Conceptualized by Kaiwei Tang and Joe Hollier, product designers and innovators, and Featured on Kickstarter (a popular fundraising website). This credit card sized block aspires to be nothing more than a Phone, plain and simple.
Loaded with its own SIM card that is unlocked and can connect to any network, the Light phone is designed to work standalone or in conjunction with your existing phone (via Light Phone app). The way this works is that you route all voice calls from your Primary phone to your Light Phone, filtering out Messages, Facebook notifications, Emails and all other unwanted notifications. Thus effectively letting you stay connected with your near and dear ones without the need to tag along an expensive liability like your smartphone.
