As a response to complicated and attention-consuming gadgets like the Apple Watch or Google Glass, the Light Phone aims to crystallize cellphone communication down to the most basic tenets. Cleverly branded as "your phone away from phone," the stripped-down gadget is intended to receive forwarded calls from your smartphone, for those occasions when you'd prefer not be distracted by texts, emails and social media. Featuring a keypad, a simple LED display showing the time, as well as a speaker and microphone, the user-friendly, credit card-sized gadget is seemingly ideal for trips to the beach or nights out.
