SUMMARY
The Light Flip, a new US$299 minimalist flip phone, deliberately avoids AI features and touchscreens, positioning itself against the trend of AI-integrated smartphones. It retains essential functions like calls, music, and a calendar, along with a 12MP camera utilizing a 50MP rear sensor. The phone features a USB-C charger, IP54 water resistance, a notification light, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a replaceable battery, all wrapped in Y2K-inspired charm with a keychain loop. This device joins Light's lineup of distraction-free phones running on LightOS, with pre-orders expected to ship in April 2027.
