, distraction-free, cheap smartphones? It's back with a new device; its first-ever flip phone called the Light Flip. Once again, this is a cheap phone designed to free you from endless scrolling and social media addiction, while still offering the basic tools you need for everyday life. To do this, the company has built an Android-based, minimalistic operating system called LightOS that's mostly textual and displays everything in just two colors. You do get access to music, messages, alarms, and other basic apps, but you don't get to scroll the flashy new TIkTok video; that's what your other phone is for. The Light Flip doesn't stray far from the formula, but approaches it with the body of a flip phone. In many ways, it's far more simple than the company's previous phone, the Light Phone III, which has an OLED touchscreen. The Light Flip is basically your flip phone of old, with a plastic body, a numeric, T9 keypad, some function buttons, and a 2.8-inch, non-touch display. Inside, it's powered by a MediaTek MT8873 chip, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and has a 50-megapixel camera and a (replaceable) 1,800mAh battery.
