Kendrick Lamar’s company recently released a limited-edition Light Phone 2, which sold out on the same day. However, for those still interested in obtaining a “dumb” phone, Light offers a nearly identical model. The rapper’s pgLang collaborated with tech company Light to release the 250 limited-edition phones that had no web browser or social media apps for $299.
The pgLang Light Phone offers basic features such as calling, texting, setting an alarm, and acting as a hotspot, with additional tools like a music player, notes, a calculator, and directions. The regular Light Phone 2 looks almost identical, but lacks the unique “language” tool and the pgLang branding.
These phones have become popular among young people looking to limit screen time, with support from Lamar’s brand boosting their popularity. A pgLang Light Phone was auctioned on eBay for $435, nearly $200 more than its original retail price, indicating high demand. The regular Light Phone 2 is available for $299 on the tech company’s website.
Overall, the limited-edition phones’ popularity has shown that there is a market for devices that provide basic phone functions without the distraction of a smartphone.
