Light Phone 2: the minimalist smartphone for the adicts who have money

-

Still in development, this ultra-basique terminal aims drugs from the laptop. But the "less is more" has a price.

Drugged to Facebook and Twitter, you look about 500 times a day your smartphone. You perceive as a dependency to your digital security blanket? You want to win? You have two options: opt for a good old feature phone with 2G keyboard at 15 euros. But it's not very fancy.

Or choose a minimalist smartphone, new trend of the moment. Lord? In form, it resembles a sleek smartphone but in the background, its functions are very limited. This is the case of the Light Phone that allows only to make calls (and 9 numbers)...

A new version is in preparation, a little less radical since it will be possible to send messages through an E - ink screen text and will support 4 G (to do what, we don't know). It should also be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 chip, dedicated originally to the connected objects, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of memory storage.

Indiegogo campaign was launched for its development with marketing planned for 2019. One small problem, its price: the minimalist as in art has a price: $ 400. Or how take junkies for suckers.
