Upgrade to Simplicity: Light Phone 3 Brings Advanced Features and Higher Price Point

Light, a company specializing in minimalist devices, recently unveiled their latest model, the Light Phone 3. This new upgrade from the Light Phone 2 released in 2018 offers more features akin to a smartphone. The Light Phone 2 could make calls and send texts while also providing navigation, music, podcasts, and a calendar. However, it did not have a web browser. The Light Phone 3 now includes additional functions such as fingerprint ID, front and rear cameras, and the potential to support a digital wallet.

The company’s goal was to make it easier for users to transition to a simpler device. However, these new features come at a higher price point. The Light Phone 3 retails for $799, $500 more than its predecessor. On par with the cost of an iPhone 14 Plus. One exciting addition to the Light Phone 3 is the presence of both front and rear cameras complete with a shutter button on the side. Light designed the rear camera after a classic point-and-shoot camera offering users an authentic way to take pictures while maintaining simplicity. With a front-facing camera, video calls are also possible on this device.

In recent years there has been growing demand for simpler phones that reduce screen time. The Light Phone series meets this need by providing essential smartphone functions like navigation, music and podcasts without apps that encourage extended screen use. Though some have turned to basic flip phones for digital detoxing purposes; light phones offer an alternative middle ground for those who wish to maintain connectivity without distractions from social media or other apps that consume their time and attention span unnecessarily . For those interested in getting one of these devices ,the light phone 3 is available for preorder at discounted price of $399 until July 16th ,and is set to start shipping in January 2025 . Whether you are looking for break from digital world or want be more present in your daily life ,Light phone 3 offers an enhanced lifestyle choice
