Summary
$299 is the preorder price for Light Flip, a minimalist 5G flip phone that strips out touchscreen controls, social media, web browsing, email and apps like WhatsApp.
Light says the device targets users—especially younger ones—who want fewer distractions and a sharper break from smartphone design and habits.
Essential features are limited to tools such as alarms, calendar, navigation, weather, two-factor authentication, and offline music and podcasts on LightOS, which the company says will never add ads, news or social networks.
Modern hardware remains intact: a 2.8-inch monochrome OLED screen, 50-megapixel rear camera, 6 GB RAM, 128 GB storage, eSIM and nano-SIM support, plus a replaceable 1,800 mAh battery.
April 2027 is the target for first deliveries, while U.S. buyers will also be able to get the phone on contract plans starting at $39 a month.
