The Light Phone 3 is a smartphone that’s not trying to be smart — at least not in the usual way. It skips out on the algorithmic doomscrolling, social media rabbit holes, and addictive apps to give you just the essentials: calls, texts, calendar, camera, and music... sort of. Linus gives it a look and tries to figure out if a minimalist phone like this can actually fit into his very connected life. Spoiler: it’s complicated.
