Light, known for its minimalist approach to mobile technology, is set to launch its latest device, the Light Phone III, on March 27. Designed to help users disconnect from the overwhelming distractions of modern smartphones and social media, the new model builds on its predecessor's simple, functional design while introducing several noteworthy upgrades. While retaining the familiar black-and-white aesthetic, the Light Phone III replaces its traditional e-paper display with a vibrant 3.92-inch AMOLED screen that promises clearer visuals and improved responsiveness. These enhancements are complemented by improvements in repairability—users can now access the battery and easily replace the screen and USB port, addressing one of the longstanding concerns among minimalist phone enthusiasts. The company has also focused on usability and ergonomic design, making the phone roughly the same width as most iPhones for a more comfortable grip. Light co-founder Joe Hollier highlighted that despite the move to an AMOLED display, the device will still capture many of the beloved characteristics of its e-ink predecessor, ensuring a distinct and pleasant user experience without the glare of typical smartphone screens. For those who appreciate versatility, the Light Phone III remains an unlocked device, giving users the freedom to decide whether to adopt it as their primary phone or keep it as a reliable backup when they need a break from constant connectivity.
