From Julian Chokkattu at Wired:
"A significant hardware upgrade over its predecessor, the Light Phone III is the digital detox we need right now. It's super fluid and smooth, no doubt thanks to the upgraded Qualcomm SM 4450 chipset inside with 6GB of RAM.
Microphone quality is also rock solid. I took multiple calls, and no one found my voice quality lacking. The bottom grille is the stereo speaker, and the audio is surprisingly good - it can get decently loud!
The Light Phone III is a lesson it letting go and learning that you don't need access to that bus-load of apps every waking moment.
I reviewed the original Light Phone II in 2019 and said it's not the cure for smartphone addiction. Now? It absolutely is.
Yes, you can buy a feature phone and enjoy the same levels of digital detox, but there's nothing else quite like the Light Phone III. It might have sat it my pocket far longer than any other phone I've tested, but it has an aesthetic that makes me enjoy using it in those limited interactions. Best of all, it's given me more time to take care of a few things around the house this past week, instead of scrolling through Instagram all day."
