pgLang is gearing up to drop the Light Phone II and it will be an ultra-exclusive release limited to just 250 units retailing for $250 each. The distraction-free device is branded as "just a phone" and its minimalist design was intentionally made to support a focused, productive approach to communication. The built-from-scratch phone is free from third-party apps that can track user activity, and in an age where users' data is a product, this device recenters users as customers.
The mobile device offers an intuitive approach to interaction and the language tool, for example, will allow users to ask a question, shake the device and get an on-screen response.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar and filmmaker Dave Free’s multi-lingual company, pgLang, got its start in 2020 and this collaboration with technology company Light represents its first foray into the creation of gadgets.
