Light Phone 3 is an intentionally minimal, ad-free smartphone alternative from Light (CEO Kai) that ships with 12 discrete tools, a color camera with two-step shutter, and a focus on repairability (removable battery) and recyclable steel packaging made with Toyo. The company markets a paid product+service model to avoid data-driven engagement, reports >100k units sold, and positions the device against the 5–6 hour/day attention problem.
