Minimalists Rejoice! Light Phone III Will Be Available March 27

Social media is one of the worst things we’ve invented. The amount of time we spend on it and how some people live and die by the number of likes they receive is scary. This is why if you’re looking to take a step back, but not completely, then the Light Phone III could be the phone for you, and it will be available on the 27th of March.

Light Phone III coming 27th March

For those unfamiliar, the Light Phone III is the third-gen model of the original Light Phone, which was launched in 2017. It was a phone that did all the basic things you’d want from a phone—nothing more, nothing less. It was a perfect way to eliminate distractions without cutting yourself off from society.

Now with the Light Phone III, the company is back with a new model that offers some improvements. For starters, the company has ditched the E Ink display in favor of OLED. OLED should offer a better viewing experience, but it could come at the expense of battery life. The phone also comes with a 3.92-inch display. This is considerably smaller than we’ve seen, but it should still be pretty functional.

There is a new control wheel located on the left side. This allows users to adjust the display’s brightness and access features like the flashlight. There’s a built-in 50MP rear-facing camera and an 8MP front-facing shooter. It doesn’t have access to social media, so these photos are just for you and your memories.

Under the hood, the Qualcomm SM 4450 chipset powers the Light Phone III. It comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, a removable battery, and an NFC chip supporting contactless payments. The Light Phone III is a blend of a feature phone and a smartphone, so it will support 5G connectivity so you can remain connected.

All in all, it’s actually a pretty cool device, but it won’t come cheap. The Light Phone III is priced at $799. This is a lot more expensive than its predecessor, which was priced at $299. However, if you think that this is the phone for you, you can pre-order it now. The Light Phone III is available via the company’s website with a special pre-order price of $599. The phone will launch on the 27th of March and is estimated to ship out in June. You’ll want to move quickly, though. The company says that pre-orders will ship chronologically. So, the longer you wait to pre-order, the longer you’ll have to wait for your shipment.
