Light Unveils $299 Light Flip to Curb Smartphone Use Ahead of 2027 Shipping

Summary
$299 is the price of Light’s new Light Flip, a minimalist flip phone the company says is meant to get users to leave their smartphones at home at times rather than replace them outright.
Early 2027 shipping sets the device apart from an immediate retail launch, with Light opening preorders now after announcing the phone this week.
Light positions the Flip as its strongest take yet on the minimalist-phone concept, extending a product line built around reduced functionality and lower screen dependence.
The launch lands as foldable and flip-style phones gain momentum more broadly, though Light is targeting digital restraint instead of premium multitasking.
