Light Phone Is A Anti Smartphone Device

[chandoo]

Light Phone is a simple GSM device with lots of battery timing, and the only thing you can do with it is take calls. It has five hundred pre-paid minutes that can be used to attend call forwarding from the parent smartphone. It can also store ten numbers on speed dial at all times. The device is currently looking for crowd funding at Kickstarter. All of these incredible numbers of functions are handled through a companion app installed in your primary smartphone.



The anti-smart phone's design is the most positive thing about it. The screen is a simple dot matrix LED one with even a touch module over the keyboard. The overall size of the anti-smart phone is more or less equal to a credit card. It weighs 39 grams, and the total thickness is 4 mm. A micro-USB port is used for charging purposes. Such is the small power requirement that the phone can run for a good twenty days. Despite the lengths to which the company has gone to, we can't scratch our heads enough to wonder why anybody would want this 100$ gadget.
