Still, the Light Phone 2 appears to be pretty much the same phone on first glance, minus the unique “language” tool that is essentially a magic 8-ball and the pgLang branding on the shell. It also comes with the same $299 price tag as the limited-edition option.

Neither model has a camera and both have a paper-like screen similar to that of some e-readers.

On its official website, Light advertises the Light Phone 2 as “a great phone for parents to give to children as an alternative to a smartphone.”

Such minimalistic phones have become popular among some young people who are looking to cut back on screen time.

And mainstream support from Lamar’s brand is boosting popularity.
