TL;DR

Light’s latest minimalist device is a flip phone that’s available in six bold colors.

It has a 2.8-inch OLED screen, an octa-core MediaTek chipset, a 1,800mAh battery, and a 12MP camera.

It’s priced at $299 and will start shipping from April 2027.

Light, the company behind minimalist phones such as the Light Phone 3 , has decided to take its minimal-phone formula and apply it to flip phones. The company’s new Light Flip is its answer to customers asking for a flip phone that isn’t poorly built or packed with addictive (or useless) apps.

The Light Flip will be available in six colors: Black, Navy, Red, Pink, Yellow, and Gray. What’s more, the company is using its tried-and-tested formula from the three generations of Light Phones it has built previously for its Flip phone as well. The phone will run LightOS and include tools like an alarm, calendar, directions, music, podcasts, and more. It even comes with a built-in authenticator app for two-factor authentication.
