The Anti-Smartphone, What?!?

Can you imagine yourself having a phone without Social Medial, no games and browser or other app install? With the innovative technology today, I strongly doubt that you can finish a day without updating your status on Facebook and twitter or even checking your email.

But did you know that there is a phone existing opposite to smartphone? It is odd but believe me, soon it will be exist.

The Light Phone, it is slim, light and can last up to 20 days and only can do is to answer a calls. It’s as if the designers of the Sports Illustrated Football Phone had researched the ageless theories of William Walker Atkinson and develop a mobile phone that has been innocent best of the greatest telecommunication unit. And believe it or not, the price is just a $100. 

READ: Odd about cellular country complaints

What else does it do? Nothing. You just put the SIM card and press buttons and walla! You can now make some calls and receive. The phone has no games, browsers no NFC. It does only have a quick dial, which is good and it doubles the light compare to other mobile phone so you can use it as a flashlight.

Joe Hollier and Kaiwei Tang develop the unit at Google’s 30 weeks incubator in New York. The creator are both background in design.

Joe Hollier explained, “We started building this because it became very clear that true happiness means being present. This has been written about by so many of the smartest minds since Seneca. So much of our days are spent connected and staring at screens that we are losing that presence in so many situations. We built the Light Phone as a way for people to find balance with their connectedness. It’s not that we think people should never connect again, it’s just that taking a break is extremely healthy in every sense of the word.”

The objective is simple to use the phone as minor as possible. They include a 500 minutes of prepaid talk time and it charges through USB however they actually need you to take it out, make a call and put it back simple as that. They are planning to ship it next year in May 2016.

Because of its affordable and so basic there is no reason to be replaced this phone.

Hollier said, “This phone will likely never need to be replaced by a new model. This project is really about a conversation we want to start. Is where technology is going really the way we want in terms of living our day to day lives in the happiest sense? We are not against tech at all (clearly we joined an incubator and have a passion for this) but we think that maybe we need to put the human first in tech again and think about what kind of tech will make our lives better in the long term. I don’t think the Light Phone is the end all be all answer to this question but it’s our first step in starting the conversation and we have lots of ideas for going forward.”

This is really an odd and do basic phone that will release next year and I’m pretty sure that there will be more unique devices that be announce and release soon, and promise to keep you posted.
