We’re all for the convenience and constant connectedness that comes with the modern smartphone, but we all spend too much time staring at screens on a regular basis. You can turn off notifications. You can set an OOO for your email. You can even install apps to help you disconnect. But having the ability to hop on Instagram, Facebook or Reddit whenever you want can be too much distraction in and of itself. That’s where the Light Phone II comes in. The Light Phone II is a modern take on the old school phones that allowed you to stay connected without getting distracted. It can make phone calls, send texts, play music, call a cab, take notes and let you see your calendar. It cannot do social media, news, email or images. It’s intentionally designed and built around a feature set that makes it incredibly usable while still removing the temptation that leads to screen fatigue. The Light Phone II is currently available for pre-order in both black and white options with an expected delivery date before the end of October.
